Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what MagneticProxy publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.
MagneticProxy on the record
MagneticProxy operates from magneticproxy.com.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for MagneticProxy recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.
What is on their front page
Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "Reliable Rotating Residential Proxies, MagneticProxy". In the description they hand to search engines: "Stop fighting IP bans. Fuel your B2B infrastructure with a rotating residential proxy network built for absolute stealth and high-speed data extraction."
Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter and SOCKS5. Their pricing page is titled "Magnetic Proxy, Pricing".
Those are claims, and claims are free. They earn their place here only because the date makes them checkable later.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 9 January 2023, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 3 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 9 January 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.
How much site there is
A crawl of 60 pages on 19 June 2026 returned 19 blog pages, 1 pricing page and 7 use-case 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.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Test the support channel before you need it. Ask something specific and technical, and judge both the speed and whether the answer came from somebody who understood the question.
Why an old benchmark is wrong
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.
What actually caps your throughput
Bandwidth is rarely the constraint on a real workload. Concurrent connections, requests per second and per-session caps are, and they are frequently buried in the documentation rather than the pricing page.
What separates them, in a table
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | MagneticProxy | 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 |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
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.
Others in this market
Nearest alternatives by product shape rather than by who pays us, since nobody does:
- Ukproxyserver alternatives
- Unblock-Websites alternatives
- Undetectable.io alternatives
- UnknownProxies alternatives
- UpRock alternatives
- Use Apify 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.
