A SwiftProxy alternative for smaller, flexible proxy budgets
SwiftProxy is the closest residential competitor we have, and on a few lines it is the better shop. It sells single static IPs, an unlimited plan and documentation in three languages. What it does not sell is mobile or servers, and its fixed-plan pricing is a steeper way in than a wallet.

SwiftProxy runs three residential products and no others: rotating residential, static residential sold one address at a time, and an unlimited plan quoted by sales. There is no mobile pool and no server range. That is a coherent catalogue, and for a residential-only buyer it is a genuine alternative to us rather than a compromise.
We read their pricing pages, their documentation site and their company details, and dated every fact. Their prices are list prices before a discount code their own pricing page prints, and we have said so on the page rather than quoting the discounted figure.
Our advantages are narrower here than on most of these pages: a smaller way in, a mobile pool, Mac servers, and a cheaper per-gigabyte rate in the middle of the range. Their advantages are real too, and they get a section of their own.

What SwiftProxy sells
Their catalogue is rotating residential proxies, static residential (ISP) IPs sold one at a time, and an unlimited residential plan sold by quote. Three products, all residential, all aimed at the same buyer.
The pricing model is fixed plans, with the price per GB falling as the plan grows. That is the opposite of a wallet: you pick a size, you pay for it, you get that rate until the plan runs out.
The company behind it is Mescent Network Inc., Limited, Hong Kong. Support runs on Telegram, Discord and email, and there is a Trustpilot page with 9 reviews.
Price: two models, not just two numbers
SwiftProxy's entry point is a 5 GB plan at $3.00/GB, $15.00 in total. At volume, $2.20/GB on its 100 GB plan on the middle plan, and $1.20/GB at 1,000 GB, down to $0.70/GB at 10,000 GB.
Their list is list prices, before the 5% code its pricing page prints under every plan. The full ladder is from $3.00/GB on a 5 GB plan down to $0.70/GB at 10,000 GB, in fixed plans. We have kept the pre-discount figures because the discount is a promotion and promotions change; the structure is the thing worth comparing.
Our equivalent is a wallet. Essential is $1.50/GB and Premium is $3.00/GB, drawn from a balance that starts at $0.50. For a small test, that is a much lower floor: their smallest plan commits you to a block before you have run a single request.
For a large, steady residential bill, their volume rate is competitive and their unlimited plan is something we do not offer at all. This is the one section where the right answer genuinely depends on your usage curve.
Protocols and sessions
They support HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, which puts them ahead of providers that only speak HTTP.
On sessions, they publish sticky sessions up to 180 minutes. Our rule is up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). Premium beats their maximum, Essential does not: the Essential pool's supply holds a shorter session, and we publish that rather than quoting the top figure for the whole catalogue.
That is worth planning around. If you need long sessions on the cheapest tier, theirs is the better fit on that single line, and we would rather say so than let you discover it after a failed run.
Coverage and concurrency
SwiftProxy offers country, state and city targeting and 195+ locations, by its own count, by its own count. It states unlimited concurrent sessions, by its own statement.
Our pools cover 150 countries, with country, US state and ASN in the username on every pool and city on Premium and Mobile. Concurrency is not metered on our side, and we do not publish a cap we then walk back.
The practical difference is where the targeting lives. Theirs is a purchase-time choice; ours is a field in the username, which means one credential can serve many locations without a new plan. The API reference documents each field.
Static IPs: the product we do not have in that shape
SwiftProxy sells single static IPs at $6.00 per IP per 30 days, in US cities and other regions. That is a genuinely useful product, and it is one we do not offer.
Our ISP product includes a whole subnet at $255 a month, one customer per subnet. It is the right unit when the addresses need to look like a real network, and the wrong unit when you need a handful of fixed exits.
If your job is a small set of static addresses, their per-IP model is the better answer and cheaper than buying a block you will not fill. If it is a block, ours is priced plainly and nobody else shares it.
The missing mobile pool
SwiftProxy has no mobile proxies listed. For a residential-only catalogue that is consistent, and it means there is nothing to compare.
ResiFactory Mobile is $3.00/GB on real phones attached to carrier networks in 150 countries, with US state and city targeting. It is the pool you need when a target checks the connection type rather than the address alone.
If you are considering SwiftProxy and your roadmap includes mobile testing, the honest advice is to count that as a future migration rather than a gap you can live with.
Servers and Macs
They list no servers listed. We do not sell VPS or bare metal; we rent Mac minis, from $32 a day or $160 a month, with a day rental counted from when the machine is ready.
The catalogues do not overlap here. If you need a Linux box, neither of us is the specialist; if you need macOS for a build or a browser test, that is our side.
Trials, expiry and support
SwiftProxy offers a free trial, claimed through its support, and its traffic is non-expiring traffic. Both of those are fair and we would not argue with either.
Our equivalent is 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google, and a wallet that does not expire under normal circumstances, as our Terms set out.
Support is Telegram, Discord and email on their side and Discord tickets plus email on ours. Both are chat-first shops, which is the right shape for this product.
The verdict, in one paragraph
SwiftProxy is a credible residential specialist. Single static IPs, an unlimited plan, three languages of documentation and a SOCKS5 endpoint are all things a technical buyer may reasonably want, and two of the three we simply do not sell.
The decision comes down to shape. Their fixed plans commit you to a block; our wallet starts at $0.50 and follows your usage. Their entry rate is a 5 GB plan at $3.00/GB, $15.00 in total against $1.50/GB on our Essential pool, so the cheaper first test is unambiguously ours.
Beyond residential, the catalogues stop competing. They have no mobile pool and no Mac servers; we have both. If residential at volume is your entire need, take their quote seriously. If you need anything else, this page is short.
ResiFactory is the right call if
- You want a cheaper entry rate. Their smallest plan is a 5 GB plan at $3.00/GB, $15.00 in total; our Essential is $1.50/GB with a wallet from $0.50.
- You need mobile proxies. They list no mobile proxies listed; ours is $3.00/GB in 150 countries.
- You need a Mac server. They list no servers listed; ours start at from $32 a day or $160 a month.
- You want a prepaid wallet instead of a fixed plan. Ours does not expire, and you can spread it across pools.
- You need a longer sticky session than their published maximum on every pool: ours runs to up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential).
- You want a company you can look up. Theirs is Mescent Network Inc., Limited, Hong Kong; ours is a US LLC on the trust page.
When SwiftProxy is the right call instead
- You need a few static IPs rather than a subnet. SwiftProxy sells single static IPs at $6.00 per IP per 30 days, in US cities and other regions; our smallest ISP purchase is 50 single IPs.
- You want an unlimited residential plan. They offer an unlimited residential plan, priced by quote; we sell metered bandwidth only.
- You want documentation in French or Traditional Chinese. They publish GitBook docs in English, French and Traditional Chinese.
What public reviews say
Linked, not quoted. We copy no review score onto this page.
SwiftProxy has a Trustpilot page with 9 reviews. We link it rather than quoting the figure, so you can read it at its current date and in its own context.
For us, the trust page lists what we can prove about the business rather than what we would like you to believe.
Switching from SwiftProxy
Sign in with Google, Apple, email, a passkey or Discord, then top up from $0.50. No plan to size before you can test.
Their line format and ours are both host:port:user:pass, so an existing script needs only the new string.
Country, state, city, ASN and session length go in the username. The API reference documents the syntax per pool.
If you were on one of their volume plans, run the wallet against the same targets for a month and compare the metered bill, not the headline rate.
To measure before paying, use 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google.
