How Proxy Costs checks and compares prices

Current coverage

The site tracks 713 plan records from 47 providers. The latest automated run recorded 225 price checks; 209 are still inside their source-check window. Of those, 140 have a GB or IP price that can answer the matching buying question.

The latest automated recheck covers 24 of 47 tracked providers. Published prices checked within the last 30 days can still be compared, with the check date shown beside every amount.

Latest source check: 2026-09-27T07:15:31.727Z. The dated comparison window closes at 2026-10-27T07:15:31.727Z.

Where prices come from

Checks start with the provider's own pricing page, pricing API, checkout, documentation, terms, or help pages. Reviews, competitor tables, search snippets, and memory are not accepted as price sources.

Each accepted price keeps the provider URL and check time. The public comparison links the human buying page separately from the source used to check the number.

If the provider's own pages disagree, no single amount is chosen. The plan says that the pages disagree and does not compete.

Current, recent, and unknown

Rechecked means the source check is still inside its provider-specific automation window and the sources agree.

Dated means a trustworthy published price is still inside the 30-day comparison window. It may compete with prices using the same unit and billing schedule, and its check date remains visible.

Unknown means the price is missing, too old, blocked behind an unreadable page, available only after using a provider calculator, or disputed by the provider's own sources. The amount is withheld rather than estimated.

How the amount is calculated

The comparison chooses the least expensive published package that covers the amount requested. A smaller fixed package is never stretched, and a larger tier's lower rate is never applied to a smaller purchase.

Pay-as-you-go traffic can extend at the published rate when the provider sells additional traffic at that rate. A fixed package extends only when the provider publishes an overage price.

Effective cost is the checkout total divided by the amount the buyer said they need. If 50 GB requires a 55 GB package costing $105, the effective cost is $105 divided by 50, or $2.10 per GB used; 5 GB may go unused.

IP packages follow the same rule. A 100-IP package bought for a 25-IP need shows the checkout total, 100 IPs included, 75 IPs that may go unused, and the total divided by 25.

What is kept separate

GB traffic, IP subscriptions, flat unlimited access, and quote-only offers are separate price types. They are never ordered against each other.

One-time purchases, monthly subscriptions, and longer prepayments are separate billing choices. The buyer selects one schedule before a lowest-price result appears.

The site runs no proxy performance tests. Any third-party performance figure must name the tester, source, and check date and remains separate from price.

Dates and failed checks

The header says when the current-price file was built. Each price says when its own provider source was checked. Those dates answer different questions and can differ.

When the validity time passes in a browser, current rows are removed and the warning appears. Without JavaScript, the page warns that it cannot confirm current status and tells the reader to check the date and provider page.

A failed new collection does not receive a new check time. The earlier record remains stored internally for research, but it does not become a current public price.

Public files and retained records

The public JSON and CSV contain coverage totals only. Individual plan downloads and detailed price history are withheld until provider-by-provider reuse rights and the history method are approved.

Earlier checks continue to be stored internally so a later collection does not erase what was seen before.
