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.
What we can and cannot tell you about Proxybasic
The domain is proxybasic.com.
Proxybasic 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.
Copy down the entry rate, the commitment attached to the cheapest rate, the minimum top-up and the expiry rule. Those four turn a marketing figure into something you can compare.
How Proxybasic presents itself
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "403 Forbidden".
Also on the page, stated plainly:
We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
None of that is verified performance. It is what the vendor chose to publish, recorded with a date so you can see whether it still says the same thing.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 31 March 2026, through Porkbun LLC, which makes it about 0 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 31 March 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 the advertised numbers cannot tell you
Ten million addresses, and none of them yours
The number that matters is how many usable exits you can reach in the one country your job needs, this week. A pool total averages that away, which is why two providers with similar totals produce opposite results on the same site.
The entry price is not the effective price
Divide what you spent in a month by what you actually used, and you have the only rate worth quoting. It usually sits well above the figure on the homepage, because tiers, minimums and unused allocation all sit between the two.
Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling
A plan with generous traffic and a low thread limit is a slow plan. Find both numbers before you size anything, because the smaller of the two is your actual ceiling.
What separates them, in a table
The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:
| Question to ask | Proxybasic | 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 | Read their current terms | None |
| Identity checks | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | 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 |
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.
- 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.
- Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
- Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
- Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Shifter alternatives
- ShiftProxy alternatives
- Sigmaproxies alternatives
- Similarsites alternatives
- Similarsitesearch alternatives
- Simplynode alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
HProxy suits buyers who want to add funds, send traffic and stop thinking about it. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no commitment, nothing expiring. Buyers who need procurement paperwork and a named account manager are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say so here than waste your afternoon.
