HProxy vs ProxyScrape.com: Residential Prices, Terms and Free Lists Compared (2026)

Compared against ProxyScrape

For residential traffic, HProxy costs less per GB than ProxyScrape at both volumes we compared, and our GB have no expiry date. ProxyScrape is still the better pick for three things: its $1 trial, its free proxy list, and its cheap shared datacenter proxies. We read ProxyScrape's own price table, terms and free-list API on October 22, 2026, and this page reports what they said. We sell residential proxies, so weigh our view with that in mind.

ProxyScrape.com vs HProxy at a glance

The fair match for ProxyScrape's residential plan is our Residential Premium: both target by city and by network (ASN), and both carry UDP over SOCKS5. Our Residential Lite is the budget pool, with country targeting only.

ProxyScrape's figures come from its price table, its pricing page and its residential page, all read on October 22, 2026. Ours come from our catalog and the product sheet in our dashboard.

What a GB of residential traffic costs

ProxyScrape prices residential traffic by bundle and by term. The table behind its order form listed 18 bundle sizes, from 1 GB to 10,000 GB, each with four terms. We compared two volumes: 10 GB, where most buyers start, and 2,000 GB, where our Lite ladder reaches its lowest rung.

Three details sit behind those bars:

• The 30-day price is the cheap one. At ProxyScrape, traffic you can keep costs more. The same 10 GB cost $28.50 for 30 days and $38 with no expiry, a third more.
• The headline needs a big order. ProxyScrape's "from $1.15 / GB" is its 5,000 GB bundle on a 30-day term, $5,750 in one payment. Its lowest rung, $1.05, is 10,000 GB for $10,500, again within 30 days.
• Small bundles break the pattern. Its 2 GB bundle ($6.80) cost less than its 1 GB bundle ($7.50) on the same term.

Our prices work the other way round. Residential Premium starts at $1.49/GB for one GB and falls to $1.00/GB at 1,000 GB+. Residential Lite starts at $0.50/GB and falls to $0.44/GB at 2,000 GB+. Neither carries a term: the balance stays on your account until you use it. Our terms set one limit on that promise. They cover the pool behind a product for 30 days from purchase. After that, the balance stays spendable whenever a compatible pool is up.

At 50 GB, Lite comes to $25. ProxyScrape's 50 GB fell between its 40 GB bundle ($106 for 30 days) and its 75 GB bundle ($187.50).

The price label and the price table

ProxyScrape's pricing page labels its residential plan "10 GB = $35.5". The price table behind its order form, read the same afternoon, listed 10 GB at $28.50 for 30 days, $30.50 for 60, $32.50 for 90 and $38 with no expiry. None of those is $35.50. We cannot see which price a buyer is charged at checkout, so check the order form before you pay. In August the same label matched a 30-day bundle, so the table has moved since.

Refunds, identity checks and payment

The two sets of terms differ more than the prices do.

• Refunds. ProxyScrape's terms make you waive the standard 14-day consumer withdrawal right. In its place they offer three days, and only if all five conditions hold: the order is not an upgrade, at most 1 GB was used, you paid by card or PayPal, the order is at most $100, and you had no refund that month. We return unused balance for 14 days under our refund policy, and keep only what was already used.
• Identity checks. ProxyScrape's terms say "KYC required" and that you may have to explain how you use the proxies and which services you will reach.
• Payment. ProxyScrape's terms name three payment processors: Coingate, Payssion and Paddle. HProxy's checkout offers card, crypto, Alipay, Pix and QRIS. Crypto starts at $3, and the others at $10.

The free lists, read at the same minute

ProxyScrape began as a free proxy list, and its page says the list "typically holds 20,000+ live proxies across 180+ countries". At 15:06 UTC on October 22, 2026, we read its public API page by page, and our own list in the same minute. We counted the two lists; we did not connect to any proxy on them.

ProxyScrape's API itself reported 90 countries, half the 180+ on its page. A second reading at 15:19 UTC gave the same picture: 3,375 proxies on 1,258 addresses in 86 countries, against our 6,205 on 4,671 addresses in 119. Two readings are still one afternoon, and a free list grows and shrinks all day. Its mix: 2,122 SOCKS5 entries, 760 HTTP and 273 SOCKS4. Its own data flagged 2,113 of its 3,155 entries as hosting addresses. Our flag marked 2,379 of our 6,376 entries as datacenter.

A free list is fine for learning, for testing a tool's settings, and for throwaway work. ProxyScrape's own FAQ names the risk: the proxies are public, "hosted by volunteers", may be "infected", and "come online and go offline constantly". Our free proxy list is checked around the clock, and our study of 129,131,311 proxy checks shows how fast free proxies die. Our guide to when free proxies are fine draws the line, and the biggest free proxy lists compares the other sources.

Where ProxyScrape is the better pick

• A paid test for a dollar. Its one-time 1 GB residential trial costs $1. We sell no trial.
• Cheap shared datacenter proxies. Its premium datacenter plan sells 1,000 proxies for $25 for 30 days. If your target accepts datacenter addresses, that is hard to beat on count.
• A plan billed by speed. Its unlimited residential plan is priced by bandwidth: its pricing page listed 200 Mbps at $933, a 7-day plan when we read its price table on September 26, 2026. A steady, very heavy job can fit that shape better than any price per GB, and we do not sell it.
• A well-known free list with a free API and a GitHub mirror, if you only need public proxies.

Where HProxy is the better pick

• Residential price per GB, at both volumes above, on residential proxies that keep no clock on your balance.
• Longer sessions. Premium holds one exit for up to 24 hours; ProxyScrape's residential sessions stop at 120 minutes.
• A longer refund window: 14 days on unused balance, against three days with five conditions.
• More ways to pay, including crypto from $3 and local methods such as Pix and QRIS.
• Four proxy types, one balance: residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile. Our guide to datacenter vs residential proxies explains when each one fits.

Who should pick which

Pick ProxyScrape for cheap shared datacenter proxies, a $1 residential test, a plan billed by speed, or its free list.

Pick HProxy for residential traffic at a lower price per GB with no term on it. Take Premium when you need city or network targeting, UDP or long sticky sessions. Take Lite for country-level work at $0.50/GB per GB.

Limits of this comparison

• No proxy tests. Beyond reading both free-list APIs, we contacted no proxy, theirs or ours. Speed, success rates and blocks are not measured.
• Pool sizes. ProxyScrape's pool figures are its own claims. We make none about ours.
• One afternoon. Prices, labels and terms change without notice. ProxyScrape's price table changed between our reads of August 3, September 26 and October 22, 2026.
• Two readings of each free list. The counts come from 13 minutes of one afternoon, and both lists move all day.
• Refund cases. Our wording follows our public refund page; our support answers each case.
