Leaving ProxyUP: the numbers side by side

Weighing up ProxyUP? What is actually published, what it does not tell you, and how to settle the decision on your own target for a few dollars.

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

The answer to "what should I use instead of ProxyUP" depends entirely on why you are leaving. Price, a commitment, a country, a support experience and a blocked target all point at different replacements.

What is on file for ProxyUP

Their site is proxyup.net.

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

Find the rate available with no commitment, then find the cheapest rate and what it costs to reach. The distance between those two tells you what kind of vendor you are dealing with.

ProxyUP in its own words

Their homepage title, read on 9 September 2026: "ProxyUP, Türkiye IPv4 ve IPv6 Proxyler - Premium Proxy Hizmetleri".

What else that page states, without interpretation:

The product lines named on that page are datacenter, SOCKS5 and IPv6. 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.

That is the vendor speaking, not us. We print it because a claim with a date attached is at least falsifiable.

How far back the record goes

The domain was registered on 21 September 2025, through Cloudflare, Inc, which makes it about 0 years old. The lookup behind those dates ran on 9 September 2026. As things stand the domain is held to 21 September 2026.

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.

Whether anyone is still working on it

Our crawl of their site found 10 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from January 2026 and the newest from January 2026. 10 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 a pricing page leaves out

A commitment is part of the price

The lowest published rate in this market usually sits behind a monthly commitment measured in thousands. Quoting it beside a pay as you go rate is not a comparison. Compare the rate you can reach today.

The reputation you inherit

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 line item hidden in the success rate

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 rows that decide it

Here are the comparisons that survive contact with a real workload:

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.

What to do instead of reading more comparisons

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

  1. Fund both accounts with the least money each will accept, and note what that minimum was, because it is part of the comparison.
  2. Aim both at the page that matters to you rather than a test endpoint, and keep every other variable fixed.
  3. Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
  4. Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
  5. 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.

Our own position

Our end of it is a wallet, four proxy types and no contract. Residential begins at $0.44 per GB and the balance does not expire. The free proxy list and checker are open to anyone, and they are the fastest way to see how we treat measurement before you spend anything.

Frequently asked questions

Is a cheaper provider usually worse?
Not reliably. Price in this market reflects the supply model and the sales overhead as much as the network. What price does not tell you is the success rate on your target, and that is the figure that decides whether the cheaper option was cheap or expensive. Measure before assuming either way.
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.
