Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what Megaproxy publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.
What we can and cannot tell you about Megaproxy
The company behind the name sits at megaproxy.com.
Megaproxy is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
Look for the tier you would actually land in, not the one at the bottom of the table, and find the expiry and failed-request clauses before the rate impresses you.
What Megaproxy says about itself today
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Megaproxy® Anonymous proxy - Secure web surfing, private Internet service". Written for search engines, their description says: "Megaproxy® offers free, secure anonymous web proxy and reliable Web SSL VPN service. Enjoy encrypted Internet browsing and surf web privately"
Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:
The page offers some form of free trial. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 20 November 2000, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 25 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from March 2001. It is paid up until 20 November 2026.
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 Megaproxy gets asked
The Keyword Planner puts brand demand at 20 a month: 10 a month for an alternative to them and 10 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.
The parts no marketing page answers
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.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Megaproxy | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | On their own terms page | 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.
- Open an account on each and add the smallest amount they take. Skip the trial if a paid unit is cheap enough to buy outright.
- Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
- Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
- Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Proxying alternatives
- ProxyJet alternatives
- ProxyLand alternatives
- ProxyLine alternatives
- ProxyList.to alternatives
- Proxylister alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
We are the pay as you go option in this market. Residential from $0.44 per GB, ISP and datacenter per address, mobile alongside them, all from one balance with nothing to forfeit. That model wins on irregular volume and loses on very large steady volume, which is worth knowing before you test.
