The answer to "what should I use instead of ProxyMist" depends entirely on why you are leaving. Price, a commitment, a country, a support experience and a blocked target all point at different replacements.
Everything we can stand behind
You will find them at proxymist.com. In our own records they sit in the free proxy list category.
We have no verified current rate for ProxyMist on file. Printing a guess would make this page worse than useless, so the price row below is empty and the reading list is not.
Check the reachable rate, the minimum, the expiry terms and the failure billing, and date your note. A price without those four attached is not a price.
Their own description, read this week
The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "Free Proxy Lists - ProxyMist".
Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:
The product lines named on that page are SOCKS5. 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.
How long ProxyMist has been trading
The domain was registered on 5 March 2024, through Internet Domain Service BS Corp, which makes it about 2 years old. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026. The registration currently runs to 5 March 2027.
None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.
What our crawl found
We crawled 7.460 pages of their site on 19 June 2026 and found 10 blog pages.
Site size is a signal about marketing budget rather than network quality, and the two are frequently unrelated. It is useful for a different reason: a provider with many pricing pages is usually segmenting hard, and a provider with none is selling by quotation.
How active ProxyMist still is
Our crawl of their site found 7,460 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from December 2024 and the newest from July 2026. 2,810 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Timestamps are not quality, and a company still publishing is at least a company still trading. That is worth more than it sounds in a market where providers disappear without notice.
What you still do not know after reading their site
Networks age, so re-test quarterly
Supply changes hands quietly in this industry. The network behind a brand can be replaced with no announcement, which is why a benchmark is a perishable good and a re-test is cheap insurance.
Ten million addresses, and none of them yours
Claims of ten million, one hundred million or more say nothing about whether your requests get through this week. Your job meets the handful of exits it draws, in your countries, against one target. Rotation policy and freshness move that outcome far more than the headline total.
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.
The two of us, on the questions that matter
Here are the comparisons that survive contact with a real workload:
| Question to ask | ProxyMist | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Not published clearly, ask before paying | 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 |
Where a cell points you at their terms, that is because the answer moves and a stale quotation would be worse than none. The missing row, in every table of this kind, is the one only your own measurement can fill.
The measurement that outranks every review
This costs less than a coffee and produces the only evidence that applies to your workload.
- Fund both accounts with the least money each will accept, and note what that minimum was, because it is part of the comparison.
- Aim both at the page that matters to you rather than a test endpoint, and keep every other variable fixed.
- Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
- Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
- Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.
Where else buyers look
If this one does not fit, these are the nearest comparable providers we have written up, each on the same terms as this page.
- Hideoxy alternatives
- iplocate/free-proxy-list alternatives
- Live Socks alternatives
- monosans proxy-list (GitHub) alternatives
- My-Proxy alternatives
- NNTime alternatives
Where we fit
For completeness: residential from $0.44 per GB, city and ISP targeting included, no monthly minimum, and a balance that stays where you left it. We are a good fit for uneven workloads and a poor one for anybody who wants a signed enterprise agreement.
