Evomi is the competitor that beats us on the sticker price, so we are going to lead with that instead of hiding it. Evomi's residential is $0.49/GB against our $0.65, and it is a well-run Swiss network with a real reputation for low prices and ethical sourcing. The honest comparison is not about pretending we are cheaper per gigabyte, because on the plan rate we are not. It is about one detail the headline leaves out: Evomi's $0.49 comes on a monthly plan, and whether that is cheaper than our no-plan $0.65 depends entirely on how much you actually use.
Is HProxy a good Evomi alternative?
For many buyers, yes, and for an honest reason rather than a price claim. Evomi's residential is cheaper per GB ($0.49 versus $0.65), but that rate needs a $49.99/month plan for 100 GB. HProxy's $0.65 is pay as you go with no plan, no monthly minimum, and a balance that never expires. If your usage is steady and high, Evomi's plan is cheaper. If it is small, bursty, or unpredictable, HProxy is cheaper because you are not paying a monthly fee for volume you did not pull.
The short version
- Price: Evomi residential is $0.49/GB, below HProxy's flat $0.65/GB. On the sticker price, Evomi is cheaper, and we own that.
- The catch: Evomi's $0.49 needs a $49.99/month plan (100 GB). HProxy's $0.65 needs no plan and no monthly minimum.
- Breakeven: Above roughly 77 GB a month of steady use, Evomi's plan is cheaper. Below that, or on bursty usage, HProxy's pay as you go is cheaper.
- Model: HProxy's balance never expires and there is no subscription. Evomi's low rate is tied to a recurring monthly plan.
If you steadily fill a monthly plan, read the Evomi section honestly, it may be your answer. If your usage is smaller or uneven, the pricing section is the whole story.
Evomi pricing vs HProxy: the part that decides it
| HProxy | Evomi | |
|---|---|---|
| Residential, per GB | $0.65 | $0.49 |
| To get that rate | Nothing, pay as you go | A $49.99/month plan (100 GB) |
| Monthly commitment | None | $49.99/month for the $0.49 rate |
| Balance | Never expires, top up any time | Tied to the monthly plan |
| Onboarding | Self-serve, no KYC | Self-serve, free trial |
| Datacenter | Yes, pay as you go | From $0.35/GB |
| Residential pool | Residential, ISP, datacenter, mobile | 54M+ residential, 150+ countries |
The $0.49 is real and it is lower than our $0.65. What decides your actual bill is that Evomi's rate is a plan and ours is not. A plan is cheaper per gigabyte only if you reliably use the gigabytes. Here is what the same monthly residential usage costs on each, so you can see exactly where the line is:
| Residential used per month | HProxy at $0.65/GB | Evomi $49.99 plan |
|---|---|---|
| 20 GB | $13.00 | $49.99 |
| 50 GB | $32.50 | $49.99 |
| ~77 GB | ~$50.00 | $49.99 |
| 100 GB | $65.00 | $49.99 |
| 200 GB | $130.00 | ~$99.00 |
The crossover is around 77 GB a month. Below it, HProxy's pay as you go is cheaper, because Evomi still charges $49.99 for the plan whether you pull 20 GB or 100. Above it, Evomi's plan wins, and at 200 GB (the plan plus $0.49 for each of the next 100 GB) Evomi is clearly cheaper. That is the honest shape of it: Evomi is the better price for steady, high-volume months, and HProxy is the better price for small, occasional, or unpredictable use where a monthly subscription would sit half-empty.
The pay-as-you-go point is the whole HProxy case here. The figure that decides your bill is what you pay per successful request, and a monthly plan you underfill pushes that number up every month you do not hit your volume. HProxy ties the cost to work you actually did, and the balance never expires, so a project that goes quiet does not keep paying $49.99.

Where Evomi genuinely wins
This is the part a marketing comparison would skip, so here it is straight.
Price per GB, if you fill a plan. At $0.49/GB on its $49.99 plan, Evomi is genuinely cheaper than our $0.65 for steady residential usage above the breakeven. If you pull 100 GB or more of residential every month like clockwork, that is a real, ongoing saving, and it is the honest reason to pick Evomi.
A Swiss base and compliance posture. Evomi is based in Switzerland and advertises an ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II in progress. For a buyer who weighs jurisdiction and formal compliance, that posture is a genuine feature, and it is more than most low-cost providers offer.
Ethical sourcing and a clean reputation. Evomi advertises a 54M+ pool of ethically sourced residential IPs across 150+ countries and has built a reputation on low prices and sourcing transparency. If sourcing matters to you, that reputation is worth something real, and its cheap datacenter (from $0.35/GB) rounds out the range.
If those describe you, Evomi earns the pick. A no-commitment model at ours does not erase a genuinely lower per-GB rate at theirs when you can fill the plan.
Where HProxy wins as an Evomi alternative
No plan, no monthly minimum. HProxy's $0.65 is the rate whether you buy 5 GB or 500, with nothing to subscribe to. For small or uneven usage, that beats a $49.99 monthly plan that charges the same in a quiet month as a busy one.
A balance that never expires. Top up once and the credit sits there until you use it. A paused project does not keep paying a subscription, and unused credit does not lapse at the end of a billing month.
No KYC for standard use. Self-serve signup, top up, start, with no verification interview for a normal scraping or monitoring job.
Four proxy types on one balance. HProxy sells residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile on the same pay-as-you-go balance, so a job that moves between types stays on one rate at one vendor.
Who should pick which
Pick Evomi if you steadily pull enough residential traffic to fill its $49.99 monthly plan, want the lower $0.49/GB rate that comes with it, and value a Swiss base with a compliance and ethical-sourcing story.
Pick HProxy if your usage is small, bursty, or unpredictable, or you simply do not want a subscription: a flat $0.65/GB pay as you go, a balance that never expires, no KYC, and four proxy types on one balance. For anyone not filling a monthly plan, that is usually the cheaper and simpler choice.
The mistake we see most often is a light or irregular user signing up for a monthly plan to chase a low per-GB rate, then paying the monthly fee through every quiet stretch. If that is you, the sticker price is not your real price, and HProxy's pay as you go is. If you genuinely fill a plan every month, Evomi's $0.49 is the honest winner and we will not pretend otherwise.
