Leaving ProxyFog: the numbers side by side

Comparing a ProxyFog alternative? The published numbers, the questions their pricing page leaves open, and a ten minute test that beats every review.

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

Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what ProxyFog publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.

The record we hold

The domain is proxyfog.com.

What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for ProxyFog. 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 is on their front page

On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "ProxyFog - Premium Residential & Mobile Proxies, 60M+ IPs in 195 Countries". In the description they hand to search engines: "Up to $0.15/GB for premium residential and mobile proxies with 60M+ unique IPs across 195 countries. Pay-as-you-go pricing, Fast, reliable, and secure proxy infrastructure for web scraping, market research, and ad verification."

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

The product lines named on that page are mobile. They advertise 195 countries or locations. 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.

Longevity, on the public record

The domain was registered on 19 December 2025, through Cloudflare, Inc, which makes it about 0 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. It is paid up until 19 December 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.

Where published figures stop being useful

Coverage in the one country you need

Country totals are counted generously across this whole market. A country with a handful of addresses counts the same as one with hundreds of thousands. If your work depends on one location, test that location before you switch.

The response time nobody advertises

Test the support channel before you need it. Ask something specific and technical, and judge both the speed and whether the answer came from somebody who understood the question.

Nothing here stays true for long

Every review of this market, this one included, is a photograph of a moving thing. Read the date on any comparison you find, and discount it heavily once it is more than a few months old.

A comparison that admits what it cannot say

This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:

That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.

A test worth more than this comparison

Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.

  1. Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
  2. Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
  3. Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
  4. Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
  5. Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.

Who else is in this bracket

The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:

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.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a ProxyFog alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
What does ProxyFog advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for ProxyFog, so this page does not print one. Read their own pricing page for the rate, the minimum and the commitment, and note the date you read it, because all three move.
How do I compare two providers fairly?
Match the units first, because residential is billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, and mobile per day or per port. Then compare the rate you can actually reach today rather than the volume tier behind a commitment. Finish by measuring the success rate on your own target, since a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works.
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 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.

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.
