Proxy-Cheap alternatives and competitors

The rotating residential page lists three plan cards: 3 GB+ starting at $1.50/GB, 4 GB+ starting at $1.20/GB and 51 GB+ starting at $0.78/GB. Each card also shows a second price without a label, $2.99/GB on the first two and $2.60/GB on the third. The page says pay-as-you-go is available but shows no rate.

It lists country and city targeting, HTTP and SOCKS5, sticky and rotating sessions, and under 100 Mbps on every plan card. It gives two pool figures, 80M+ IP addresses and 100M+ IPs online, across 195+ countries, and lists Visa, Maestro, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and CoinGate for payment.

The page does not say whether traffic expires and mentions no free trial. The refund policy says a full refund may be issued on bandwidth plans if no more than 20% of the purchased bandwidth has been used.

Webshare is the nearest like-for-like move: self-service residential plans sized in GB, with 80M+ IPs in 195 countries, about what Proxy-Cheap advertises. It adds state, ZIP and ASN targeting to the country and city targeting Proxy-Cheap lists.

It costs more per GB. Plans run from $3.50/GB on 1 GB to $2.25/GB on 100 GB and $1.40/GB on 3,000 GB ($4,200/month), against Proxy-Cheap’s from $1.50/GB at 3 GB and from $0.78/GB at 51 GB. Plans are billed monthly and renew automatically, and refunds apply only within 2 days of payment while rotating residential use is below 0.1 GB.
