The Proxyrack alternative when you do not want a monthly plan

Proxyrack is one of the broader catalogues in this market. It sells unlimited, premium and private residential plans, rotating and static datacenter, mobile proxies and a web scraper API. Its residential network is large, with 35 million+ monthly residential IPs across 140+ countries, and it offers country, city and ISP targeting on top of it.

That breadth is real, and if you need several of those products from one dashboard it is a genuine reason to stay. A team that scrapes at scale, tests from datacenter ranges and wants a managed scraping API can buy all three from Proxyrack. From us, it can buy one of them.

What ties the catalogue together is the billing model. Every product is a monthly subscription: a block of gigabytes, a number of threads, or a number of ports, renewed each month. That model is predictable and, at volume, cheap. It is also the thing most people on this page are trying to get away from.

Our catalogue is narrower and built the other way round. Rotating residential and mobile bandwidth by the gigabyte, from a prepaid wallet with no plan; static ISP proxies; Mac servers by the day or the month. The rest of this page is the detail behind that split.

Proxyrack's Premium Residential costs $110 a month for 100 GB, or $1.10 per gigabyte. It sells monthly plans from 100 GB to 1,000 GB, with a yearly option that saves 17%. On a large plan, its per-gigabyte rate is below ours, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Our rates are $1.50/GB on Essential and $3.00/GB on Premium. Read against a committed monthly plan, the comparison favours Proxyrack the more you buy.

The comparison changes when you do not need a hundred gigabytes. Proxyrack's smallest Premium Residential plan is still the full monthly price, whether you use all of it or a tenth. Our wallet takes any amount from $0.50, so a small job costs what the small job uses.

So the arithmetic has a crossover. If you reliably burn through a large monthly block, Proxyrack is cheaper. If your usage is small, spiky or seasonal, paying only for what you use is the cheaper model even at a higher rate. See pricing for our full sheet.

Proxyrack's most popular product is Unlimited Residential, billed by concurrent connection rather than by data. It starts at $300 a month for 100 threads, at $3.00 per thread, with unmetered bandwidth, and at scale it falls to $2,000 a month for 2,000 threads, or $1.00 per thread. There is also Private Residential, from $299.90 a month, priced per port with unlimited data.

We have no equivalent. Every ResiFactory pool is billed by the gigabyte. If your workload moves a great deal of data through a fixed number of connections, an unmetered plan can be far cheaper than any per-gigabyte rate, ours included.

The trade is the same one as before: an unmetered plan is a monthly commitment sized in threads, and a thread you are not using still costs money. If your connection count is steady and high, Proxyrack is the better buy for this. If it is not, a meter you only pay when you use is easier to live with.

Proxyrack's mobile product starts from $44 a month. Its mobile page lists $1.10 per gigabyte on a build-your-own plan, or 50 GB for $50 a month, on a pool of 1.4 million+ mobile IPs in 70+ countries. That is a lower per-gigabyte rate than ours, and a wide spread of countries.

ResiFactory Mobile is $3.00/GB, on real phones attached to carrier networks, with country, US state, city and ASN targeting. It comes out of the same wallet as everything else, from $0.50, with no monthly plan in front of it.

If you run mobile traffic every month at a steady volume, Proxyrack's price wins. If you need a carrier exit for a short test, a single campaign or a week of QA, you do not need a subscription for it, and we do not ask you for one. See mobile proxies for how the pool is built.

Proxyrack offers sticky ports that keep an IP for a set time, usually 10, 20 or 30 minutes, adjustable in the dashboard, and rotating ports that change the IP on every request. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 and UDP on every plan, and allows up to 90,000 concurrent threads on Premium Residential. That protocol list is wider than ours: UDP in particular is not on it.

Our sticky rule is up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential), and the long hold belongs to Premium and Mobile. That matters for a sign-in or a multi-step form that has to finish on the same address. If your flows fit inside a short window, the difference will not show; if they do not, it is the row to read.

On targeting, Proxyrack gives country, city and ISP targeting. Ours is set in the username: country, US state and ASN on every pool, and city on Premium and Mobile. HTTP runs on port 7777 on every pool, SOCKS5 on port 1080 on Premium, Mobile and ISP.

Proxyrack sells static US ISP IPs from a shared pool. A shared pool is a reasonable product for steady US work, and it is quick to start on.

Ours is different in kind. A subnet is $255 a month for a whole /24, and each one goes to exactly one customer, so the reputation of those addresses is yours to keep. Subnets are sold in restock windows, members first and then everyone. See ISP proxies for how a restock works.

Mac servers are the other gap. Proxyrack's catalogue is unlimited, premium and private residential plans, rotating and static datacenter, mobile proxies and a web scraper API, with no Mac on it. Ours are from $32 a day or $160 a month, with a day rental from $32, 24 hours counted from when the Mac is ready, so a short test costs a short test.

Proxyrack offers a $5 trial of Unlimited Residential for 3 days, plus a 3-day money-back guarantee on every plan. The trial is a quick, paid way in. Ours is 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google.

The refund policy is narrower than the headline. It allows refunds only on card and PayPal payments made through Paddle, and on Premium Residential only for unused gigabytes, within 72 hours of purchase. Plans are subscriptions that renew until cancelled, with no refund on a renewal you did not cancel in time. None of that is unusual for a subscription business, but it is worth knowing before you buy the largest plan to get the best rate.

Our model avoids the question. A top-up is spent at your pace, does not renew, and does not expire under normal circumstances. Refund requests are taken within 14 days of a top-up, under the refund policy.

Proxyrack lists 24/7 technical support. Ours is Discord tickets and email, answered by the people who run the network.

Proxyrack is the broader network and, for a buyer who commits to a large monthly plan, the cheaper one. It sells unmetered residential, datacenter and a scraping API, none of which we sell, and it lists UDP, which we do not. If your usage is steady and high, Proxyrack is a sound choice and this page should not talk you out of it.

Our case is the buyer that model does not serve. If you want residential or mobile bandwidth without a subscription, a sticky session held longer on Premium and Mobile, a /24 that belongs to you alone, or a Mac for a short job, we sell it and they do not.

So: stay with Proxyrack for volume and breadth. Come here when you want to pay for what you use, from $0.50, and nothing renews behind your back.
