The verdict
Benchmark data and published specifications — here's where Proxyscrape lands.
- Broad product range: residential, datacenter, dedicated, mobile and a Google SERP API
- Large advertised residential pool (120M+ IPs across 195+ countries) with non-expiring traffic
- Strong datacenter value: 1,000 proxies for $25/month with unlimited bandwidth and concurrent connections
- City-level geo-targeting (country/state/city) on the residential network
- Multi-language SDKs (Python, Node.js, PHP, Go, Java, C#), documented API and a dashboard
- Crypto payments genuinely supported (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT) plus cards and regional methods
- Free trial and a still-published free rotating proxy list as a low-friction entry point
- Short 72-hour money-back window, and some users report difficulty getting refunds on larger bundles
- 99.9% uptime and other performance figures are vendor-published, not independently verified
- Free-list IPs are frequently reported as unreliable, and the dashboard/interface is described as dated
- No prominently marketed standalone ISP proxy product; ASN-level targeting is not clearly documented
- Unlimited Residential tier is expensive (around $933 for 200 Mbps/7 days), making it niche
- Headline pool size cited inconsistently across sources (older ~55M vs. current 120M+), so figures are vendor-stated

What we think after testing Proxyscrape
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last updated Jul 16, 2026
ProxyScrape is a Belgium-based proxy provider (operated by Thib BV, headquartered in Mechelen) that started in 2018 as a free public-proxy list curated by founder Thibeau Maerevoet and has since grown into a full commercial proxy marketplace. Today the company positions itself toward developers, scrapers and data teams rather than the polished enterprise crowd, and its public materials lean heavily on transparency around IP sourcing and value-for-money rather than flashy branding.
The product line is broad. According to the official site, ProxyScrape offers rotating residential proxies (advertised at 120M+ IPs across 195+ countries), an "Unlimited Residential" tier priced by sustained bandwidth rather than per-GB, premium shared datacenter proxies (a pool of roughly 40,000 datacenter IPs with unlimited bandwidth), dedicated datacenter proxies, mobile proxies, and a Google SERP API. The site still publishes a free rotating proxy list as a lead-in, a nod to the company's origins. Both HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, with SOCKS5/UDP noted on the unlimited tier, and sessions can be rotating or sticky for up to 120 minutes.
Pricing is straightforward and sits in the mid-range. On the published pricing page, residential proxies start at $35.50 for a 10 GB bundle (the tier flagged as most popular), and a notable selling point repeated across the site is that residential traffic does not expire on a monthly reset. Premium datacenter is the headline value play at $25/month for 1,000 proxies with unlimited bandwidth, while dedicated datacenter starts at $19 for 10 proxies (roughly $2.50 per proxy with unlimited bandwidth). The Unlimited Residential plan is materially more expensive, advertised around $933 for 200 Mbps over a 7-day window, which makes it a niche pick for sustained high-throughput jobs rather than an entry point. Mobile proxy pricing mirrors residential bundle structure. The lowest published entry point overall is the $19 dedicated bundle.
On features, ProxyScrape covers the fundamentals expected of a modern provider: API access with documented endpoints, SDKs across multiple languages (Python, Node.js, PHP, Go, Java, C#), a dashboard for traffic management and monitoring, and a browser extension. Geo-targeting is supported down to country, state and city level on the residential network. Payments are flexible: the official terms list crypto options including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and USDT alongside cards and regional methods, and the company runs a dedicated "buy proxies with Bitcoin" page. A CoinGate case study reports that crypto accounts for roughly a third of ProxyScrape transactions, underscoring that crypto checkout is genuinely supported rather than nominal. The risk-free side is thin but present: a free trial is offered, plus a 72-hour money-back guarantee on purchases.
ProxyScrape advertises a 99.9% uptime guarantee and 24/7 human support, and on Trustpilot it carries roughly a 4.2/5 rating across 450+ reviews, which is a decent sample for the category. Reviewers tend to praise the price-to-performance ratio, the unlimited-bandwidth datacenter tiers, responsive live-chat support and non-expiring residential traffic.
There are honest caveats. The 99.9% uptime figure is a vendor-published guarantee, not an independently verified benchmark, and we have not lab-tested the network, so all performance claims here should be read as advertised specifications. Several user reviews flag that IPs from the free list often do not work, that the dashboard/interface can feel dated, and that obtaining refunds on larger traffic bundles can be difficult. The 72-hour refund window is short compared with the 3-to-7-day windows some competitors offer. Datacenter proxies, while cheap and fast, are inherently easier for strict anti-bot systems to detect than residential or true ISP IPs, and ProxyScrape does not prominently market a standalone ISP product the way some rivals do. ASN-level targeting is not clearly documented. Finally, the residential pool figure has been cited inconsistently across third-party reviews (older write-ups reference ~55M IPs versus the 120M+ now shown on the homepage), so prospective buyers should treat headline pool numbers as vendor-stated.

4
Hook responses into your APM
Configure retries on the client side and route Proxyscrape responses into your APM (Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry) so you catch ban-rate spikes early.
-
5
