The Froxy alternative for buyers who would rather not subscribe

Every Froxy proxy product is sold the same way: a plan with a fixed amount of traffic, on monthly subscriptions that renew automatically until you cancel. A bigger plan buys a lower rate per gigabyte, so the price you pay depends on how much you are willing to commit to in advance.

That model suits a steady workload. If you move roughly the same volume every month, a plan sized to it is predictable, and Froxy softens the edges: traffic you did not use is carried into the next period, as long as the plan is renewed on time, and there is a subscription pause you can switch on and off for a quiet stretch. Those are thoughtful features.

The cost falls on everyone whose volume is not steady. A one-off job, a test against a new target, a month busier or quieter than planned: each either strands money in a plan that is too big or pays the small-plan rate for one that is too small.

We built ResiFactory the other way round. One wallet per pool, topped up with any amount from $0.50, at a rate that does not change with the size of the top-up. Nothing renews. See pricing for the published sheet.

Start at the bottom of the ladder, where most people start. Froxy's smallest residential plan costs $5.50 a month for 1 GB. Our Essential pool is $1.50/GB and Premium is $3.00/GB, from a top-up of $0.50. For a small buyer, the gap is wide.

At the top of the ladder it narrows. Froxy's residential rate falls to $2.69 per GB, on a 1 TB plan at $2,750 a month. At today's rates, Essential is still below that at any size. Premium sits close to it, and at that volume the two are near enough that the deciding factor is not the rate but what you need from the pool.

Mobile follows the same curve. The smallest Froxy mobile plan is $7.50 a month for 1 GB, and the rate falls to $3.90 per GB, on a 500 GB plan at $1,950 a month. Ours is $3.00/GB on real phones on carrier networks, with no plan behind it.

So on residential and mobile bandwidth we are the cheaper buy for most sizes at today's rates, and the gap is widest at the first gigabyte, exactly where a subscription hurts most.

This is the difference we would read twice. On Froxy, unused traffic is carried into the next period, as long as the plan is renewed on time. The condition is the renewal. If you let the plan lapse, the carried traffic goes with it.

Stopping works the same way. Cancelling gives you access until the end of the paid cycle, with no prorated refund for the unused time, and the refund policy sets out refunds only in listed cases: a duplicate payment, an outage of more than 72 hours, an untouched package, or an EU cooling-off request. That is a clear policy, honestly stated, and it is how most subscription businesses work.

Our wallet has no period to lapse. A balance has no expiry date under normal circumstances, as our Terms set out, whether you top up again next month or next year. Refund requests are taken within 14 days of a top-up.

The catalogues overlap on residential and mobile bandwidth and then split in both directions.

Froxy has two lines we do not sell at all. Datacenter bandwidth is sold from $0.60 per GB of shared datacenter traffic, on IPs in the USA and Europe, a good rate for work that does not need a residential address. And it sells SERP and e-commerce scrapers from $1.32 per 1,000 requests, for a team that wants results rather than a proxy. If either is the job, Froxy is the better shop.

We have two lines Froxy does not list. Its proxy products are residential, mobile and datacenter, the three types its features page lists. Ours include static ISP subnets: a whole /24 at $255 a month, billed monthly, sold to one customer per subnet, so the reputation of those addresses is yours alone. See ISP proxies for how a restock works.

And we rent Mac servers from $32 a day or $160 a month, with a day rental from $32, 24 hours counted from when the Mac is ready. If your work needs a real Mac on a clean line, there is nothing on the Froxy side to compare it with.

Froxy is generous here, and it deserves the credit. It offers filters by country, city and ISP, and it supports HTTP and SOCKS5 on residential, mobile and datacenter alike. Authorization is a whitelisted IP or a login and password. If you want SOCKS5 on every product line, Froxy gives you that and we do not.

Our split is by pool. Country, US state and ASN work on every pool. Premium and Mobile add city. HTTP runs on port 7777 on every pool, and SOCKS5 on port 1080 on Premium, Mobile and ISP. Essential is the lean pool by design: HTTP only, with state as its finest setting.

Sessions are where we would point you at the detail. Froxy advertises rotating and sticky sessions, with rotation intervals you set between 90 and 3,600 seconds. Ours rotate per request, or hold one exit for up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). Premium and Mobile are the pools to use when a long multi-step flow has to stay on a single address.

Coverage is a fair point for Froxy: its residential pool is 120M+ IPs across 200+ locations and its mobile pool is 30M+ rotating IPs on 4G and 5G. Ours cover 150 countries, so check both lists if you need a rare location.

Froxy has an easy front door. It offers a three-day, 100 MB trial for $1.99 on every plan, which you start yourself from the dashboard. Ours is 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google. Ours costs nothing; theirs costs no time.

On payment, Froxy takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express and UnionPay on plans, with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and Tether for balance top-ups. We take Visa, Mastercard and Amex through Stripe, or SOL. Both of us take crypto; Froxy takes more kinds of it.

If you need datacenter bandwidth, a ready-made scraper, or SOCKS5 on every product line, Froxy sells them and we do not. Its trial is easier to start, it takes more kinds of crypto, and its published coverage is wider. Those are real reasons to choose it.

If you buy residential or mobile bandwidth in amounts that change from month to month, the wallet is the better deal. You pay one rate from the first top-up, unused traffic does not depend on a renewal, and there is nothing to cancel. Add static subnets and Mac servers, which Froxy does not list, and the case for us is strongest where its subscription is least forgiving.

So: buy from Froxy if your volume is steady and large, or if datacenter or scrapers are the job. Come here if you would rather not subscribe, or if you need a subnet, a Mac, or a session held on Premium or Mobile.

Froxy links from its home page to its Trustpilot and G2 review profiles. Read them there, in full, rather than through our summary. We quote none of the scores: a copied figure is a claim we cannot keep current, and a stale one misleads the person reading it.

We would rather you judged us on the network. Our prices here are read live, every Froxy fact links to its source, and the trust page lists what we can prove.
