Proxy Spider alternatives on price, pool and commitment

A Proxy Spider alternative, judged by a competitor who says so up front: the record we hold, the gaps in it, and the test that outranks this page.

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.

Residential proxies

You can settle this yourself for less than the price of lunch. That is the argument of this page, and the sections before the test exist to tell you what to measure once you start.

The record we hold

Proxy Spider operates from proxy-spider.com.

What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for Proxy Spider. Rather than print a figure we cannot stand behind, this page leaves it out and tells you what to look for when you read their page yourself.

Read their page for the reachable rate rather than the headline, the minimum spend, the expiry clause and the billing treatment of blocked requests. Write down the date, because all four move.

What is on their front page

As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "Buy the best Rotating Private Worldwide proxy". Written for search engines, their description says: "The best Rotating Proxies (pool 50k+ IPs) with instant access and unlimited bandwidth. Proxy for SERP, Scrapers, SEO, Social Networks"

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

The product lines named on that page are residential. Payment methods mentioned: PayPal, crypto and cards. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. 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 10 May 2014, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 12 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 10 May 2027.

Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.

What they have built around the product

We crawled 100 pages of their site and found 1 pricing page and 51 location pages.

Read it as a map of what they emphasise. It is our count, from our crawler, on the date shown, and it is the only figure on this page that neither of us can dispute.

What the timestamps show

Our crawl of their site found 100 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from August 2023 and the newest from September 2023.

Nothing on that site has been dated in over a year. That is not proof of a shutdown, and it is the pattern a business winding down leaves behind. Ask about roadmap and support response before committing volume.

The parts no marketing page answers

Ten million addresses, and none of them yours

Nobody audits pool totals in this market, and the counting rules differ between vendors. Even an accurate figure describes addresses that exist, not addresses you will be routed through. Treat it as a marketing unit rather than a capability.

The entry price is not the effective price

A starting rate is a marketing number. What you pay depends on the tier your volume lands in, the minimum purchase, and what happens to traffic you bought and did not use. An expiring balance quietly raises the price of every unit you did consume.

Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling

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

The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:

Two notes on that table. The rows we left for you to check are not evasions: those terms change, and printing a stale figure is exactly the failure this page is trying to avoid. And no table can hold the number that should decide your purchase, which is the success rate on your own target.

A test worth more than this comparison

Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.

  1. 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.
  2. Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
  3. Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
  4. Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
  5. 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:

Our side of it

HProxy is pay as you go from $0.44 per GB on residential, with ISP, mobile and datacenter under one balance and no commitment attached to any of them. Run the test. If we lose on your target, we lose, and you have your answer.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a Proxy Spider alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
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.
