Comparing a ProxySwag alternative? The published numbers, the questions their pricing page leaves open, and a ten minute test that beats every review.

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 comparison written by a competitor is worth reading only if it says where the competitor loses. That rule shapes this page about ProxySwag, and the last section names the reader who should stay put.

ProxySwag on the record

ProxySwag operates from proxyswag.com.

What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for ProxySwag. 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 "ProxySwag, Premium Quality Proxies". Written for search engines, their description says: "ProxySwag offers clean, dedicated and true static residential ISP proxies at an excellent price across multiple geolocations"

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

The product lines named on that page are residential, ISP or static residential and SOCKS5. Payment methods mentioned: crypto and cards. The page offers some form of free trial. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.

All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.

Longevity, on the public record

The domain was registered on 10 April 2023, through Dynadot Inc, which makes it about 3 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 23 April 2026. Their registration is booked through 10 April 2027.

Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.

The shape of their site

A crawl of 63 pages returned 4 location pages and 43 use-case pages.

That mix tells you how the company sells. Heavy location pages mean a geography-led pitch, heavy blog means a search-led one, and a single pricing page usually means one simple offer or one sales call.

Where published figures stop being useful

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.

The line item hidden in the success rate

On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.

What actually caps your throughput

Bandwidth is rarely the constraint on a real workload. Concurrent connections, requests per second and per-session caps are, and they are frequently buried in the documentation rather than the pricing page.

A comparison that admits what it cannot say

The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:

Nothing in that table settles the decision on its own. It narrows the field to two or three, and then measurement finishes the job.

A test worth more than this comparison

Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.

  1. 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.
  2. Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
  3. Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
  4. Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
  5. Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.

The other names that come up

Other providers in the same bracket, priced and dated the same way:

Where HProxy sits in that test

We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.

Frequently asked questions

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.
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.
