Nothing here is a hit piece. RateProxy has customers who are well served by it, and this page says which ones. It also says where we think the model costs a buyer money.
What we can and cannot tell you about RateProxy
The company behind the name sits at rateproxy.com. We carry them as a proxy provider.
What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for RateProxy. 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.
Look for the tier you would actually land in, not the one at the bottom of the table, and find the expiry and failed-request clauses before the rate impresses you.
What RateProxy says about itself today
Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "Buy Proxies, RateProxy". The one-paragraph pitch on their own page: "Ranking of proxy providers and shops where you can buy proxies. We made a convenient filter by goals, purpose, platform, and rental period."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are residential, ISP or static residential, mobile, SOCKS5 and IPv6. Payment methods mentioned: crypto. The page offers some form of free trial. 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.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 3 June 2021, through Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU LLC, which makes it about 5 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 3 June 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.
Where published figures stop being useful
A pool total is not a promise
The number that matters is how many usable exits you can reach in the one country your job needs, this week. A pool total averages that away, which is why two providers with similar totals produce opposite results on the same site.
Money you paid for and did not spend
Expiry is the quietest price increase in this market. A plan sized for a busy month is expensive in a slow one, and the difference never appears in any comparison table, including ones written by vendors who benefit from it.
The rate behind the sales call
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.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:
| Question to ask | RateProxy | 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 | Read their current terms | None |
| Identity checks | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | 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 |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
A test worth more than this comparison
Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.
- Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
- Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
- 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.
- Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.

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.
