Every proxy provider page, ours included, is built from advertised prices and claimed pool sizes. Those two materials cannot tell you what you actually need to know, so this page spends most of its length on what they leave out.
Everything we can stand behind
LinkCentre trades at linkcentre.com.
There is no price in this comparison because we do not have one we can date and attribute. What follows instead is the set of questions that decide the cost once you do read their page.
Check the reachable rate, the minimum, the expiry terms and the failure billing, and date your note. A price without those four attached is not a price.
LinkCentre in its own words
Their homepage title, read on 9 September 2026: "LinkCentre - Web Directory Since 1996". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Search 1M+ verified website listings across 50,000+ categories. Read real reviews, compare ratings and get contact details. Trusted since 1996."
Also on the page, stated plainly:
Their pricing page is titled "Pricing Plans, LinkCentre - Get Your Business Listed".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
How far back the record goes
The domain was registered on 6 August 1996, through 123-Reg Limited, which makes it about 30 years old. The lookup behind those dates ran on 9 September 2026. As things stand the domain is held to 5 August 2034.
None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.
What our crawl found
Our own crawl reached 50.000 of their pages. The mix was 74 blog pages and 1 use-case page.
Site size is a signal about marketing budget rather than network quality, and the two are frequently unrelated. It is useful for a different reason: a provider with many pricing pages is usually segmenting hard, and a provider with none is selling by quotation.
Whether anyone is still working on it
Our crawl of their site found 50,000 pages carrying a date, 74 of them articles. The oldest is from January 2020 and the newest from August 2026. 49,994 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Timestamps are not quality, and a company still publishing is at least a company still trading. That is worth more than it sounds in a market where providers disappear without notice.
The questions behind the numbers
Networks age, so re-test quarterly
Every review of this market, this one included, is a photograph of a moving thing. Read the date on any comparison you find, and discount it heavily once it is more than a few months old.
The reputation you inherit
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.
The line item hidden in the success rate
Some vendors bill every request, some bill only successful ones, and the difference is the whole comparison once a target starts blocking. A cheap rate with a fifty percent success rate is twice its advertised price.
The comparison, honestly framed
Compare on these rows and ignore the feature lists on both sites:
| Question to ask | LinkCentre | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Their terms page answers this | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | None |
| Identity checks | Read their current terms | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | On their own terms page | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
A table like this can rank the things that are written down. It cannot rank the thing that matters most, which is how the network behaves against the site you care about.
The test that beats this page
It is a small amount of money for an answer that is actually about your target.
- Take the smallest paid unit each provider will sell you. A free trial works for a first pass, though trials sometimes ride better pools than paid plans do.
- Fire the same batch through both on one afternoon. Different days are different conditions, and that ruins the comparison.
- Write down two numbers per provider: the share of requests that succeeded, and the traffic it cost.
- Take a handful of the addresses you were given and verify their country and type against a checker you do not control.
- Choose on the measurement, not the marketing, and expect the answer to change within a year.

Where we fit
For completeness: residential from $0.44 per GB, city and ISP targeting included, no monthly minimum, and a balance that stays where you left it. We are a good fit for uneven workloads and a poor one for anybody who wants a signed enterprise agreement.
