TradeProxy alternatives: what to check before you switch

A TradeProxy alternative, judged by a competitor who says so up front: the record we hold, the gaps in it, and the test that outranks this page.

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.

Residential proxies

TradeProxy sits in a market where the advertised number and the number you pay are frequently different, because tiers, minimums and expiry all sit between them. Untangling that is most of the work here.

The record we hold

The domain is tradeproxy.net.

What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for TradeProxy. Rather than print a figure we cannot stand behind, this page leaves it out and tells you what to look for when you read their page yourself.

Copy down the entry rate, the commitment attached to the cheapest rate, the minimum top-up and the expiry rule. Those four turn a marketing figure into something you can compare.

How TradeProxy presents itself

As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "TradeProxy.NET - Residential Proxy Marketplace with Better Prices". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Buy residential proxies from top providers like 9Proxy, Mobile Hope, 711 Proxy, Clip Proxy and Loki Proxy. Get better prices than the original websites"

Also on the page, stated plainly:

The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 190 countries or locations. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. 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.

Longevity, on the public record

The domain was registered on 20 March 2025, through Octopusdomains.net LLC, which makes it about 1 year old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. It is paid up until 20 March 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.

The shape of their site

We crawled 61 pages of their site and found 1 blog page.

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.

The activity record

Our crawl of their site found 61 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from April 2025 and the newest from April 2025.

The most recent date on the site is more than twelve months old. Sites do go quiet without the service going with them, but a year of silence is worth one email to support before you fund an account.

The parts no marketing page answers

The country total, and the country you use

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.

Shared or dedicated changes everything

Ask how many accounts can sit on one address at once. Where the answer is unlimited or unspecified, price the plan as shared regardless of what the product is called.

What a blocked response costs you

Divide the spend by the successful responses, not by the requests sent. That single change reorders most price comparisons in this market, and your accounting will use it eventually anyway.

A test worth more than this comparison

Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.

  1. Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
  2. Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
  3. Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
  4. Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
  5. 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:

Where HProxy sits in that test

Our own lane is easy to state. Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance is topped up when you want and does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and city and ISP targeting are included rather than sold separately. If the test above puts us second on your target, buy the winner.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a TradeProxy 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 TradeProxy advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for TradeProxy, 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.
How is HProxy different?
The models differ more than the products do. HProxy is pay as you go from a balance you top up when you want, the balance does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB with city and ISP targeting included. Whether that beats a tiered plan depends on your usage pattern, which a short test settles.

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.
