TrustProxy alternatives: what to check before you switch

A TrustProxy 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

Most pages titled "TrustProxy alternative" are affiliate lists with the payout order baked in. This one is written by a rival, which is a different bias and an easier one to correct for, because you can check every number we print.

TrustProxy on the record

The domain is trustproxy.io.

A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for TrustProxy recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.

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.

How TrustProxy presents itself

Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "TrustProxy, Buy Residential, Datacenter and Mobile Proxies". In the description they hand to search engines: "Buy premium residential, datacenter, mobile and sneaker proxies from $1.75/GB. 195+ countries, 99.9% uptime, SOCKS5 and HTTP. Scrape and automate without IP blocks."

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 195 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: crypto and Wise or Payoneer. Support is advertised as around the clock. Their pricing page is titled "Proxy Pricing, Plans from $1.75/GB , TrustProxy".

That is the vendor speaking, not us. We print it because a claim with a date attached is at least falsifiable.

Longevity, on the public record

The domain was registered on 14 June 2024, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 2 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. It is paid up until 14 June 2026.

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.

How much site there is

Our own crawl reached 70 of their pages, last run 19 June 2026. The mix was 25 blog pages, 1 pricing page and 25 location 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.

Signs of life

Our crawl of their site found 70 pages carrying a date, 25 of them articles. The oldest is from July 2026 and the newest from July 2026. 70 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.

Recent dates prove somebody is still at the keyboard. They prove nothing about the network, which is what the test at the end of this page is for.

Where published figures stop being useful

Ten million addresses, and none of them yours

The number that matters is how many usable exits you can reach in the one country your job needs, this week. A pool total averages that away, which is why two providers with similar totals produce opposite results on the same site.

The entry price is not the effective price

Divide what you spent in a month by what you actually used, and you have the only rate worth quoting. It usually sits well above the figure on the homepage, because tiers, minimums and unused allocation all sit between the two.

Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling

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.

A comparison that admits what it cannot say

The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:

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.

  1. Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
  2. Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
  3. Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
  4. Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
  5. Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.

The other names that come up

Other providers in the same bracket, priced and dated the same way:

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 TrustProxy 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.
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.
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.
How often should I re-test a provider?
Quarterly is a reasonable rhythm for most workloads, and immediately after a noticeable drop in success rate. Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves, so a benchmark from last year describes a network that no longer exists.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.

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.
