Choosing a proxy provider on price alone is the most common and most expensive mistake in this market, because a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works. That framing runs through the whole page.
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: from $0.99 per IP with no commitment, falling to $0.89 per IP on unknown - the qualifying quantity/duration did not render (see notes).
- ISP: from $1.39 per IP with no commitment, falling to $1.35 per IP on unknown - the qualifying quantity/duration did not render (see notes).
- Mobile: from $8.49 per port with no commitment, falling to $2.83 per port on unknown duration - page only says 'The longer duration you choose, the better discount you get: up to 15% off'.
- Residential: from $4.99 per GB with no commitment, falling to $3.49 per GB on NONE - and no purchasable tier matches this price (see notes).
Every one of those is a published rate rather than a measured outcome. That is not a criticism of MarsProxies: 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
On 9 September 2026 the site introduced itself as "MarsProxies - Premium Proxy Service Provider". Written for search engines, their description says: "Secure your online activities with Mars Proxies , the trusted proxy service provider offering fast, reliable, and anonymous browsing. Get started today!"
Taken from the same page, on the same day:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 195 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: cards. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Buy Premium Proxies (Full Pricing), MarsProxies".
Every line above is a quotation from their marketing rather than a measurement by us. It is included because it is checkable, not because it is evidence of performance.
How long MarsProxies has been trading
The domain was registered on 11 January 2020, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 6 years old. The lookup behind those dates ran on 23 April 2026. As things stand the domain is held to 11 January 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.
Their published surface
A crawl of 7.958 pages on 18 June 2026 returned 221 blog pages, 6 pricing pages, 23 use-case pages and 33 integration 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 buyers type into Google about them
Search volume around the name runs to 30 a month, split as 30 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.
At up to $9.02 a click, these are expensive words. Worth remembering when a review ranks first and happens to recommend whoever pays the most.
What a pricing page leaves out
Why 195 countries tells you nothing
Ask for the pool size in your country rather than in total, and expect the answer to be vague. Where it is not published, the ten minute test at the end of this page settles it for a few dollars.
Per gigabyte against per address
Residential is normally billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, mobile per day or per port. Setting one against another produces a number that means nothing. Convert both sides into the unit your own workload consumes.
Concurrency limits decide 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.
The rows that decide it
Set the two side by side on the questions that decide the outcome, rather than on feature counts:
| Question to ask | MarsProxies | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Published, see above, dated 10 August 2026 | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Lower rates require one, see above | None |
| Identity checks | Read their current terms | 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 |
The useful part of that table is the left column. Take those six questions to any provider in this market and the answers will sort them faster than any review.
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.
- Choose on the measurement, not the marketing, and expect the answer to change within a year.
