People arrive at a proxy provider comparison for one of two reasons: the price moved, or the thing stopped working. This page assumes you are in one of those two positions with Thunderproxy and wants to be useful in ten minutes rather than impressive in thirty.
What we can and cannot tell you about Thunderproxy
The company behind the name sits at thunderproxy.com.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for Thunderproxy recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
Read their page for the reachable rate rather than the headline, the minimum spend, the expiry clause and the billing treatment of blocked requests. Write down the date, because all four move.
What Thunderproxy says about itself today
Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "Buy proxies - fast, secure and reliable proxy services, Thunderproxy". The one-paragraph pitch on their own page: "Access 30M+ residential, static ISP and datacenter IPs across 155+ countries. Start with a 256MB free trial and use HTTP(S), SOCKS5, rotating and sticky sessions."
Also on the page, stated plainly:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential and SOCKS5. They advertise 155 countries or locations. 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.
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
What the registration record shows
The domain was registered on 1 February 2022, through Dynadot Inc, which makes it about 4 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. It is paid up until 1 February 2027.
Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.
What they have built around the product
A crawl of 246 pages on 19 June 2026 returned 125 blog pages.
Read it as a map of what they emphasise. It is our count, from our crawler, on the date shown, and it is the only figure on this page that neither of us can dispute.
Where published figures stop being useful
The country total, and the country you use
Almost every provider claims almost every country. What differs is depth, and depth decides whether a single city or a single carrier is usable. No published figure tells you that.
Match the units before anything else
Residential is normally billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, mobile per day or per port. Setting one against another produces a number that means nothing. Convert both sides into the unit your own workload consumes.
Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling
Bandwidth is rarely the constraint on a real workload. Concurrent connections, requests per second and per-session caps are, and they are frequently buried in the documentation rather than the pricing page.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:
| Question to ask | Thunderproxy | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Not published clearly, ask before paying | None |
| Identity checks | On their own terms page | 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 |
We would rather show an incomplete table than a confident wrong one. Anything we could not source is left for you to read at the source, with the date you read it.
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.
- 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.
- Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Ishostedby alternatives
- iXBrowser alternatives
- Jiguangdaili (极光代理) alternatives
- Jinglingip (精灵代理) alternatives
- Jshop Biz alternatives
- Juliangip (巨量代理) alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
HProxy suits buyers who want to add funds, send traffic and stop thinking about it. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no commitment, nothing expiring. Buyers who need procurement paperwork and a named account manager are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say so here than waste your afternoon.
