If you are comparing ZenProxy against anything else, the first thing to fix is units. A per-gigabyte rate against a per-address rate is not a comparison, and half the proxy provider market prices in a different unit to the other half.
What is on file for ZenProxy
Their site is zenproxy.io.
We price the providers we can source and date, and ZenProxy is not currently one of them. The rest of this page is about what to check when you read their pricing yourself.
The four figures worth copying down are the rate without a commitment, the smallest purchase allowed, what happens to unspent balance, and whether a failed request still costs money.
ZenProxy in its own words
Their homepage title, read on 9 September 2026: "Residential, ISP and Datacenter Proxies, ZenProxy". Their meta description, the sentence Google shows under the link, says: "Buy residential, ISP, and datacenter proxies from ZenProxy. HTTP and SOCKS5, sticky or rotating, country and city targeting. Wallet, card, or crypto. Free test available."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile, SOCKS5 and IPv6. Payment methods mentioned: crypto. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Proxy Packages and Custom Pricing, ZenProxy".
Every line above is a quotation from their marketing rather than a measurement by us. It is included because it is checkable, not because it is evidence of performance.
How far back the record goes
The domain was registered on 2 July 2024, through Porkbun LLC, which makes it about 2 years old. The lookup behind those dates ran on 23 April 2026. As things stand the domain is held to 2 July 2026.
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.
What ZenProxy publishes
We crawled 328 pages of their site and found 146 blog pages, 10 pricing pages, 13 location pages, 15 use-case pages and 10 integration pages.
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.
How recently the site moved
Our crawl of their site found 126 pages carrying a date, 126 of them articles. The oldest is from June 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 126 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Timestamps are not quality, and a company still publishing is at least a company still trading. That is worth more than it sounds in a market where providers disappear without notice.
What a pricing page leaves out
Shared or dedicated changes everything
An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.
Who pays for the requests that fail
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
The limit that stops the job
Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.
The rows that decide it
Here are the comparisons that survive contact with a real workload:
| Question to ask | ZenProxy | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Check the current terms, this one moves | None |
| Identity checks | Their terms page answers this | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Check the current terms, this one moves | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Their terms page answers this | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
A table like this can rank the things that are written down. It cannot rank the thing that matters most, which is how the network behaves against the site you care about.
The measurement that outranks every review
This costs less than a coffee and produces the only evidence that applies to your workload.
- Put a few dollars on each account. Trials are fine for a first look, but paid traffic is what you will actually be buying.
- Run them against the site you actually care about, using the code you actually run, within the same hour.
- Track the success rate and the bandwidth. A cheap gigabyte that fails half the time is not cheap.
- Run a sample of the addresses through an independent lookup, because advertised geography and actual geography differ more often than the market admits.
- Choose on the measurement, not the marketing, and expect the answer to change within a year.
The rest of the shortlist
Buyers comparing this name usually have two or three of these open in other tabs:
- Webscrapingapi alternatives
- Webshare alternatives
- Webstatsdomain alternatives
- WhiteCloakProxy alternatives
- WhiteProxies alternatives
- Whoer alternatives
Our own position
Our end of it is a wallet, four proxy types and no contract. Residential begins at $0.44 per GB and the balance does not expire. The free proxy list and checker are open to anyone, and they are the fastest way to see how we treat measurement before you spend anything.
