An XYZ Proxies alternative, compared on facts

First, the naming. The brand is TheXYZStore, at thexyzstore.com. People search for XYZ Proxies, land on a storefront called TheXYZStore, and reasonably wonder whether they have found the right place. They have.

The catalogue is static ISP and datacenter IPs, Mac mini M4 leases, Windows VPS and Windows bare metal. That is a hardware-and-IP shop rather than a proxy network, and it is priced accordingly: a 30-day subscription per IP.

One detail worth noticing before the rest: their homepage carries a banner saying coupons are disabled and prices already include the discount. A shop that has stopped advertising discounts is usually a shop that knows its prices are already competitive, and that is worth respecting.

Start here, because everything else is secondary. Their acceptable-use policy lists scraping or collecting data from platforms that prohibit it among prohibited uses, and their terms state that it does not condone, promote or support the use of its services for scraping.

We are not going to speculate about how strictly either is enforced. What we can say is that a buyer whose entire purpose is data collection is relying on a policy that names their purpose as forbidden, and that is a risk that belongs in the decision, not in the fine print after it.

ResiFactory permits lawful web scraping and data collection, and says so in its own terms. We do not permit sanctioned destinations or unlawful use, and we state that plainly rather than gesturing at it.

Static IPs sold to people who cannot use them for their stated job is a strange product position. It is not a reason to call the shop dishonest, but it is a reason to read the policy before the price.

XYZ has no rotating residential product and no mobile proxy product. Both lines are hardware-shaped products: static addresses that stay put, and machines to run them from.

Ours are the opposite shape. Essential is $1.50/GB and Premium is $3.00/GB, with a fresh exit per request or one address held for up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). Mobile is $3.00/GB on real phones on carrier networks in 150 countries.

If your work is static, this gap does not matter. If it is not, there is nothing on their side to compare against, and the rest of this page is about everything else they do well.

See residential proxies and mobile proxies for the pools themselves.

Their static range is well built. Home ISP starts at Home ISP proxies from $1.50 per IP at high quantity, fixed line at Fixed Line ISP proxies from $1.70 per IP, and datacenter from datacenter IPs from $1.45 per IP. You can buy packs of 25, 50, 100, 150 or 200 IPs, or a private /24 of 254 IPs, or a private block, with a smallest purchase of 25 IPs.

We sell single IPs from $1.25 per IP a month (minimum 50 IPs), or a whole /24 for $255 a month, billed monthly, and each whole /24 goes to one customer. A /24 is the right unit when the block has to look like a real network and the wrong unit when you need a handful of addresses. Their 25 IPs minimum is the better fit for the latter.

One thing to note about their pricing: not published for a whole /24, so a buyer who wants a block cannot compare on price without asking. Ours is published on this page and read live from our catalogue.

Location is the other difference. Theirs are Ashburn, VA by default, with New York and Chicago on request. Ours are US ranges today, international to follow, and each subnet is released in a restock window rather than sold instantly.

XYZ is vague on protocol support: not stated. Authentication is username and password authentication only.

That combination is simple and it works, but it limits what you can plug in. We run HTTP on port 7777 on every pool and SOCKS5 on port 1080 on Premium, Mobile and ISP, so a SOCKS5-only tool has something to talk to.

If your stack is HTTP with a username and password, none of this matters. If it is not, ask them which protocols the subnet answers on before you buy a block.

Their Mac range is genuinely good. M4 with 16 GB and a 256 GB SSD at $480 per 90 days, M4 with 24 GB at $550 per 90 days, and M4 with 32 GB at $600 per 90 days. The ports are 1 Gbps ports, and access is a remote desktop connection, with credentials sent by email.

Two of those builds are beyond our catalogue, and memory is not something you can work around on a browser workload. If you need the larger configuration, they are the only one of us who will sell it to you.

The term is where we differ, and it is a big difference. They sell a 90-day lease only, with no shorter term. We bill from $32 a day or $160 a month, and a day rental starts when the machine is ready. For a weekend of testing, that is the difference between a day's cost and a quarter's.

The table below is read live from our catalogue on every request, so the price and stock you see are current.

Their refund position is stated plainly and it is severe: a strict policy: by purchasing a service you waive your right to a refund.

Ours is a request within 14 days of a top-up, handled under the refund policy. Neither policy is unusual for its model, but only one of them gives you a window.

Support is the customer portal or Discord, Monday to Friday. On our side it is Discord tickets and email, and the people answering run the network.

Sign-in is email, Google or Discord. There is no Trustpilot profile, so there is no third-party page to read before you buy, and we link nothing rather than implying one exists.

XYZ is a competent hardware and static-IP shop with three Mac builds, Windows servers and small IP packs. On those products it is better than us, and on two of them we have nothing to sell at all.

But the policy is the deciding fact. Their acceptable-use policy names data collection from prohibited platforms, and their terms say they do not support scraping. If you are buying a proxy to collect data, that is the sentence to weigh against the price.

If your work is static IPs, Windows servers or a larger Mac build, buy there and read the policy first. If it is rotating, mobile, a Mac by the day or a refund window, it is here.

There is no third-party page to link: as of the date we checked, no Trustpilot profile.

For our side, the trust page lists the things we can prove, and the terms list the uses we permit and refuse.
