The shortest useful answer about proxybox.io: find out what their current published rate is, find out whether your balance expires, then measure success rate on your own target. Everything below expands those three steps.
The record we hold
The company behind the name sits at proxybox.io.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for proxybox.io recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
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 proxybox.io says about itself today
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Residential proxies IPv4". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Best online proxy with high quality for you"
Also on the page, stated plainly:
The product lines named on that page are residential and SOCKS5. Payment methods mentioned: Wise or Payoneer. The page offers some form of free trial. Their pricing page is titled "Elite proxy price".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
What the registration record shows
The domain was registered on 25 June 2025, through Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU LLC, which makes it about 1 year old. Those dates come from a registry query on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 8 snapshots of the site, the earliest from September 2023. Their registration is booked through 25 June 2026.
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.
Where published figures stop being useful
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.
Shared or dedicated changes everything
A shared address arrives with a history you did not create and cannot see. For read-only work it rarely matters. For anything that keeps a session, it is the most common cause of unexplained failure.
What a blocked response costs you
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:
| Question to ask | proxybox.io | 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 | Not published clearly, ask before paying | None |
| Identity checks | On their own terms page | 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 |
Every unfilled cell above is a question to put to them directly, in writing, before money changes hands. Vendors answer those questions readily; comparison sites guess at them.
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:
- Somuch alternatives
- Sonicrun alternatives
- Space Proxies alternatives
- Spaceproxy alternatives
- Spider (ex-Mysterium) alternatives
- SpyderProxy alternatives
Where HProxy sits in that test
Our own lane is easy to state. Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance is topped up when you want and does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and city and ISP targeting are included rather than sold separately. If the test above puts us second on your target, buy the winner.
