TL;DROur verdict on AstroProxy, in 5 facts
- 1Armenia-based provider founded in 2018, grown from the Airsocks mobile-proxy team
- 2Advertises 50M+ ethically sourced IPs across 100+ countries (residential ~82, datacenter ~59, mobile ~27)
- 3Entry pricing: residential from $7.30/GB, datacenter from $3.65/GB, mobile from $13.14/GB, plus $0.30/port
- 4Best for multi-accounting, SEO, ad verification and light scraping, especially in Eastern European/Russian regions
- 5Strengths are flexible billing and crypto support; main caveats are US pool depth and mixed speed reports
The verdict
Benchmark data and published specifications — here's where AstroProxy lands.
- Very low entry point: buy from 100 MB with no monthly commitment (around $0.37-$0.73 to start)
- Bills only the heavier traffic direction (upload or download), not both, which lowers effective cost
- Residential, mobile (4G/5G) and datacenter proxies all available from one account
- HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, rotating and sticky sessions, plus country/city/ISP targeting
- Accepts cryptocurrency alongside fiat and offers a small free test credit
- Single, beginner-friendly dashboard plus fast multi-channel support (Telegram, WhatsApp, chat, email)
- Integrates with antidetect browsers like Multilogin and AdsPower for multi-accounting
- Residential pool is skewed to Eastern Europe/Russia; US coverage is smaller than the 50M headline suggests
- Independent and user reports flag inconsistent speed and streaming/buffering issues for heavier use
- Per-GB rates sit above the cheapest market leaders and don't scale well for high-volume enterprise needs
- No dedicated ISP proxies, no browser extension, and no managed scraping/unblocker or SERP API
- Refund policy is referenced but exact terms are not disclosed on the site; free-test amount is inconsistently stated
- Multiple overlapping payment gateways can cause checkout confusion

What we think after testing AstroProxy
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last updated Jul 16, 2026
AstroProxy is a proxy network founded in 2018 and headquartered in Armenia. It grew out of the team behind Airsocks, an earlier mobile-proxy service aimed at multi-accounters, traffic arbitrageurs and SEO specialists, and that lineage still shows in its positioning: AstroProxy markets itself primarily at people managing many accounts, running ads, doing SEO monitoring and scraping data, rather than at consumers looking for a VPN replacement. On its published specifications the company advertises a pool of roughly 50 million IPs spanning more than 100 countries, all of which it describes as ethically sourced and whitelisted before they reach customers.
The catalogue covers three proxy types: residential, mobile (4G/5G from real carrier devices) and datacenter. There is no dedicated ISP-proxy product or a managed scraping/unblocker API in the style of the larger Western vendors — AstroProxy is a more traditional pay-for-bandwidth proxy service rather than a full data-collection platform. Independent testing by independent reviewers note the country coverage differs by product (roughly 82 countries for residential, 59 for datacenter and 27 for mobile), so the headline 100+ figure is best read as the aggregate across all networks.
Pricing is one of AstroProxy's more distinctive aspects. The site lists residential traffic from $7.30 per GB, datacenter from $3.65 per GB and mobile from $13.14 per GB, with a per-port fee of $0.30 (or roughly $0.10 on pay-as-you-go). What stands out is the granularity: you can buy as little as 100 MB without a monthly commitment, which means the practical entry point is around $0.37 for a small datacenter top-up or $0.73 for residential. AstroProxy also bills only the heavier of your two traffic directions (upload or download) rather than counting both, an unusual and customer-friendly metering choice. City-level targeting is available but multiplies the base rate by about 1.5x. There is a free test funded with a small credit (commonly cited as around $3, sometimes arranged through support), and the footer links to a refund policy, though the exact terms are not published on the landing page.
Feature-wise the service is well-rounded for its category. It supports HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 protocols, rotating sessions that can be triggered by timer, on each new connection or via API, and sticky sessions for workflows that need a stable IP. Targeting can be set by country, city and ISP/carrier, and the network is OpenVPN-compatible and supports up to 250 concurrent TCP connections per port. Everything is managed from a single web dashboard that reviewers consistently describe as clean and beginner-friendly, with proxy type, geo, rates and traffic all visible in one window. There is an API for automation and balance top-ups in both fiat and cryptocurrency. Customer support is offered across Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, email and live chat, and is frequently praised for being fast and helpful — a meaningful plus given the technical setup involved. AstroProxy also integrates with popular antidetect browsers such as Multilogin and AdsPower, reinforcing its multi-accounting focus.
The weaknesses are worth taking seriously. The most consistent independent caveat is geographic skew: the residential network is strongest in Eastern Europe and Russian-speaking regions, and the US pool is smaller than the headline 50M figure implies (independent testers observed roughly 30,000 unique US IPs in one test snapshot). Both the service and its proxy network historically cater to that region, so US- or Western-focused users may find coverage and consistency weaker than with the largest global providers. Speed and reliability reports are mixed: some testers found residential and streaming performance slow and prone to buffering, and one long-term reviewer cancelled after a frustrating month. Pricing, while flexible at the low end, does not scale aggressively for high-volume enterprise buyers — the headline per-GB rates sit above the cheapest market leaders once you need bulk traffic. There is also some friction around multiple overlapping payment gateways, and there is no browser extension or first-party SERP/unblocker product.
On reputation, AstroProxy carries a Reviews.io score of around 4.37 from over 1,100 reviews, a reasonable signal, though as always with proxy vendors the sentiment is mixed and use-case dependent. It is also important to note that AstroProxy does not publish independently audited performance benchmarks; figures such as success rates and response times that circulate online come from third-party testers rather than the vendor, and should be treated as point-in-time snapshots rather than guarantees.
