What we think after testing PlainProxies
Auto-composed from our test rig data + structured profile · last refreshed May 31, 2026
PlainProxies is a residential and datacenter proxies provider operating from their USA headquarters (founded 2020). Simple and reliable proxy service. In our directory, PlainProxies sits in the mid-tier — capable but not the standout choice for every workload.
On the infrastructure side, the network advertises 1M+ IPs, 50+ countries. Our nightly test rig recorded a 96.0% success rate, 1.1s average response time against the standard target panel (Google SERP, Amazon, Cloudflare-fronted retailers, social platforms). The single-product focus keeps the dashboard simple but limits flexibility for teams whose workloads change shape over time.
Pricing starts at $2.00/GB, which is competitive. Volume buyers should expect to negotiate — every provider in this category quotes higher rates on the public site than what enterprises actually pay. Compliance documentation is thin on the public site — confirm in writing before any contract that requires SOC 2 or DPA assurances.
