Leaving Homeproxy: the honest replacements

Weighing up Homeproxy? What is actually published, what it does not tell you, and how to settle the decision on your own target for a few dollars.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

See plans & pricing

Two things decide whether a web proxy works for you, and neither appears on a pricing page: how the pool behaves against your specific target, and what happens to money you have paid but not spent.

What is on file for Homeproxy

You will find them at homeproxy.com. In our own records they sit in the web proxy category.

We price the providers we can source and date, and Homeproxy is not currently one of them. The rest of this page is about what to check when you read their pricing yourself.

When you do read it, note four things: the rate you actually qualify for today, the minimum purchase, whether unused balance expires, and whether failed requests are billed. Those four decide the real cost more than the headline does.

Their own description, read this week

The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "521 - Web server is down".

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.

That is the vendor speaking, not us. We print it because a claim with a date attached is at least falsifiable.

How long Homeproxy has been trading

The domain was registered on 28 June 2012, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 14 years old. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026. The registration currently runs to 28 June 2027.

None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.

What a pricing page leaves out

Shared or dedicated changes everything

An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.

The country total, and the country you use

Almost every provider claims almost every country. What differs is depth, and depth decides whether a single city or a single carrier is usable. No published figure tells you that.

The response time nobody advertises

Test the support channel before you need it. Ask something specific and technical, and judge both the speed and whether the answer came from somebody who understood the question.

The rows that decide it

Compare on these rows and ignore the feature lists on both sites:

Where a cell points you at their terms, that is because the answer moves and a stale quotation would be worse than none. The missing row, in every table of this kind, is the one only your own measurement can fill.

The measurement that outranks every review

This costs less than a coffee and produces the only evidence that applies to your workload.

  1. Put a few dollars on each account. Trials are fine for a first look, but paid traffic is what you will actually be buying.
  2. Run them against the site you actually care about, using the code you actually run, within the same hour.
  3. Track the success rate and the bandwidth. A cheap gigabyte that fails half the time is not cheap.
  4. Run a sample of the addresses through an independent lookup, because advertised geography and actual geography differ more often than the market admits.
  5. Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.

Comparable providers

We hold the same record for these, and the same honest limits apply to each:

What we sell, stated plainly

If you want our side of it: $0.44 per GB for residential, pay as you go, nothing expires, and the free tools stay free. We would rather you measured than believed us, which is why the test comes before this paragraph rather than after it.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a Homeproxy alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
What does Homeproxy advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for Homeproxy, so this page does not print one. Read their own pricing page for the rate, the minimum and the commitment, and note the date you read it, because all three move.
How do I compare two providers fairly?
Match the units first, because residential is billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, and mobile per day or per port. Then compare the rate you can actually reach today rather than the volume tier behind a commitment. Finish by measuring the success rate on your own target, since a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works.
Is a cheaper provider usually worse?
Not reliably. Price in this market reflects the supply model and the sales overhead as much as the network. What price does not tell you is the success rate on your target, and that is the figure that decides whether the cheaper option was cheap or expensive. Measure before assuming either way.
Are free web proxies safe to log in through?
Treat them as unsafe for anything involving an account. A web proxy sits between you and the site and can read and alter what passes through it, and many are funded by advertising injected into the pages they serve. Use them for reading, not for signing in.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
