Head to head

What the same job actually costs

Most proxy comparisons dodge the number. These do not. Each page takes one workload, prices it at both providers using their published rates, and shows the working. Where a competitor is genuinely better, it says so.

Every provider, one workload

Same workload, one month, at each provider's advertised rate.

FAQ

Comparing proxy providers: FAQ

How do you work out the cost comparisons?
We take one workload, 750GB of residential bandwidth in a month, and price it at each provider using the rate published on their own pricing page. Our own figure is generated from our live plan table, so it always matches what we actually charge.
How current are the competitor prices?
Every rate carries the date it was last verified against the provider's public pricing page. Proxy pricing moves, so we re-check rather than leaving figures to age.
Why is Proxy Rotator so much cheaper per gigabyte?
A different pricing model rather than a discount. Most providers meter you per gigabyte. We charge for concurrent connections and include bandwidth with the plan, so heavy usage does not scale the bill the same way.
Do the comparisons ever favour the competitor?
Yes, and each page says where. Some providers run larger pools or offer targeting we do not, and if that is your binding constraint they are the better choice. A comparison that never concedes anything is not worth reading.
How hard is it to switch?
Usually a configuration change. Our proxies use standard HTTPS and SOCKS5, so you replace the gateway host, port and credentials and your existing code keeps working.

All proxy types in one plan from $24.95/mo, with bandwidth included rather than metered per gigabyte.
