The PyProxy alternative for card payments, finer targeting and static subnets

Start with the number that brought you here. PyProxy's smallest residential package is $5 for 2 GB, which is $2.50 per gigabyte. The ladder falls with volume to $0.72 per gigabyte at a terabyte, once the bonus traffic is counted, and bottoms out at $0.67 per gigabyte on its largest residential package, with the launch bonus counted. Every rung includes up to 60% bonus traffic during its relaunch sale, which is why the effective rate is lower than the sticker.

Our rates are $1.50/GB on Essential, $3.00/GB on Premium and $3.00/GB on Mobile, one price per pool whatever you buy. At their entry package the gap is narrow, so a small buyer should compare the two directly. At volume, PyProxy is cheaper than our Essential pool on residential, and the gap widens the more you buy.

One caution: a share of that rate is the relaunch bonus, and a launch sale is not a permanent price. Price your second top-up, not just your first.

If price per gigabyte is the only variable, buy from PyProxy. The rest of this page is about the variables that are not price. Our full sheet is on pricing.

PyProxy's own footer says the site is operated by an independent team that took over from the original PYPROXY team in 2026. Its terms name the operator as HONGKONG LINGYUN NETWORK MDT INFOTECH LIMITED, a company registered in Hong Kong. The domain's current registration dates from 7 August 2026, according to the .com registry. Put together, that is a brand with a history and an operator with a short one.

We do not read that as a verdict. Businesses change hands, and a new team can run a network well. We read it as a diligence question. Reviews written before the change describe the original team, not the one you would pay today. Ask what came across with the name, the pool and the infrastructure included.

Their terms are plain about what they promise, which is to their credit. They also say there is no contractual uptime figure and no service credits, so the uptime figure on the home page is an aim rather than a commitment. Our trust page lists what we can show rather than what we claim.

PyProxy takes cryptocurrency only, with card payments listed as on the way. The accepted coins are USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, LTC, TRX, BNB and more. For a buyer who already holds stablecoins, that is fast.

It also changes the shape of a dispute. Their refund policy is a full refund of unused traffic within 7 days, paid back in the cryptocurrency you sent, less network fees. Because crypto has no chargeback, the refund is a new payment from them to you, and the amount is fixed in coins rather than dollars. That is a fair policy, and still a different promise from a card refund.

Their AML policy sets out identity checks once purchases pass the equivalent of USD 1,000 in a 30-day period, a sensible control worth knowing about before you buy in volume.

We take Visa, Mastercard and Amex through Stripe, or SOL, into a prepaid wallet from $0.50. Refunds are requests within 14 days of a top-up under the refund policy. If your finance team needs to pay by card, that alone may decide this page.

PyProxy's pool is 90M+ residential IPs across 195+ countries, and country selection is free on every line. That covers a lot of real work: price checks, search results and ad checks that only care about the country.

Below the country, it stops. Their residential targeting is country level only, with cities, states and ASNs not selectable on the residential pool. The cities on their locations page show where the pool has addresses, not ones you can pick.

Ours sits in the username. Every pool takes a country, a US state and a network (ASN), and Premium and Mobile add city. If your results change by metro, or you need one carrier's network, no per-gigabyte saving buys that back. See residential proxies for the syntax.

PyProxy offers a new address per request, or a sticky session of up to 30 minutes. That is enough for most scraping, and too short for a long sign-in that has to finish on one address.

Our rule is up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential), so for a long flow on one address, Premium or Mobile is the pool to use.

On protocols PyProxy is generous. It runs HTTP(S) on port 1111 and SOCKS5 on port 2222 on the same credentials, with SOCKS5 carrying TCP only, and authentication is a username and password, or an IP whitelist. We run HTTP on port 7777 on every pool and SOCKS5 on port 1080 on Premium, Mobile and ISP.

PyProxy also sells something we do not: SOCKS5 by the IP, from $0.045 per IP, each bound to a local port by its S5 Manager app. For one fixed address per browser profile, bought in bulk, it fits better than anything we sell.

PyProxy's catalogue is rotating residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies, plus static ISP, dedicated datacenter and per-IP SOCKS5, all on one balance. On bandwidth that is broader than ours.

Mobile is from $2.38 per gigabyte, on live SIMs in 21 countries. Ours is $3.00/GB, on real phones on carrier networks, with US state and city targeting. Theirs is cheaper; ours targets more finely.

On static addresses the two catalogues answer different questions. PyProxy sells dedicated static ISP IPs from $3.00 a month, kept for up to 12 months, the right buy for a few long-lived addresses. We sell single IPs from $1.25 per IP a month (minimum 50 IPs), or a whole /24 for $255 a month, and each whole /24 goes to exactly one customer, so the reputation of that block is yours alone. See ISP proxies for how a restock works.

And we sell Macs, which PyProxy does not: a day rental from $32, 24 hours counted from when the Mac is ready.

On residential price, PyProxy wins, and it wins clearly at volume. It also sells datacenter, rotating ISP and per-IP SOCKS5, which we do not, and its traffic is sold as gigabytes that do not expire. If you pay in crypto and only need a country, it is a strong offer.

The case for us is everything around the gigabyte: card payments, state and city targeting, sessions on Premium and Mobile that hold for up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential), whole static subnets and Mac servers. And the operator question is one to answer for yourself: a brand that changed hands this year is not a reason to walk away, but it is a reason to ask before you load a large balance.

So: buy from PyProxy if price and crypto are the whole job. Come here if you need to pay by card, target below the country, or hold a session past half an hour.

We quote no review scores for PyProxy here. More to the point, anything written before the change of operator its own footer describes is about the original team, so read any review for its date as well as its verdict.

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