The simpler, cheaper ProxyEmpire alternative
ProxyEmpire sells flexible bandwidth with rollover, so unused traffic does not evaporate. 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 ProxyEmpire alternative
Usually it is the bill. ProxyEmpire sells flexible bandwidth with rollover, so unused traffic does not evaporate. Once volume grows, a per gigabyte rate compounds in a way a flat plan does not, and non expiring data is the right model for lumpy, unpredictable workloads.
Pool size is the other reason. Rollover bandwidth is excellent, but a smaller pool means addresses recur sooner, which matters on targets that remember.
Where ProxyEmpire is the better choice
ProxyEmpire's rollover bandwidth and pay as you go structure genuinely suit irregular usage. If you scrape in bursts a few times a year, a monthly plan wastes money and theirs does not.
We would rather say that here than have you discover it after paying.
How the two models differ
ProxyEmpire's rollover bandwidth means unused data carries forward, which suits usage arriving in bursts. Our plans reset monthly, so the models suit different rhythms.
If your work is genuinely seasonal, a few heavy months a year and long quiet stretches, rollover may still serve you better and we would rather say so. If you scrape most weeks, a flat monthly plan costs less per gigabyte than any rollover product.
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.
