Leaving Scrapoxy: what the same job costs elsewhere

Looking past Scrapoxy? Match the units, find the expiry clause, then measure success rate on your own target. This page covers all three.

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.

Proxies for Web Scraping

Choosing a scraping API on price alone is the most common and most expensive mistake in this market, because a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works. That framing runs through the whole page.

What we know about Scrapoxy, and what we do not

Scrapoxy trades at scrapoxy.io. They compete with us as a scraping API.

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

Take down four numbers and a date: reachable rate, minimum purchase, commitment for the floor rate, and expiry period. Anything less and you cannot compare them to anyone.

Scrapoxy in its own words

The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "Scrapoxy , End of Life, Scrapoxy". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Scrapoxy is being discontinued after more than eleven years."

Taken from the same page, on the same day:

We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.

Treat all of it as advertising, because it is. Its value is that it is dated and quotable, which is more than most comparison pages offer.

What people actually search about Scrapoxy

Search volume around the name runs to 10 a month, split as 10 a month for an alternative to them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.

The biggest slice is people looking for a way out, so the useful thing to hand a reader is evidence rather than an opinion.

What you still do not know after reading their site

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.

Minimums, contracts and sales calls

A commitment converts a variable cost into a fixed one. That is a good trade at steady volume and a poor one otherwise, and the decision belongs to you rather than to whichever tier looks cheapest per unit.

Networks age, so re-test quarterly

Supply changes hands quietly in this industry. The network behind a brand can be replaced with no announcement, which is why a benchmark is a perishable good and a re-test is cheap insurance.

The two of us, on the questions that matter

Set the two side by side on the questions that decide the outcome, rather than on feature counts:

The useful part of that table is the left column. Take those six questions to any provider in this market and the answers will sort them faster than any review.

The test that beats this page

It is a small amount of money for an answer that is actually about your target.

  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. Write down two numbers per provider: the share of requests that succeeded, and the traffic it cost.
  4. Take a handful of the addresses you were given and verify their country and type against a checker you do not control.
  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.

What we sell, stated plainly

Our position is narrow. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no subscription, no expiry on the balance, and a public record of what our free network actually does. A provider unwilling to be measured is telling you something, and so is one that asks to be.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a Scrapoxy alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
What does Scrapoxy advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for Scrapoxy, so this page does not print one. Read their own pricing page for the rate, the minimum and the commitment, and note the date you read it, because all three move.
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.
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.
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.

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.
