ProxyGen sits in a market where the advertised number and the number you pay are frequently different, because tiers, minimums and expiry all sit between them. Untangling that is most of the work here.
What we can and cannot tell you about ProxyGen
The company behind the name sits at proxygen.io. We carry them as a proxy provider.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for ProxyGen recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
Note the price, the unit it is quoted in, the minimum, and the expiry. Unit and expiry are where most comparisons in this market quietly go wrong.
What is on their front page
Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "ProxyGen · Premium Residential, Mobile and ISP Proxies (195+ Countries)". In the description they hand to search engines: "Premium residential, mobile, static ISP and datacenter proxies covering 195+ countries. Sticky sessions, instant setup, pay-as-you-go from $1.19/GB. 99.9% uptime."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 195 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: crypto. The page offers some form of free trial. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Pricing · Bandwidth from $1.19/GB, ProxyGen".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
What they have built around the product
We crawled 98 pages of their site and found 27 blog pages and 1 pricing page.
Read it as a map of what they emphasise. It is our count, from our crawler, on the date shown, and it is the only figure on this page that neither of us can dispute.
The activity record
Our crawl of their site found 98 pages carrying a date, 27 of them articles. The oldest is from February 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 98 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Recent dates prove somebody is still at the keyboard. They prove nothing about the network, which is what the test at the end of this page is for.
Where published figures stop being useful
The country total, and the country you use
Ask for the pool size in your country rather than in total, and expect the answer to be vague. Where it is not published, the ten minute test at the end of this page settles it for a few dollars.
Match the units before anything else
Half this market prices bandwidth and half prices addresses. A per-address plan is cheap for heavy traffic through few exits and ruinous for light traffic through many, and the reverse holds for per-gigabyte plans.
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Support quality is invisible until it is the only thing that matters. A cheap provider that takes three days to answer a routing problem has cost you more than the saving, and no pricing page reveals that.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:
| Question to ask | ProxyGen | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Check the current terms, this one moves | 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 | 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.
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.
- Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
- Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
- 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:
- 911Proxy alternatives
- 9Proxy alternatives
- A20 alternatives
- Abcproxy alternatives
- Abnewswire alternatives
- Aboutus alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
HProxy suits buyers who want to add funds, send traffic and stop thinking about it. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no commitment, nothing expiring. Buyers who need procurement paperwork and a named account manager are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say so here than waste your afternoon.
