TL;DROur verdict on MarsProxies, in 6 facts
- 1Cheapest entry points in the category: 1 GB residential for $4.99, one datacenter IP for $0.99/day, one ISP IP for $1.39/day; the advertised $1.65/GB floor requires a 10,000 GB ($16,500) order.
- 2Residential traffic never expires; ISP, datacenter and mobile are per-IP for 1, 30, 60 or 90 days with no pay-as-you-go option.
- 3Vendor-stated pool of 1M+ residential IPs across 195 countries with region, country, US-state and city targeting; no ASN or ZIP targeting documented, no unblocker or scraping API.
- 4"Unlimited" ISP and datacenter bandwidth is subject to a published fair-usage cap of 100 GB per proxy per 30-day cycle, after which speeds drop.
- 5Contracting entity is Comet Tech Inc. in Panama City; the vendor's llms-full.txt states affiliation with the IPRoyal group and the DPA selects Lithuanian law.
- 6No free trial, no SOC 2 or ISO 27001, no independent benchmarks published; crypto payments are non-refundable to source. Trustpilot 4.5/5 from 385 reviews, mostly about support.
The verdict
Benchmark data and published specifications — here's where MarsProxies lands.
- Lowest-friction entry in the category: 1 GB residential for $4.99, one datacenter IP for $0.99/day, one ISP IP for $1.39/day, with no contract or minimum order
- Residential traffic never expires and can be topped up incrementally or via auto top-up
- Sticky sessions configurable from 1 second to 7 days; region, country, US-state and city targeting on residential at no extra cost
- Retailer-specific setup guides (Nike SNKRS, Footlocker, Zalando, Kith, Supreme) and dedicated retail subnets reflect genuine drop-day heritage
- 24/7 live chat, email and Discord; Trustpilot 4.5/5 across 385 reviews, most of them praising support response times
- Card, PayPal, AliPay, Google Pay and crypto via CoinGate; sub-user API supports reseller workflows
- Pool is small: the vendor's own 1M+ IP figure is a fraction of the 30M-150M pools quoted by larger residential networks
- "Unlimited bandwidth" ISP and datacenter plans are throttled after 100 GB per proxy per 30-day cycle under the published fair-usage policy
- Crypto payments are never refunded to source; card refunds are limited to confirmed defects in the first 24 hours or accidental orders under 100 MB
- Banking, government, identity-provider, ticketing/marketplace and gaming-network targets are restricted by default; iDenfy ID verification may be required to lift them
- Panama contracting entity (Comet Tech Inc.), no SOC 2 / ISO 27001, and no independently published benchmarks; enterprise procurement will push back

What we think after testing MarsProxies
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last updated Oct 15, 2026
From sneaker-drop tool to general-purpose budget proxy
MarsProxies did not start life as a data-collection vendor. The domain was registered in January 2020, and by late 2021 the site billed itself as a "Private Sneaker Proxies Provider". A late-2023 rebrand widened the catalogue to four public products, but the heritage is still visible: the help centre opens with retailer-specific guides for Nike SNKRS, Footlocker, Zalando, Kith and Supreme, and a dashboard-only "Sneaker Proxies" datacenter SKU still exists without a public price list. The current site does not state a founding year.
The corporate picture is more tangled than the marketing. The contracting entity across the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy (all dated 30 August 2026) is Comet Tech Inc., incorporated in the Republic of Panama at Advanced Tower Building, Ricardo Arias Street, Panama City. Yet the vendor's own llms-full.txt describes MarsProxies as "part of the broader IPRoyal organization", and its Data Processing Agreement selects Lithuanian law and courts. It is a Panama-registered brand with Baltic roots, not a US company.
Pricing: a genuinely low entry, with fine print
Residential traffic is the headline product and the only true pay-as-you-go line. The smallest order is 1 GB for $4.99, sliding to $3.99/GB at 10 GB and $2.99/GB at 100 GB, down to the advertised $1.65/GB floor, which requires a 10,000 GB ($16,500) purchase. Traffic never expires. ISP and datacenter IPs are sold per proxy per duration: datacenter is $0.99/IP for one day at any quantity, or $1.99/IP for 30 days ($1.19 at 1,000 IPs); ISP is $1.39/IP for one day (the "$1.35" floor needs 500+ IPs) or $2.99/IP for 30 days. Mobile proxies cost $8.49 per proxy per day or $95.00 for 30 days, with no per-GB metering.
