Leaving ProxyBunker: the numbers side by side

Weighing up ProxyBunker? What is actually published, what it does not tell you, and how to settle the decision on your own target for a few dollars.

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

The answer to "what should I use instead of ProxyBunker" depends entirely on why you are leaving. Price, a commitment, a country, a support experience and a blocked target all point at different replacements.

What is on file for ProxyBunker

Their site is proxybunker.com.

There is no price in this comparison because we do not have one we can date and attribute. What follows instead is the set of questions that decide the cost once you do read their page.

Check the reachable rate, the minimum, the expiry terms and the failure billing, and date your note. A price without those four attached is not a price.

How far back the record goes

The domain was registered on 23 February 2022, through Dynadot Inc, which makes it about 4 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 10 snapshots of the site, the earliest from February 2008. The current registration term ends 23 February 2027.

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.

What people actually search about ProxyBunker

Worldwide, the brand carries about 10 searches a month: 10 a month for an alternative to them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.

The largest share is people looking for a way out, which is the honest starting point for a page like this one.

The questions behind the numbers

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.

What happens at the end of the month

Find out whether unspent traffic rolls over, expires, or expires only on some plans. The answer changes the effective rate by more than most of the price differences buyers spend their time arguing about.

What the lowest rate actually costs

The lowest published rate in this market usually sits behind a monthly commitment measured in thousands. Quoting it beside a pay as you go rate is not a comparison. Compare the rate you can reach today.

The comparison, honestly framed

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

Where a cell points you at their terms, that is because the answer moves and a stale quotation would be worse than none. The missing row, in every table of this kind, is the one only your own measurement can fill.

The measurement that outranks every review

This costs less than a coffee and produces the only evidence that applies to your workload.

  1. Take the smallest paid unit each provider will sell you. A free trial works for a first pass, though trials sometimes ride better pools than paid plans do.
  2. Fire the same batch through both on one afternoon. Different days are different conditions, and that ruins the comparison.
  3. Write down two numbers per provider: the share of requests that succeeded, and the traffic it cost.
  4. Take a handful of the addresses you were given and verify their country and type against a checker you do not control.
  5. Go with whichever performed, then measure again next quarter. Networks change underneath you.

Comparable providers

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

What we sell, stated plainly

If you want our side of it: $0.44 per GB for residential, pay as you go, nothing expires, and the free tools stay free. We would rather you measured than believed us, which is why the test comes before this paragraph rather than after it.

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.
