Leaving ProxyGuys: the numbers side by side

A ProxyGuys alternative, judged by a competitor who says so up front: the record we hold, the gaps in it, and the test that outranks this page.

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

We keep a record of what providers in this market charge and what happens to them over time. This page is the part of that record covering ProxyGuys, written up for somebody deciding today.

The record we hold

The company behind the name sits at proxyguys.com.

ProxyGuys 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.

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 ProxyGuys says about itself today

Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "USA 5G Mobile Proxies, Premium Real Mobile IPs - ProxyGuys". Their own summary of the product runs: "Real USA 5G mobile proxies in 50+ US cities. 40,60 Mbps speeds, unlimited bandwidth, instant rotation. No residential, no datacenter , real mobile IPs only."

The rest of what the page puts in writing:

The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter and mobile. Payment methods mentioned: crypto and cards. Support is advertised as around the clock. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.

Those are claims, and claims are free. They earn their place here only because the date makes them checkable later.

What the registration record shows

The domain was registered on 5 July 2019, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 7 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from July 2007. It is paid up until 5 July 2028.

Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.

The questions ProxyGuys gets asked

Google reports 10 searches a month worldwide across the terms carrying this brand: 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.

Most of that demand is people checking whether to trust it. That is what this page is written for, and it is why the sections above lead with what is published rather than with a verdict.

What the advertised numbers cannot tell you

The country total, and the country you use

Almost every provider claims almost every country. What differs is depth, and depth decides whether a single city or a single carrier is usable. No published figure tells you that.

Match the units before anything else

Residential is normally billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, mobile per day or per port. Setting one against another produces a number that means nothing. Convert both sides into the unit your own workload consumes.

What happens when it breaks at two in the morning

Every provider works when nothing is wrong. The difference shows up on the day a subnet gets flagged or a gateway stops answering. Before committing volume, send one real question through the support channel and time the reply.

What separates them, in a table

The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:

Two notes on that table. The rows we left for you to check are not evasions: those terms change, and printing a stale figure is exactly the failure this page is trying to avoid. And no table can hold the number that should decide your purchase, which is the success rate on your own target.

How to settle it yourself in ten minutes

Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.

  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. Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
  4. Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
  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

HProxy is pay as you go from $0.44 per GB on residential, with ISP, mobile and datacenter under one balance and no commitment attached to any of them. Run the test. If we lose on your target, we lose, and you have your answer.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a ProxyGuys 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 ProxyGuys advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for ProxyGuys, 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 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.

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.
