The ProxyEmpire alternative for one flat rate, whole subnets and Mac servers

ProxyEmpire's rotating residential starts at $3.50 for 1 GB pay as you go, shown as half off a $7/GB list price. It falls with every tier, down to $1.50/GB on the 1,000 GB plan, which bills $1,500 a month, and past that there are custom residential plans from $0.75/GB at 5 TB and up. A large, steady workload will find a rung that suits it.

Our Essential pool is $1.50/GB, from the first purchase of $0.50 onward. On their sheet, the regular plans only reach that rate on the largest one, which is a monthly commitment. If you buy less than that each month, Essential is the cheaper residential bandwidth of the two.

The fairer match is our Premium pool, because their residential tier includes the targeting we keep for Premium. Premium is $3.00/GB: below their pay-as-you-go rate and above their mid-sized plans. For city-level work at volume, their ladder wins. Our full sheet is on pricing.

Every rotating residential and mobile plan on their sheet shows two prices: the list price, struck through, and the one you pay. On the residential side, that is a limited-time 50% discount code on rotating residential plans, applied automatically on the pricing page, with static and flat-rate plans excluded.

Nothing is hidden, and the discounted price is the one we quote here because it is what you pay today. The only point is that a limited-time discount can end, so budget a long project against the number you will actually be charged. Our pools have one rate each, read live from the catalogue that bills you.

This is the clearest result on the page. ProxyEmpire's mobile starts at $4.50 for 1 GB pay as you go, shown as half off a $9/GB list price, reaches $2.96/GB on the 110 GB plan and goes down to $2.00/GB on the 1,000 GB plan. Ours is $3.00/GB at every size.

Below their mid-sized plan, ours is the cheaper bandwidth. From that plan up, theirs is, and on their largest plans the gap is wide enough that we would not ask a heavy mobile buyer to pay it. Their pool is also big: 30M+ residential and 4M+ mobile IPs in 170+ countries.

Where we compete is the small buy and the simple bill: a few gigabytes of real carrier traffic for a test or an app review, from $0.50, with no plan to pick. See mobile proxies. If you burn hundreds of gigabytes a month, their sheet is the better one.

Out of the box they offer country, region, city, ZIP, ISP, ASN and OS fingerprint targeting on rotating residential, at no extra charge. That is generous for an entry tier, and more than our Essential pool offers.

Our split is by pool. Every pool takes a country, a US state and a network (ASN) in the username; Premium and Mobile add city. If you need city targeting, compare their residential with our Premium at $3.00/GB, not with Essential.

On sessions, they advertise sticky sessions with no fixed time limit, or timed rotation up to 2 hours. We publish a fixed rule: on Premium and Mobile, a sticky session holds for up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). A stated maximum is easier to plan a multi-step flow around, but if your sessions run long, their wording is the more generous promise.

They offer HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on every plan. We run HTTP on port 7777 on every pool and SOCKS5 on port 1080 on Premium, Mobile and ISP. If you need SOCKS5 on the cheapest residential tier, that one is theirs.

Their catalogue is rotating, static and unlimited residential, rotating and dedicated mobile, and rotating datacenter proxies, with scraping APIs and no server or Mac product listed. Several of those lines have no counterpart here.

Datacenter is the obvious one. They sell rotating datacenter from $0.35/GB at 5,000 GB, or 1 GB for $2, from about 197,000 datacenter IPs in 62 countries. Ours is not on sale, and when a target does not care what kind of address you arrive from, datacenter is the cheapest traffic there is.

Dedicated mobile is another: a dedicated USA 5G device on Verizon for $20 a day, $75 a week or $250 a month, or $125 a month on a multi-country package. That is a private phone line rather than a shared pool, and we sell nothing like it. They also sell unlimited residential billed by line speed, from $200 a day at 100 Mbit.

Then static IPs in small numbers. They sell static residential IPs from $3.50 for one IP a month, down to $2.00/IP at 2,000 IPs, in 24 countries, with country-level targeting. Each one comes with unlimited traffic under a fair use cap of 100 GB per IP per month. If you need five addresses in Germany, that is their product, not ours.

Our static product includes a whole subnet. A /24 is 254 addresses for $255 a month, and each subnet goes to exactly one customer. Divide the price by the address count and set it beside their largest static pack; for a block that has to look like a real network, the subnet is the better unit.

Our ISP product is US ranges today, international to follow, sold in restock windows, members first and then everyone. That is slower than buying one address on demand, so weigh the timing before the price; ISP proxies explains a restock.

Mac servers are the other line they do not list. Ours start from $32 a day or $160 a month, so proxies and the machine that drives them sit in one account and one support queue. The table below is read live from our catalogue on every request.

Both of us let unused bandwidth wait. They offer unused GB that rolls over and never expires, with no contracts and no monthly minimums. Our wallet balance has no expiry date under normal circumstances, as our Terms set out.

The trials differ in shape. They sell a $1.97 paid trial with 100 MB of residential and 50 MB of mobile bandwidth, which you can start yourself in minutes. Ours is 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google: free, and it runs on the real product.

Refunds are where the policies part most. Theirs is all sales final, with refunds only at its discretion and never on crypto payments. Ours takes requests within 14 days of a top-up, under the refund policy, which matters most when you are unsure a provider will work on your targets.

They take card, PayPal, crypto and bank transfer, the wider list; we take cards through Stripe, or SOL. Their support is 24/7 live chat and email, with a dedicated account manager for Corporate and Enterprise clients. Ours is Discord tickets and email, answered by the people who run the network.

If you buy mobile by the hundreds of gigabytes, or residential by the terabyte, ProxyEmpire is the cheaper provider and we would not argue you out of it. The same goes for datacenter, dedicated mobile lines and small packs of static IPs abroad, which we do not sell.

If you buy residential in small or medium amounts, Essential at $1.50/GB beats their regular sheet short of the biggest plan, with no monthly commitment. Small mobile buys are cheaper here too.

The rest of the case is what they do not carry: a whole /24 sold to one customer, Mac servers, and a refund window written into the policy. If one of those is the job, the per-gigabyte comparison is beside the point.

Proxyway published a hands-on review of ProxyEmpire, first published in June 2025 and updated in October 2026, and ProxyEmpire has a Trustpilot profile, which its own home page links to; read both in full. ProxyEmpire is also a certified member of the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI), which speaks to how its pool is sourced.

Judge us on the network rather than a badge: our prices here are read live, every ProxyEmpire fact links to its page, and the trust page lists what we can prove.
