The Proxidize alternative for buyers who would rather not send a passport

Proxidize was founded in 2022, and it started with proprietary mobile proxy hardware, designed, manufactured and managed in-house.

Today the company sells managed cloud mobile and residential proxies, with no hardware to buy and legacy products still supported for existing users. That history is the strongest thing about its mobile product. A team that has built the hardware layer has seen how a phone network fails from the inside, and the product reads that way: no cap on mobile access points, and a published line of typical speeds of 10 to 50 Mbps, bursting to 100 Mbps.

We concede that story freely. Our Mobile pool runs on real phones on carrier networks too, but we did not start as a hardware maker. If the depth of a provider's mobile engineering decides it for you, Proxidize has a better origin story than most of the market, including us.

Proxidize residential is $1 per gigabyte, with the smallest plan at $25 for 25 GB. At volume it falls to $0.95 per gigabyte from 2 TB and $0.90 at 10 TB, with sales pricing from $0.5 per gigabyte beyond that. Mobile is $2 per gigabyte, starting at $50 for 25 GB, or $59 per proxy each month, with unlimited bandwidth.

Our rates are $1.50/GB for Essential, $3.00/GB for Premium and $3.00/GB for Mobile. On every per-gigabyte line we both sell, their headline rate is lower, and no amount of page copy changes the arithmetic.

What is worth weighing is the shape of the bill. Proxidize sells monthly plans that renew until cancelled, so the smallest residential purchase is a recurring one. Our wallet takes any amount from $0.50, once, with nothing renewing behind it. For a steady monthly workload their model is cheaper. For a test or work that comes in bursts, the cheaper rate comes with a subscription you have to remember to cancel.

See pricing for our published sheet.

On residential, Proxidize is generous. It offers unused residential bandwidth that rolls over every month and stays in the account even after cancelling. That removes the worst part of a monthly plan, the gigabytes you paid for and never used, and it is a fair point in their favour.

On mobile the rule flips: Proxidize sells per-gigabyte mobile data that expires after one month and does not roll over. If you buy a mobile block and the project stalls, the balance is gone at the end of the month.

Our wallets work the same way on every pool: what you load stays there with no expiry date under normal circumstances, as our Terms set out. So the honest summary is that their residential rollover matches our wallet, and their mobile expiry does not. If mobile is most of your spend and your usage is uneven, that difference can outweigh the per-gigabyte gap.

This is the difference that sends most people to an alternatives page. Proxidize requires a valid government-issued photo ID, a device with a camera and a country of residence before any proxy works. Access stays locked until the check is approved. There is no free proxy trial, and a plan is paid for before the ID check unlocks it.

It does not stop at the first tier. The KYC policy describes limited connection threads at the first verification tier, and unlimited only after business verification. That second tier asks for a company website, a LinkedIn presence and a business email, for sensitive categories and higher usage. A solo researcher who passes the ID check still works inside the lower limits.

For a regulated enterprise buyer that is a reassurance rather than a cost. For an individual developer, a small agency or anyone testing an idea, it is friction, and it is a document held by a company you have not yet decided to trust.

We do not ask for documents to open an account. Sign in with Google, Apple, email, a passkey or Discord, top up, and the credentials work immediately. Our rules are in the acceptable use policy, and the trust page lists what we can prove about ResiFactory.

Proxidize mobile is the product its history was built for. It offers country, city and ASN/ISP targeting at no extra charge, no cap on mobile access points, and authentication by a username and password, or an IP whitelist. Sessions are rotating, or sticky for up to 3 days.

That last point beats us. Our Premium and Mobile pools hold a sticky session for up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). If a job needs one mobile address to survive for longer than that, Proxidize is the better product for it and we will not argue.

Where we compete is the purchase. Our Mobile pool is $3.00/GB, on real phones on carrier networks in 150 countries, with US state and city targeting in the username, billed from a prepaid wallet that never resets. See mobile proxies.

Proxidize residential covers 195+ countries, with country, city and ISP targeting included in every plan. It runs HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on every residential plan. At the entry price, that is a strong package: city targeting and SOCKS5 are on the cheapest plan rather than on a premium tier.

We split the same features across two pools. Essential at $1.50/GB takes a country, a US state and a network (ASN) over HTTP. Premium at $3.00/GB adds city and SOCKS5. That is less generous at the bottom than Proxidize, and we would rather say so than hide it in a table.

Our case is US state targeting on every pool, which their residential page does not list, and one session rule published everywhere: up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential), with Premium and Mobile holding the longer figure. Their residential plan names no maximum. See residential proxies for the syntax.

Proxidize lists mobile and residential proxies, with ISP and datacenter proxies listed as coming soon behind a waitlist. Until those launch, the catalogues part here.

Our ISP product is $255 a month for a whole /24, and each subnet goes to exactly one customer, so the reputation of those addresses is yours alone. They are sold in restock windows, members first and then everyone. See ISP proxies.

We also rent Mac servers, from $32 a day or $160 a month. Proxidize sells no machines. If your work needs a real Mac alongside its proxies, that part of the decision is already made.

Proxidize has no free proxy trial, and a plan is paid for before the ID check unlocks it. Ours is 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google, so you can measure the network before you spend anything.

On refunds they offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if no more than 10 GB has been used, up to 2 refunds per account. Ours are requests within 14 days of a top-up, under the refund policy. Their window is the longer one, and that is a point for them.

Proxidize is cheaper than we are on residential and mobile, its residential data rolls over, its mobile sessions run longer than ours, and it carries certifications we do not. Its team built mobile proxy hardware before it sold bandwidth, and that depth is real. For a company that can pass a business check and runs a steady monthly workload, it is a strong buy.

The case for us is access and range. No identity check, no subscription, a wallet from $0.50 that does not reset, and static subnets and Mac servers that Proxidize does not sell today.

So: buy from them if the lowest rate and audited paperwork are the job. Come here if you would rather not send an ID, want to pay once rather than monthly, or need a subnet or a machine as well as bandwidth.

Proxidize links to its G2 and Trustpilot review pages. We quote none of the scores there; a copied figure is a claim we cannot keep current, and the pages are worth reading in full rather than through our summary.

Our own record is the trust page, and every ResiFactory price on this page is read live rather than typed in.
