There are two honest ways to compare proxy providers. Read both pricing pages carefully and match the units, or run the same batch through both and count. This page does the first and tells you how to do the second.
What is on file for ProxyHat
ProxyHat trades at proxyhat.com. They compete with us as a proxy provider.
We price the providers we can source and date, and ProxyHat is not currently one of them. The rest of this page is about what to check when you read their pricing yourself.
Take down four numbers and a date: reachable rate, minimum purchase, commitment for the floor rate, and expiry period. Anything less and you cannot compare them to anyone.
ProxyHat in its own words
Their homepage title, read on 9 September 2026: "ProxyHat , Official Residential and Mobile Proxy Service with AI Filtering". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Buy residential and mobile proxies with AI IP filtering, rotating or sticky sessions, SOCKS5 & HTTP support, and geo-targeted coverage in 148+ countries."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 148 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: PayPal, crypto and cards. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Pay-As-You-Go Proxy Pricing , Residential and Mobile, ProxyHat".
Nothing there has been tested. It is a record of what the page said on the day, which is the honest limit of what a page like this can offer without a measurement.
Age, and why it matters here
The domain was registered on 9 January 2026, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 0 years old. Checked against the registry on 23 April 2026. The registration currently runs to 9 January 2027.
This proves nothing about the product. It is a cheap check against the one failure mode that costs buyers real money in this market, which is paying a provider that will not exist in six months.
What ProxyHat publishes
We crawled 1.782 pages of their site on 19 June 2026 and found 1.300 blog pages, 13 pricing pages, 166 location pages and 25 use-case pages.
The number is not a compliment or a criticism. It describes how much of their effort goes into being found, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a marketing claim against a measurement.
Whether anyone is still working on it
Our crawl of their site found 767 pages carrying a date, 650 of them articles. The oldest is from July 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 767 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Read that as a liveness check rather than a review. It says the lights are on, and nothing about whether the proxies work on your target.
What you still do not know after reading their site
Why a cheap address is often a used one
A shared address arrives with a history you did not create and cannot see. For read-only work it rarely matters. For anything that keeps a session, it is the most common cause of unexplained failure.
What a blocked response costs you
Divide the spend by the successful responses, not by the requests sent. That single change reorders most price comparisons in this market, and your accounting will use it eventually anyway.
Concurrency limits decide throughput
Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.
The two of us, on the questions that matter
Set the two side by side on the questions that decide the outcome, rather than on feature counts:
| Question to ask | ProxyHat | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Read their current terms | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Check the current terms, this one moves | None |
| Identity checks | Their terms page answers this | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Check the current terms, this one moves | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Their terms page answers this | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Six rows is enough. Longer comparison tables in this market are usually padded with features nobody chooses on, which makes them look thorough and read as noise.
The test that beats this page
It is a small amount of money for an answer that is actually about your target.
- 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.
- Fire the same batch through both on one afternoon. Different days are different conditions, and that ruins the comparison.
- Track the success rate and the bandwidth. A cheap gigabyte that fails half the time is not cheap.
- Run a sample of the addresses through an independent lookup, because advertised geography and actual geography differ more often than the market admits.
- 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:
- Anyip alternatives
- ArabProxy alternatives
- Arnproxy alternatives
- Artica Proxy alternatives
- Askmeblogger alternatives
- ASOCKS alternatives
What we sell, stated plainly
Our position is narrow. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no subscription, no expiry on the balance, and a public record of what our free network actually does. A provider unwilling to be measured is telling you something, and so is one that asks to be.
