Nothing here is a hit piece. ProxyBroker (OSS tool) has customers who are well served by it, and this page says which ones. It also says where we think the model costs a buyer money.
The record we hold
The domain is github.com. They are filed here as a proxy provider.
ProxyBroker (OSS tool) 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.
Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.
How ProxyBroker (OSS tool) presents itself
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "GitHub · Change is constant. GitHub keeps you ahead. · GitHub". The one-paragraph pitch on their own page: "Join the world's most widely adopted, AI-powered developer platform where millions of developers, businesses, and the largest open source community build software that advances humanity."
Also on the page, stated plainly:
Support is advertised as around the clock. Their pricing page is titled "Pricing · Plans for every developer · GitHub".
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 9 October 2007, through MarkMonitor Inc, which makes it about 18 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 9 September 2026. Their registration is booked through 9 October 2028.
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 parts no marketing page answers
The expiry question
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.
Why a cheap address is often a used one
Ask how many accounts can sit on one address at once. Where the answer is unlimited or unspecified, price the plan as shared regardless of what the product is called.
Who pays for the requests that fail
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.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:
| Question to ask | ProxyBroker (OSS tool) | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | On their own terms page | 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 |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
How to settle it yourself in ten minutes
For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.
- 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.
- Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
- Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
- Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.

Our side of it
What we offer is one account holding residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter, priced from $0.44 per GB on residential, with no tier to climb and no allocation to lose at month end. Whether that suits you depends on how steady your volume is.
