Nothing here is a hit piece. IPBurger has customers who are well served by it, and this page says which ones. It also says where we think the model costs a buyer money.
What is on their pricing page
Read from their own public pricing pages on 10 August 2026, and stated as advertised rather than as verified by us:
- Mobile: $9.83 per GB on none, $59/month Starter plan.
- Residential: from $5.90 per GB with no commitment, falling to $4.48 per GB on Pro, $269/month for 60GB.
Every one of those is a published rate rather than a measured outcome. That is not a criticism of IPBurger: our own page is built from the same material. It is the reason the rest of this comparison is about what published rates leave out.
How IPBurger presents itself
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "IPBurger - Premium Proxy Provider - Fast, Best-in-Class Proxies". The description they publish for search engines reads: "IPBurger is a premium proxy provider: fast residential, mobile, ISP and dedicated IP proxies with 99.95% success rate. HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5. Compare plans and buy"
What else that page states, without interpretation:
The product lines named on that page are residential, ISP or static residential, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 195 countries or locations. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Buy Proxies - Pricing and Plans for All Proxy Types, IPBurger".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
What the registration record shows
The domain was registered on 4 August 2007, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 19 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 161 snapshots of the site, the earliest from October 2007. It is paid up until 4 August 2033.
Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.
Corporate history we have recorded: IPBurger still has the second most expensive floor in the audited set.
What they have built around the product
We crawled 1.372 pages of their site on 18 June 2026 and found 567 blog pages and 56 pricing pages.
That mix tells you how the company sells. Heavy location pages mean a geography-led pitch, heavy blog means a search-led one, and a single pricing page usually means one simple offer or one sales call.
The activity record
Our crawl of their site found 1,372 pages carrying a date, 567 of them articles. The oldest is from July 2022 and the newest from August 2026. 500 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
An actively maintained site is table stakes rather than a recommendation. It does rule out the failure that costs buyers the most here, which is prepaying a company that has quietly stopped.
The questions IPBurger gets asked
The Keyword Planner puts brand demand at 80 a month: 50 a month for a review of them, 20 a month for their pricing and 10 a month for an alternative to them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
Weighted towards people checking whether to trust it. A comparison that ignores that and opens with a pitch has misread the room.
The parts no marketing page answers
Who else is using your address
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 line item hidden in the success rate
Divide the spend by the successful responses, not by the requests sent. That single change reorders most price comparisons in this market, and your accounting will use it eventually anyway.
What actually caps your throughput
A plan with generous traffic and a low thread limit is a slow plan. Find both numbers before you size anything, because the smaller of the two is your actual ceiling.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:
| Question to ask | IPBurger | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Published, see above, dated 10 August 2026 | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | On their own terms page | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Lower rates require one, see above | None |
| Identity checks | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Read their current terms | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
How to settle it yourself in ten minutes
Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.
- Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
- Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
- Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
- Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
- Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Linkcentre alternatives
- Linken Sphere alternatives
- Linkideo alternatives
- Livaproxy alternatives
- Livedoor alternatives
- LiveProxies alternatives
Our side of it
What we offer is one account holding residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter, priced from $0.44 per GB on residential, with no tier to climb and no allocation to lose at month end. Whether that suits you depends on how steady your volume is.
