Is S5Proxies legit? The record in one table

| Trustpilot | 3.6 from 47 reviews, in an archived copy of 31 August 2025 |
The shop has sold the same product since at least October 2023. What it leaves out is who runs it. The terms, the privacy policy and the footer name no company, and the terms never fill in the governing law.
What S5Proxies sells, and what it costs
Its FAQ answers the first question plainly: "We provide only socks5 residential proxies." Datacenter and mobile proxies have been marked "Coming Soon" since the oldest archived copy, of October 2023.
You buy a plan, then open the list in its panel. The panel searches by "country, state, city, hostname, IP mask, connection speed, online time and domain". Each address and port shows when you click it. The site says it checks the whole list "every 5 minutes", and each proxy again before you take it.
| plan | price | what the card says |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited 1 Day Trial | $2.00 | unlimited proxies for 1 day, no API |
| Daily 100, 15 days | $5.00 | 100 a day, 1,500 in total, no API |
| Daily 100, 30 days | $9.00 | 100 a day, 3,000 in total, no API |
| Daily 500, 15 days | $12.00 | 500 a day, API access |
| Daily 500, 30 days | $19.00 | 500 a day, API access |
| Unlimited Plan 15 | $35.00 | unlimited a day; the card reads 19,999 proxies |
| Unlimited Plan 30 | $55.00 | unlimited a day; the card reads 19,999 proxies |
| Unlimited Plan 90 | $90.00 | unlimited a day; the card reads 9,999 proxies |
| Unlimited Plan 180 | $150.00 | unlimited a day; the card reads 9,999 proxies |
| Unlimited Plan 365 | $250.00 | unlimited a day; the card reads 9,999 proxies |
Source: the s5proxies.com homepage, read 27 September 2026. Every card but the two Daily 500 ones says "Unlimited data". The Daily 100 cards work out at "$0.05 per residential proxy", and the unlimited cards claim "from $0.001 each".
Its FAQ lists "Perfect Money, Web Money, Crypto" as payment. The footer also shows logos for Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Bitcoin and Perfect Money. For API access, its API page asks you to write in and mention "I need API".
The fine print that decides the cost
Refunds cover the trial only. The terms, last updated on 22 September 2023, say: "Refunds Are only available to 1$ Trial Package." Fees are deducted first, and unused time on a plan is not refunded. The trial now costs $2.00, while the terms still speak of a $1 package.
No named company. The footer, the terms and the privacy policy name no company. The terms end with "the laws of [Jurisdiction]", a blank never filled in, and the privacy policy still refers to "www.website.com". Support runs through one Telegram account.
Addresses without a password. Its FAQ describes connecting "Using IP and Port". Asked "Do I need IP authentication to use your proxies?", it answers "No its not."
Sources not named. Asked how it collects its proxies, the FAQ answers: "We collect our residential proxies from various sources and vendors." Its pages describe no consent program for the people behind the addresses.
Supply you cannot see before paying. The homepage promises "Over 7,000 proxies online daily". Its counter read "0+ proxies online now" on 27 September 2026. The archived copies of 10 June and 12 September 2026 read the same. We cannot tell from outside whether the counter or the supply is at fault. Buy the trial before a long plan.

What customers say
Trustpilot answered our server with a verification wall. The latest copy we could read is the Internet Archive capture of 31 August 2025. It showed a TrustScore of 3.6 from 47 reviews: 26 five-star, 8 four-star and 13 one-star, with none in between. The five-star reviews praise the price and the panel. The one-star reviews describe proxies that stopped working soon after purchase and support that did not reply. In January 2025 the score was 4.0 from 44 reviews.
S5Proxies alternatives for SOCKS5 traffic
The models differ, so compare by the job. S5Proxies sells a daily list of addresses, most plans with no data limit. The alternatives below sell rotating residential traffic by the gigabyte, through a gateway. Their figures come from each pricing page, read on 26 September 2026.
| provider | how you pay | smallest order | protocols |
|---|---|---|---|
| S5Proxies | a list of addresses by the day | $2.00, one day | SOCKS5 only |
| Webshare | rotating residential by the GB | $3.50, the 1 GB plan | HTTP and SOCKS5 |
| Evomi | rotating residential by the GB | $0.99 a GB, from 15 GB | HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 |
| DataImpulse | rotating residential by the GB | $5 for 5 GB | HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 |
| HProxy Residential Lite, country targeting | by the GB | $0.50/GB, from 1 GB | HTTP and SOCKS5 |
| HProxy Residential Premium, state, city and ISP targeting | by the GB | $1.49/GB, from 1 GB | HTTP and SOCKS5, with UDP |
Every line our generator hands out carries a username and password. The targeting sits in the username, as our API documentation shows. For one steady address in place of a list, our static ISP proxies cost $2.70 per IP a month, from one address, also by the week. Our SOCKS5 explainer covers the protocol both sides use.
Where S5Proxies is the better buy
Many addresses for a few dollars. $5.00 buys 100 addresses a day for 15 days, with no data limit. If each address carries little traffic, a flat daily list can cost less than metered gigabytes.
You pick the exact address. The panel shows the city, host name, speed and online time before you use an address. A rotating pool does not let you choose one address in advance.
A full day for $2. The trial runs a whole day on the unlimited plan.
Where HProxy is the better fit
A company you can name. HProxy is run by Obsidian UG in Herford, Germany, with its register number in our imprint. S5Proxies names no company, and its terms leave the governing law blank.
A password on every line. Our lines carry a username and password, with the targeting in the username. The S5Proxies FAQ describes connecting with the IP and port alone.
Refunds beyond a trial. Our refund policy returns unspent balance and unrouted residential traffic within 14 days of purchase. S5Proxies refunds only its trial.
More ways to pay. Our payment options page lists cards, 32 crypto assets and networks, Alipay, Pix and more. The S5Proxies FAQ lists Perfect Money, WebMoney and crypto.
Targeting without a list. Our Premium pool, $1.49 per GB for a first gigabyte, finds an address in the state, city or network you ask for. It holds that address for 3 minutes to 24 hours.
Before you commit
Buy the S5Proxies trial for $2.00 and see how many addresses in the list answer during that day. Then put the same job through one gigabyte of rotating residential traffic. Count the requests that came back correct on each side. Our proxy checker tests a whole list of addresses at once.
The limits of this record
We did not buy a plan or test the addresses, so nothing here grades speed or uptime. The pool figures are its own claims, and its counter showed zero on the day we read it.
The plans and prices are as its homepage printed them on 27 September 2026. No page names the operator, so we cannot say who runs the shop. The Trustpilot figures come from an archived copy of August 2025, because the live page refused our server. This page is due for a check by 27 December 2026.
