Proxy-Cheap Alternative

The simpler, cheaper Proxy-Cheap alternative

Proxy-Cheap competes on entry price across residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6. We take a different route: bandwidth included with the plan rather than metered per gigabyte, and every proxy type in one subscription from $24.95/mo.

Why people look for a Proxy-Cheap alternative

Usually it is the bill. Proxy-Cheap competes on entry price across residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6. Once volume grows, a per gigabyte rate compounds in a way a flat plan does not, and low entry pricing is real, and the per gigabyte model still applies once volume grows.

Line item sprawl is the other reason. Buying residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6 separately means four products to track and four renewal dates, even at low individual prices.

Where Proxy-Cheap is the better choice

Proxy-Cheap has genuinely low entry points and sells small quantities without pressure, which suits testing and small jobs.

We would rather say that here than have you discover it after paying.

How the two models differ

Proxy-Cheap sells small quantities at low entry prices across residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6, each a separate line item. The saving here comes from consolidation: one plan covers all four types.

If you buy only one type in small volume, their entry price is hard to beat and we will not pretend otherwise. The maths changes once you need two or more types, or once residential volume passes a few dozen gigabytes.

Switching over

Standard HTTPS and SOCKS5 on one gateway host, so migration is a configuration change rather than a rewrite. Replace the host, port and credentials in your tool and your existing code keeps working.

Plans start at $24.95/mo with no minimum and no sales call. The comparison pages show the per gigabyte maths against each provider, and the setup guide covers the common tools.

FAQ

Proxy-Cheap alternative FAQ

For most teams yes, particularly if the per gigabyte bill is what sent you looking. You get residential, datacenter, mobile and IPv6 in one rotating plan from $24.95/mo with bandwidth included.
How much cheaper is it?
On the 25 thread plan, 750GB of residential works out at about $0.13/GB. The cheapest published plan covering the same 750GB elsewhere is $562.50, and most sit between $1,100 and $2,600. The comparison table above prices the same workload at each provider.
Does Proxy-Cheap have a larger pool?
Proxy-Cheap does not publish a pool figure on its pricing page, so we will not quote one against our 100M+. Pool size matters less than it sounds for most workloads, but if it is your binding constraint, compare figures for the specific country you need.
How do I migrate from Proxy-Cheap?
Replace the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. We use standard HTTPS and SOCKS5, so scraping and automation code does not need rewriting.
Do you offer the same proxy types?
We provide rotating and sticky residential, datacenter, mobile and IPv6 proxies from a 100M+ pool, with country targeting, over HTTPS and SOCKS5.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Plans start at $24.95/mo, scale when you need to and cancel anytime. There is no procurement process and no sales call.