Three caveats temper the "unlimited bandwidth" language on ISP and datacenter plans. The help centre's fair-usage policy caps 30-day-and-longer orders at 100 GB per proxy per 30-day cycle, pooled across the order, after which speeds are reduced. The ISP FAQ notes that city and state targeting "comes at a small additional fee" and that prices vary by country. And there is no free trial; the vendor's answer is to buy one IP for one day.
Network and features
The vendor claims a residential pool of 1M+ IPs across 195 countries (its docs say "190+ locations"), with region, country, US-state and city targeting at no extra cost; ASN and ZIP targeting are not documented. Sessions rotate per request or hold sticky for 1 second to 7 days via password-string parameters. HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 work on every product, with username/password or IP-whitelist authentication. A REST API unlocks only after a first residential purchase of at least 1 GB; sub-users support reseller workflows. MarsProxies does not publish independent latency or success-rate benchmarks; the 98.4% residential success figure, the 99.99% uptime and the "100% success" line on mobile and sneaker proxies are the vendor's own claims.
Policies, payments and support
Payment runs through Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, AliPay, Google Pay and cryptocurrency via CoinGate. The Terms make services non-refundable except when defective in the first 24 hours; the help centre adds narrow windows for accidental orders (under 100 MB used) and unwanted renewals, and states that crypto payments are never refunded to source, only credited to account balance. Identity verification through iDenfy may be requested, and banking, government, identity-provider, ticketing/marketplace and gaming-network targets are restricted by default. Support is 24/7 live chat, email and Discord with no published SLA; Trustpilot shows 4.5/5 from 385 reviews, mostly praising support. No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 is listed; a DPA with EU SCCs is published.
Who it suits
MarsProxies makes sense for individuals and small teams who want a cheap, contract-free way to buy a few gigabytes of residential traffic or a handful of dedicated IPs,, and for the retail-drop crowd the brand was built for. Two things should be said plainly: sneaker copping with bots and running multiple accounts frequently breach retailer and platform terms of service, so users carry that risk themselves; and the pool is small next to the 30M-plus networks of larger rivals, with no unblocker, no scraping API and a Panama contracting entity that enterprise procurement will question.

How to get started with MarsProxies
A 5-minute walkthrough from sign-up to your first successful request. Total setup time: ~10 minutes.
-
1
Register and pick a product line
Sign up at dashboard.marsproxies.com with email or Google; no card is required to browse. Products are separate order flows: Residential (per GB), ISP, Datacenter and Mobile (per IP per duration). A dashboard-only Sneaker Proxies datacenter SKU also appears for retail work. Identity verification via iDenfy may be requested later for restricted targets.
-
2
Choose a tier and pay
Residential starts at 1 GB for $4.99; the first residential purchase of 1 GB or more also unlocks the API token. ISP and datacenter can be tested with one IP for one day ($1.39 and $0.99 respectively); mobile with one proxy for one day ($8.49). Enter AFFINCO15 in the coupon box for 15% off. Pay by card, PayPal, AliPay, Google Pay or crypto via CoinGate, remembering that crypto is never refunded to source.
-
3
Build the residential proxy string
The endpoint is ultra.marsproxies.com:44443. Targeting and rotation are appended to the password with underscores: _country-us_state-texas or _country-de_city-berlin for location; _session-<8 chars>_lifetime-10m for a sticky session (1 second to 7 days). Omit the session parameters for a new IP on every request. HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 are all accepted; IP whitelisting is available as an alternative to credentials.
-
4
Configure ISP, datacenter or mobile orders
ISP and datacenter orders are static, dedicated IPs chosen by country; tick Auto extend if you want the order to renew, and consider the optional 0 Fraud Score tier if reputation matters. Mobile proxies can auto-rotate every 10 minutes. Keep the fair-usage policy in mind: on 30-day-plus ISP and datacenter plans, combined usage beyond 100 GB per proxy per cycle is throttled.
-
5
Test on your real target before scaling
Run a small batch against your actual destination within the first 24 hours, since that is the window for ISP and datacenter replacements and for the Terms of Service defect refund. Check the status page (status.marsproxies.com) if something looks off, and use 24/7 live chat or Discord for replacements. Banking, government, identity-provider, ticketing and gaming-network targets are restricted by default and may need verification.
