How we compared
- Competitor figures were read from the vendor's own public pages on November 6, 2026, as displayed, and each source is linked below the table. Where a page does not state something, the table says so.
- List prices and promotions are shown separately. A coupon that lasts 3 months is not a rate to budget against.
- Pool sizes and country counts are what each provider advertises. None is independently audited, and we did not test either network for this page.
- Before moving traffic, send the same targets, countries, concurrency and retry rules through both providers, and compare successful responses and billed traffic. The proxy checker runs a first connectivity check on any proxy.
