Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what Scyrip publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.
Scyrip on the record
Scyrip operates from scyrip.com. Our classification for them is web proxy.
Scyrip is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
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.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 25 April 2011, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 15 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 9 September 2026. Their registration is booked through 25 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 parts no marketing page answers
A pool total is not a promise
Nobody audits pool totals in this market, and the counting rules differ between vendors. Even an accurate figure describes addresses that exist, not addresses you will be routed through. Treat it as a marketing unit rather than a capability.
Why 195 countries tells you nothing
Country totals are counted generously across this whole market. A country with a handful of addresses counts the same as one with hundreds of thousands. If your work depends on one location, test that location before you switch.
The day something goes wrong
Test the support channel before you need it. Ask something specific and technical, and judge both the speed and whether the answer came from somebody who understood the question.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Scyrip | 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 | Their terms page answers this | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Check the current terms, this one moves | 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.
The ten minute version of this decision
For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.
- Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
- Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
- Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
- Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
- Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Quickbypass alternatives
- Rgsurf alternatives
- Roveva alternatives
- Rwcclan alternatives
- Securehole alternatives
- Shadowvpn alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
We are the pay as you go option in this market. Residential from $0.44 per GB, ISP and datacenter per address, mobile alongside them, all from one balance with nothing to forfeit. That model wins on irregular volume and loses on very large steady volume, which is worth knowing before you test.
