Before anything about Kameleo: pool totals, uptime badges and country counts predict almost nothing about your result. What predicts it is a measured success rate on your own target, and that measurement costs a few dollars.
What we can and cannot tell you about Kameleo
The domain is kameleo.com.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for Kameleo recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
Read their page for the reachable rate rather than the headline, the minimum spend, the expiry clause and the billing treatment of blocked requests. Write down the date, because all four move.
What Kameleo says about itself today
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "Kameleo Comics-Home of Great Comics and Comic Art Resources".
Taken from the same page, on the same day:
We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
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.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 21 July 1999, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 27 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 23 April 2026. Their registration is booked through 2 July 2027.
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.
The questions Kameleo gets asked
The Keyword Planner puts brand demand at 80 a month: 30 a month for an alternative to them, 30 a month for their pricing and 20 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
Weighted towards people looking for a way out. A comparison that ignores that and opens with a pitch has misread the room.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Every provider works when nothing is wrong. The difference shows up on the day a subnet gets flagged or a gateway stops answering. Before committing volume, send one real question through the support channel and time the reply.
Why an old benchmark is wrong
Supply changes hands quietly in this industry. The network behind a brand can be replaced with no announcement, which is why a benchmark is a perishable good and a re-test is cheap insurance.
Who pays for the requests that fail
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
What separates them, in a table
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Kameleo | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Check the current terms, this one moves | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Not published clearly, ask before paying | None |
| Identity checks | On their own terms page | 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 |
Blanks in that table are deliberate. We print what we read and date it, and leave the rest empty rather than repeating something we cannot stand behind.
A test worth more than this comparison
Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.
- 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.
- Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Omegaproxy alternatives
- onesproxy.com alternatives
- OneVPN alternatives
- Openproxylist alternatives
- Overplay alternatives
- Owlproxy alternatives
Where HProxy sits in that test
We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.
