People arrive at a proxy provider comparison for one of two reasons: the price moved, or the thing stopped working. This page assumes you are in one of those two positions with ProxySocks5 and wants to be useful in ten minutes rather than impressive in thirty.
ProxySocks5 on the record
The domain is proxysocks5.com. They are filed here as a proxy provider.
What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for ProxySocks5. Rather than print a figure we cannot stand behind, this page leaves it out and tells you what to look for when you read their page yourself.
Copy down the entry rate, the commitment attached to the cheapest rate, the minimum top-up and the expiry rule. Those four turn a marketing figure into something you can compare.
What is on their front page
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "Residential, Dedicated, SOCKS5, PROXY and VPN, ProxySocks5". Written for search engines, their description says: "Cheap, Fast, Secured, Static IP. Residential SOCKS5, Residential PROXY, Residential ShadowSocks, Residential VPN, Dedicated SOCKS5 and HTTP PROXY, ShadowSocks"
Taken from the same page, on the same day:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile and SOCKS5. Payment methods mentioned: PayPal and crypto. Support is advertised as around the clock. Their pricing page is titled "Cheap prices to buy the best proxies and VPNs, ProxySocks5".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 14 August 2019, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 7 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 14 August 2031.
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.
How much site there is
We crawled 825 pages of their site on 19 June 2026 and found 106 blog pages, 1 pricing page, 64 location pages and 9 use-case pages.
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 demand around this name
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.
The parts no marketing page answers
The country total, and the country you use
Country totals are counted generously across this whole market. A country with a handful of addresses counts the same as one with hundreds of thousands. If your work depends on one location, test that location before you switch.
Match the units before anything else
Work out what your job actually consumes, in gigabytes or in concurrent addresses, before you look at any price. Without that number, no two quotations in this market can be compared at all.
Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling
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.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:
| Question to ask | ProxySocks5 | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | On their own terms page | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Read their current terms | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
We would rather show an incomplete table than a confident wrong one. Anything we could not source is left for you to read at the source, with the date you read it.
A test worth more than this comparison
Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.
- Open an account on each and add the smallest amount they take. Skip the trial if a paid unit is cheap enough to buy outright.
- Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
- Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
- Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
The other names that come up

- Lemonclub alternatives
- LightningProxies alternatives
- Linkcentre alternatives
- Linken Sphere alternatives
- Linkideo alternatives
- Livaproxy alternatives
Where HProxy sits in that test
Our own lane is easy to state. Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance is topped up when you want and does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and city and ISP targeting are included rather than sold separately. If the test above puts us second on your target, buy the winner.
