Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Mobile proxies

If you are comparing OnlineProxy against anything else, the first thing to fix is units. A per-gigabyte rate against a per-address rate is not a comparison, and half the mobile proxy provider market prices in a different unit to the other half.

Everything we can stand behind

Their site is onlineproxy.io. Category, as we track it: mobile proxy provider.

We have no verified current rate for OnlineProxy on file. Printing a guess would make this page worse than useless, so the price row below is empty and the reading list is not.

Find the rate available with no commitment, then find the cheapest rate and what it costs to reach. The distance between those two tells you what kind of vendor you are dealing with.

The site, as it reads today

On 9 September 2026 the site introduced itself as "Buy Mobile Proxies: Unlimited 5G/4G/LTE Rotating IPs, OnlineProxy". The one-paragraph pitch on their own page: "Get high-speed 5G/4G/3G/LTE rotating mobile proxies. The most cost-effective solution with unlimited data and no hidden fees. Secure & reliable by OnlineProxy. Try now!"

What else that page states, without interpretation:

The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 40 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: crypto. The page offers some form of free trial. Support is advertised as around the clock.

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.

Age, and why it matters here

The domain was registered on 11 December 2021, through TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd, which makes it about 4 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from April 2023. The current registration term ends 11 December 2026.

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.

Their published surface

A crawl of 1.712 pages on 19 June 2026 returned 724 blog pages.

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 1,641 pages carrying a date, 716 of them articles. The oldest is from October 2024 and the newest from August 2026. 927 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.

What you still do not know after reading their site

The entry price is not the effective price

Rates in this market are quoted from the bottom of the table. The relevant question is which row you land on at your volume, and whether reaching a cheaper row costs more in commitment than it saves per unit.

What happens at the end of the month

This single term separates cheap providers from providers that look cheap. If a plan resets at month end, your effective rate is the plan price divided by what you actually used. Ours does not expire, which is easy to say and easy to verify in the terms.

What the lowest rate actually costs

Treat a required call with a salesperson as a cost. It delays the work, it usually arrives with an annual term attached, and it exists because the published price is negotiable in one direction only.

The two of us, on the questions that matter

Here are the comparisons that survive contact with a real workload:

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.

  1. Fund both accounts with the least money each will accept, and note what that minimum was, because it is part of the comparison.
  2. Aim both at the page that matters to you rather than a test endpoint, and keep every other variable fixed.
  3. Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
  4. Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
  5. Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.

Comparable providers

We hold the same record for these, and the same honest limits apply to each:

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is a cheaper provider usually worse?
Not reliably. Price in this market reflects the supply model and the sales overhead as much as the network. What price does not tell you is the success rate on your target, and that is the figure that decides whether the cheaper option was cheap or expensive. Measure before assuming either way.
How is HProxy different?
The models differ more than the products do. HProxy is pay as you go from a balance you top up when you want, the balance does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB with city and ISP targeting included. Whether that beats a tiered plan depends on your usage pattern, which a short test settles.
Do I have to talk to sales or sign a contract to switch?
Not with us. You can sign up, add funds and send traffic without a call, a minimum or a subscription. Whether another provider requires any of those is on their own pricing page and is worth reading, because a required commitment is part of the price even when it is not part of the rate.
How often should I re-test a provider?
Quarterly is a reasonable rhythm for most workloads, and immediately after a noticeable drop in success rate. Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves, so a benchmark from last year describes a network that no longer exists.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
