NodeMaven.com vs HProxy at a glance

How much is a GB at NodeMaven?

NodeMaven prices residential traffic on two models. Monthly plans cost less per GB, and pay-as-you-go traffic never expires. Both include its mobile IPs on the same balance.

Each price sits beside a struck-through list price 25% higher, marked -20%. We read the 20 GB and 40 GB rows, the $8.50 plan for 2 GB and the $2.20 floor on October 22, 2026. The other rows come from its price table as we recorded it on October 12.

In practice:

• City or network targeting. Even Premium's one-GB price, $1.49/GB, sits under NodeMaven's lowest published rate, $2.20 per GB on the 1,000 GB monthly plan.
• Country-wide jobs. Lite is $0.50/GB for a single GB and $0.44/GB at 2,000 GB+, so NodeMaven's 20 GB pay-as-you-go rate comes to nine times Lite's.
• One 20 GB order. NodeMaven asks $75 on the monthly plan and $90 pay as you go, against $10 for 20 GB of Lite.
• Cashback. NodeMaven returns 5% to 10% of the traffic you use as bonus traffic. At 10%, its $2.20 rate works out to $2.00 per GB, still above Premium's $1.00/GB.

Where does unused NodeMaven traffic go?

• Pay as you go. NodeMaven's pay-as-you-go traffic never expires.
• Monthly plans. Unused traffic carries over when the plan renews. If the subscription lapses or you cancel, the traffic freezes until you subscribe again.
• Switching models. If you cancel a subscription and move to pay as you go, the remaining subscription traffic is forfeited.
• Top-ups. Extra traffic needs an active subscription and freezes with it.
• Renewals. A plan paid by card renews each month by itself. Crypto, YooMoney and MIR payments are one-off.
• HProxy. There is no plan to keep alive. Top-ups begin at $3 with crypto or $10 with a card, and our terms let a balance sit unused for as long as you like.

What does NodeMaven's quality filter do?

NodeMaven's main pitch is its IP filter. It screens residential and mobile IPs by fraud score, blacklist status and reputation before assigning them. Four modes trade cleanliness against speed and pool size: Quality, Quality + Speed, Speed and Max pool size. NodeMaven says 95% of its IPs are clean and its average success rate is 99.54%. Its terms say quality, cleanliness and success rates are not guaranteed, and we have tested neither service.

IP reputation is one signal detection systems weigh, so screening the pool targets a real problem. What to check in any provider covers how to test such claims yourself. Two NodeMaven programs pay back in bonus traffic:

• Cashback. You get 5% of the traffic you use each month, rising to 10% from 500 GB, credited on the 3rd of the next month.
• Quality guarantee. You get $1 of traffic per proxy that Pixelscan shows as blacklisted, capped at 20% of the month's usage, on plans from 2 GB.

Targeting, sessions and protocols

• Targeting. NodeMaven targets country, region, city and carrier, or a ZIP code in the United States. Lite is country-only, and Premium adds state, city, ASN network and device to the country.
• Sessions. NodeMaven's Sticky mode holds an IP for up to 24 hours, or a custom time from 1 minute. Its No rotating mode keeps one IP and waits for it when it drops. Premium sticks to one exit for 3 minutes up to 24 hours, and Lite sticks to one by session ID.
• Protocols and login. NodeMaven and HProxy both use HTTP and SOCKS5, with a password or an allowlisted IP. Premium's allowlist takes up to 150 addresses.
• UDP. In NodeMaven's docs, only its ISP proxies carry UDP. Premium sends UDP through SOCKS5 on any line where you switch it on.
• Blocked sites. NodeMaven blocks bank, payment service, education, government and news domains for legal reasons.

Refunds, trials and ID checks

• NodeMaven. Canceling stops the next payment and refunds nothing by itself. Support reviews refund requests case by case. Card payments go back to the card, and crypto payments come back in USDT only.
• HProxy. If you change your mind within 14 days, our refund policy pays back the unused balance by card or crypto, whichever you used. Traffic you consumed is not refunded.
• Trial. NodeMaven sells a $3.50 trial with 750 MB for residential and mobile, one per account. There is no HProxy trial.
• ID checks. NodeMaven's docs say sign-up needs only an email address, and its terms let it ask for identity and business documents at any time. At HProxy, sign-up involves no identity check, and ordinary purchases need no paperwork.

Reasons to choose NodeMaven

• An IP filter you can tune. Four modes trade cleanliness against speed and pool size. Neither of our pools offers one.
• US ZIP code targeting. We have no ZIP targeting in either pool.
• Bonus traffic. Cashback of 5% to 10%, and $1 of traffic per blacklisted proxy under its quality guarantee.
• A No rotating session. It keeps one IP and waits for it, for accounts tied to one address.
• Payment from Russia. It takes YooMoney and MIR.

Reasons to choose HProxy

• Every rate undercut. Lite and Premium each cost less than NodeMaven's monthly and pay-as-you-go prices.
• No subscription to manage. Nothing renews, and no traffic freezes when you stop buying.
• Refunds on request. Within 14 days, unused balance goes back by card or crypto, no reason required.
• UDP on residential. Premium passes UDP inside SOCKS5.
• Cheaper mobile GB. Our mobile proxies run $1.50/GB, below the $2.20 to $5.00 NodeMaven charges for its shared residential and mobile traffic.
• Asian and Latin American payment methods. Alipay, QRIS and Pix sit beside cards and crypto at our checkout.

Our recommendation

Pick NodeMaven if you want the provider to filter IPs for you, or need US ZIP code targeting. It also suits buyers who value bonus traffic, or who pay with YooMoney or MIR.

Go with HProxy for cheaper residential traffic that never freezes and never renews. Use Premium when you need a city, an ASN, UDP or a long session, and Lite when a country will do. For long single-identity sessions, our sticky vs rotating proxy sessions explainer covers the setup.

Start with the free tools

Our proxy checker costs nothing and shows whether a tool's proxy settings work. The live free proxy list has free addresses to test with. NodeMaven also appears in our market-wide ranking, cheapest residential proxies in 2026. If you buy, residential costs $0.50 for a single GB. Our ISP and datacenter rates are on full pricing.

What this page could not check

• Nothing measured. No proxy from either service was tested here, ours included, so speed, success rates, clean rates and blocks stay unmeasured.
• Quality claims. The pool size, clean rate and success rate are NodeMaven's own figures, and HProxy publishes no such numbers.
• Part of the price table. The 2 GB pay-as-you-go, 100 GB and 1,000 GB rows come from our October 12 read of NodeMaven's price table.
• Offers we did not try. We did not claim cashback or the quality guarantee, or ask for custom pricing.
• Recheck date. NodeMaven can change prices or terms at any time, so read this again after December 22, 2026.
