Leaving Proxys: the numbers side by side

Looking past Proxys? Match the units, find the expiry clause, then measure success rate on your own target. This page covers all three.

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

A proxy provider is not a product you can evaluate from a screenshot. It is a network, and networks age. What was true about Proxys a year ago may be wrong today, which is why the last section is a test rather than a verdict.

Everything we can stand behind

Proxys trades at proxys.io. They compete with us as a proxy provider.

We price the providers we can source and date, and Proxys is not currently one of them. The rest of this page is about what to check when you read their pricing yourself.

The four figures worth copying down are the rate without a commitment, the smallest purchase allowed, what happens to unspent balance, and whether a failed request still costs money.

The site, as it reads today

Their homepage title, read on 9 September 2026: "Купить анонимные прокси по выгодным ценам. Недорогие индивидуальные и приватные прокси-сервера". Their own summary of the product runs: "Платные прокси , это отличное решение для тех, кто привык экономить свое время и пользоваться только лучшими сервисами. Прокси от PROXYS.IO , это образец надежности и стабильности."

Taken from the same page, on the same day:

The product lines named on that page are SOCKS5 and IPv6. Payment methods mentioned: crypto, Alipay 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.

Every line above is a quotation from their marketing rather than a measurement by us. It is included because it is checkable, not because it is evidence of performance.

How long Proxys has been trading

The domain was registered on 30 July 2016, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 10 years old. Checked against the registry on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from August 2016. The registration currently runs to 30 July 2026.

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 our crawl found

A crawl of 475 pages on 19 June 2026 returned 145 blog 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.

How active Proxys still is

Our crawl of their site found 475 pages carrying a date, 145 of them articles. The oldest is from January 2025 and the newest from April 2025.

A site that has not been touched in a year is a signal, not a verdict. It can mean a stable product with nothing to announce, or a company that has stopped. The way to tell them apart is to ask them.

What you still do not know after reading their site

Advertised rate against the rate you reach

Divide what you spent in a month by what you actually used, and you have the only rate worth quoting. It usually sits well above the figure on the homepage, because tiers, minimums and unused allocation all sit between the two.

Who else is using your address

Ask how many accounts can sit on one address at once. Where the answer is unlimited or unspecified, price the plan as shared regardless of what the product is called.

Ask whether failed requests are billed

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.

The two of us, on the questions that matter

Six questions, both answers, and an honest blank where we do not hold a current figure:

The useful part of that table is the left column. Take those six questions to any provider in this market and the answers will sort them faster than any review.

What to do instead of reading more comparisons

The steps below take about ten minutes and settle the question properly.

  1. Put a few dollars on each account. Trials are fine for a first look, but paid traffic is what you will actually be buying.
  2. Run them against the site you actually care about, using the code you actually run, within the same hour.
  3. Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
  4. Take a handful of the addresses you were given and verify their country and type against a checker you do not control.
  5. Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.

Comparable providers

We hold the same record for these, and the same honest limits apply to each:

Our own position

Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance never expires, there is no minimum commitment and no sales call, and city and ISP targeting are included. We publish our free side openly, 129,131,311 verification checks and counting, because a network that is confident has no reason to fear measurement.

Frequently asked questions

What does Proxys advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for Proxys, 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 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.
Do I have to talk to sales or sign a contract to switch?
Not with us. You can sign up, add funds and send traffic without a call, a minimum or a subscription. Whether another provider requires any of those is on their own pricing page and is worth reading, because a required commitment is part of the price even when it is not part of the rate.
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.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.

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.
