The answer to "what should I use instead of Tendem" depends entirely on why you are leaving. Price, a commitment, a country, a support experience and a blocked target all point at different replacements.
Everything we can stand behind
Their site is tendem.ai.
We have no verified current rate for Tendem on file. Printing a guess would make this page worse than useless, so the price row below is empty and the reading list is not.
When you do read it, note four things: the rate you actually qualify for today, the minimum purchase, whether unused balance expires, and whether failed requests are billed. Those four decide the real cost more than the headline does.
The site, as it reads today
The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "AI + Human Agent to Get Any Task Done, Tendem". The one-paragraph pitch on their own page: "Delegate any task to Tendem"
Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:
Payment methods mentioned: Wise or Payoneer. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
None of that is verified performance. It is what the vendor chose to publish, recorded with a date so you can see whether it still says the same thing.
Age, and why it matters here
The domain was registered on 22 May 2025, through SafeNames Ltd, which makes it about 1 year old. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026. The registration currently runs to 22 May 2027.
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.
Their published surface
A crawl of 163 pages on 19 June 2026 returned 114 blog pages and 1 pricing page.
Site size is a signal about marketing budget rather than network quality, and the two are frequently unrelated. It is useful for a different reason: a provider with many pricing pages is usually segmenting hard, and a provider with none is selling by quotation.
What you still do not know after reading their site
Ask what happens to unused balance
Find out whether unspent traffic rolls over, expires, or expires only on some plans. The answer changes the effective rate by more than most of the price differences buyers spend their time arguing about.
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.
The limit that stops the job
A plan with generous traffic and a low thread limit is a slow plan. Find both numbers before you size anything, because the smaller of the two is your actual ceiling.
The two of us, on the questions that matter
Here are the comparisons that survive contact with a real workload:
| Question to ask | Tendem | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Their terms page answers this | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | None |
| Identity checks | Read their current terms | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Read their current terms | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
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.
The measurement that outranks every review
This costs less than a coffee and produces the only evidence that applies to your workload.
- Fund both accounts with the least money each will accept, and note what that minimum was, because it is part of the comparison.
- Aim both at the page that matters to you rather than a test endpoint, and keep every other variable fixed.
- Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
- Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
- 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.
- Hidemy alternatives
- Hidester alternatives
- Hiper Smm alternatives
- Hola VPN (commercial) alternatives
- HomeIP alternatives
- Honeygain alternatives
Where we fit
For completeness: residential from $0.44 per GB, city and ISP targeting included, no monthly minimum, and a balance that stays where you left it. We are a good fit for uneven workloads and a poor one for anybody who wants a signed enterprise agreement.
