This page exists because the search you ran has almost no honest results. Nearly every page ranking for "ProxyFish alternative" earns a commission on the answer it gives you. We earn money if you pick us, which we are stating in the first paragraph rather than the footer.
ProxyFish on the record
ProxyFish operates from proxyfish.com. Our classification for them is free proxy list. The last automated check bounced off a bot filter rather than reaching the page. That is ordinary here, and it appears only to explain the gap in our record.
What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for ProxyFish. 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.
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.
What ProxyFish says about itself today
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "Buy Residential, Datacenter, ISP Proxies - HTTPS & SOCKS5 Proxy, ProxyFish". Their meta description, the sentence Google shows under the link, says: "Buy fast and cheap private SOCKS and HTTP proxies. Use a dedicated proxy for instagram, facebook, sneaker sites, and to remain highly anonymous online. Free proxy list too!"
Taken from the same page, on the same day:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile and SOCKS5. Payment methods mentioned: PayPal and crypto. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
Treat all of it as advertising, because it is. Its value is that it is dated and quotable, which is more than most comparison pages offer.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 7 February 2016, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 10 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 23 April 2026. Their registration is booked through 7 February 2027.
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.
Ownership of the list
We checked this one by hand on 6 September 2026. It is a list, and we record the operator as independent. The site now sits behind a bot wall, so the list is no longer readable without solving a challenge, which for most of its former use is the same as gone. Evidence recorded: 403 to a non-browser request.
As far as we can establish it is run independently rather than by a proxy vendor. That usually means it survives on advertising, which shapes the site rather than the data.
The Internet Archive has it from 27 June 2009 to 1 May 2026, about 13 years of coverage. The domain was registered 7 February 2016 through NameCheap, Inc.
What none of that tells you is how many of the addresses answer today. We publish our own measurement of that on the free side: of 589918 addresses discovered, 4023 were alive at the last check, with a median lifespan of 145 hours. Any list without a check date is describing a past that has already gone.
The demand around this name
The Keyword Planner puts brand demand at 10 a month: 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
Weighted towards people checking whether to trust it. A comparison that ignores that and opens with a pitch has misread the room.
Where published figures stop being useful
Logging, and who can read it
A service with no stated retention period has one anyway, and it is whatever their hosting provider does by default. Absence of a policy is a policy, and usually not the one you would choose.
Why the pool number is the least useful figure
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 reputation you inherit
An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:
| Question to ask | ProxyFish | 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 | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Their terms page answers this | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Check the current terms, this one moves | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Blanks in that table are deliberate. We print what we read and date it, and leave the rest empty rather than repeating something we cannot stand behind.
The ten minute version of this decision
For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.
- Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
- Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
- 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.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
The other names that come up
Other providers in the same bracket, priced and dated the same way:
- Socks 24 alternatives
- Socks-Proxy.net alternatives
- Spys.me alternatives
- SSLProxies alternatives
- TheSpeedX PROXY-List (GitHub) alternatives
- Unblockvideos alternatives
Where HProxy sits in that test
We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.
