A PeanutProxies alternative for data and scraping work

PeanutProxies is a retail buying service that happens to sell residential bandwidth on the side. That is not a knock. It is the most important thing to understand before you compare prices, because a side product is usually run like one.

PeanutProxies and ResiFactory compared: static addresses against a rotating pool

There are two kinds of buyer who search for a PeanutProxies alternative. The first wants residential bandwidth and found the brand through a Discord tag rather than a price page. The second is leaving because something in the buying flow did not work, and wants a provider where the proxy product is the business rather than an attachment to one.

We read their site, their Discord server listing and their legal pages, and we dated what we found. Every PeanutProxies fact below links to what we read. Our own figures are read live from our catalogue when this page is served.

One thing to be clear about up front: most of what follows is an absence rather than a criticism. PeanutProxies publishes very little, so a fair comparison mostly comes down to what is documented on each side.

What PeanutProxies is

Start with the site. PeanutProxies is an automated buying service first and a proxy shop second, and the proxy section is a small part of a page built around the other business.

Inside that section the catalogue is thin. Residential proxies are residential proxies marked Live, with no price shown. The ISP line is Soon, with no price published, the datacenter line is marked Soon, there is no mobile proxies listed, and no servers listed.

That is a product list still being built, and there is nothing wrong with launching that way. The practical consequence is that only one of their products is buyable today, and its price is not on the page.

A price you cannot read on their site

The only number attached to PeanutProxies is .89/GB, as a tag on its Discord server profile with no product named. It sits on their Discord server profile, next to a Premium Isps tag beside it, and names no product.

Pricing a service that way is common in Discord-native shops, and it is not automatically worse. It is worse for a buyer who needs to budget: an untagged per-gigabyte figure tells you nothing about which pool it applies to, what the minimum is, or whether it includes the ISP line that is still marked Soon.

Their billing model is at least legible in principle: pay-as-you-go pricing with no stated minimum, and no bandwidth expiration. No stated minimum means you could in theory buy a very small amount, which is the one place they are more flexible than a provider with a floor.

Our side is simpler to compare because it is published. Essential is $1.50/GB, Premium is $3.00/GB, Mobile is $3.00/GB, and every pool is metered against a wallet that starts at $0.50. See pricing for the full sheet.

Coverage and sessions, as far as they say

PeanutProxies claims 195+ countries, by its own count. That is a large claim and we are linking it, not vouching for it.

Sessions are where the documentation thins out further: they offer sticky sessions of unstated length. Sticky length decides whether a session survives a multi-step flow, so an unstated range is a real gap rather than a marketing omission.

Our side publishes a single rule: up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). Country, US state and ASN are set in the username on every pool, and Premium and Mobile add city. If you want to see the syntax before you buy, the API reference has it.

How you buy, and what you sign

Buying is through its Discord server, where its Get Access buttons lead. The Get Access buttons lead to Discord rather than a web form.

There is also nothing to sign. As of the date we checked, there were no terms, privacy or refund policy, and no Trustpilot page. That combination is the part we would flag hardest to a friend, not because a small shop is dishonest, but because none of the usual recourse exists if a payment goes wrong.

ResiFactory takes cards through Stripe or SOL, publishes its Terms and refund policy, and lists the business on a trust page. None of that makes us a better scraper. It does make the transaction boring, which is what you want from a vendor.

Documentation

PeanutProxies has no API documentation, so integration is a conversation rather than a read.

If you are one person running a script, that is fine. If two engineers need to wire credentials into a pipeline, the absence of a reference is where a cheap provider stops being cheap: the hours you spend reverse-engineering the line format cost more than the bandwidth.

Our credential syntax is documented end to end: country, US state, city, ASN, session length and protocol per pool. The API reference is public with no login.

The verdict, in one paragraph

PeanutProxies is a buyable residential pool attached to a different business, with a per-gigabyte figure on a Discord profile and almost nothing written down beside it. If you are already in that Discord and want a small amount of bandwidth, it will probably work and it is not our place to talk you out of it.

For anything that needs to be predictable, the gap is not price, it is paper. One pool is live, two are marked Soon, and there are no terms, no refund policy and no reference.

The overlap is residential bandwidth alone. On every other product we sell and they do not, the comparison is not close, and on the one where we overlap, ours is published and theirs is a tag.

ResiFactory is the right call if

  • You want a published price before you pay. Ours is $1.50/GB on Essential and $3.00/GB on Premium, read live on this page; theirs is residential proxies marked Live, with no price shown.
  • You need a small first purchase. Our wallet starts at $0.50 and you can spend it across any pool.
  • You need mobile proxies. PeanutProxies lists no mobile proxies listed; ours is $3.00/GB in 150 countries.
  • You need static ISP IPs today. Theirs are Soon, with no price published and their datacenter line is marked Soon; ours is $255 a month for a whole /24.
  • You need a Mac server. They list no servers listed; ours start at from $32 a day or $160 a month.
  • You want terms, a refund policy and an API reference before you run traffic through anyone's network.

What public reviews say

Linked, not quoted. We copy no review score onto this page.

There is nothing to quote. As of the date we checked, no Trustpilot page, and no third-party review page appears on the brand's results.

We would rather be read than scored. Every PeanutProxies claim here links to where we found it, and every price of ours is read live from the catalogue.

Switching from PeanutProxies

  1. Sign in with Google, Apple, email, a passkey or Discord, then top up from $0.50. No application, no sales call, no Discord-only gate.

  2. Credentials are host:port:user:pass, so anything that took a PeanutProxies line takes ours the same way.

  3. Country, state, city, ASN and session length go in the username. The API reference documents each field.

  4. If you were waiting on their ISP or datacenter line, ours is a /24 subnet at $255 a month, sold to one customer per subnet and released in restock windows.

  5. To run your own targets before moving the bill, use 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google.
