A proxy provider comparison is only as good as its dates. Prices, pools and policies all move, so every number below carries the day it was read, and anything we could not read is marked as unverified rather than filled in.
The published numbers
Read from their own public pricing pages on 10 August 2026, and stated as advertised rather than as verified by us:
- Datacenter: $4.99 per IP on stated as '/mo' with no quantity condition given.
- ISP: from $6.39 per IP on none - 1 IP for 30 days.
- Mobile: from $6.99 per GB with no commitment, falling to $2.79 per GB on 1,000 GB package, $2799 prepaid, 180-day validity.
- Residential: from $5.99 per GB with no commitment, falling to $1.99 per GB on 1,000 GB package, $1999 prepaid, 180-day validity.
Every one of those is a published rate rather than a measured outcome. That is not a criticism of IPFoxy: 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.
The site, as it reads today
Their homepage title, read on 9 September 2026: "IPFoxy: The Best Enterprise-Grade International Proxy Service Provider". Written for search engines, their description says: "IPFoxy offers reliable residential proxy services to enterprises worldwide, providing both static and rotating dedicated proxy to meet all your networking needs."
What else that page states, without interpretation:
The product lines named on that page are residential, ISP or static residential, mobile, SOCKS5 and IPv6. They advertise 200 countries or locations. The page offers some form of free trial. Their pricing page is titled "Buy Rotating and Residential Proxy,Datacenter proxy,with a free trial".
Nothing there has been tested. It is a record of what the page said on the day, which is the honest limit of what a page like this can offer without a measurement.
How long IPFoxy has been trading
The domain was registered on 9 November 2022, through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn), which makes it about 3 years old. Checked against the registry on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from April 2008. The registration currently runs to 9 November 2027.
This proves nothing about the product. It is a cheap check against the one failure mode that costs buyers real money in this market, which is paying a provider that will not exist in six months.
On the record about the company itself: No legal entity disclosed anywhere on the site.
What our crawl found
A crawl of 201 pages returned 5 pricing pages and 33 use-case pages.
The number is not a compliment or a criticism. It describes how much of their effort goes into being found, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a marketing claim against a measurement.
What the search data says about IPFoxy
Search volume around the name runs to 10 a month, split as 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
The biggest slice is people checking whether to trust it, so the useful thing to hand a reader is evidence rather than an opinion.
What you still do not know after reading their site
Advertised rate against the rate you reach
Divide what you spent in a month by what you actually used, and you have the only rate worth quoting. It usually sits well above the figure on the homepage, because tiers, minimums and unused allocation all sit between the two.
Who else is using your address
Ask how many accounts can sit on one address at once. Where the answer is unlimited or unspecified, price the plan as shared regardless of what the product is called.
Ask whether failed requests are billed
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.
The two of us, on the questions that matter
Six questions, both answers, and an honest blank where we do not hold a current figure:
| Question to ask | IPFoxy | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Published, see above, dated 10 August 2026 | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Their terms page answers this | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Lower rates require one, see above | None |
| Identity checks | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Read their current terms | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Read the table as a list of questions rather than a scoreboard. The answers on their side move, and the row that decides the outcome, success rate on your target, is not printable by anyone.
The test that beats this page
It is a small amount of money for an answer that is actually about your target.
- Put a few dollars on each account. Trials are fine for a first look, but paid traffic is what you will actually be buying.
- Run them against the site you actually care about, using the code you actually run, within the same hour.
- Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
- Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
- 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:
- Proxy Cheap alternatives
- Proxy-Hub alternatives
- Proxy Ipv4 alternatives
- Proxy-Man alternatives
- Proxy Marketplace alternatives
- Proxy-N-VPN alternatives
Our own position
Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance never expires, there is no minimum commitment and no sales call, and city and ISP targeting are included. We publish our free side openly, 129,131,311 verification checks and counting, because a network that is confident has no reason to fear measurement.
