TL;DROur verdict on The Social Proxy, in 5 facts
- Owned 4G/5G mobile proxy hardware (not P2P), founded ~2021, reported HQ in Israel
- Mobile entry point around 89 EUR (4G) / 119 EUR (5G) per location per month with unlimited bandwidth
- Also sells residential proxies (~4.67 EUR/GB) and AI scraper/SERP/finance APIs
- Locations limited to roughly five countries; no documented city or ASN targeting
- Vendor-published 99.99% uptime and 40-400 Mbps; third-party-reported ~90% social-media success and ~4.3 Trustpilot
The verdict
Benchmark data and published specifications — here's where The Social Proxy lands.
- Runs its own 4G/5G modem hardware instead of a third-party P2P network, yielding genuine carrier-assigned mobile IPs
- Real dedicated mobile proxies are very hard for platforms like Instagram to detect or block (CGNAT-based)
- Strong fit for social-media automation with documented compatibility for Jarvee, Multilogin, Incogniton, Socinator and Nextpost
- Automatic IP rotation configurable via API, plus real-time access logging
- Multiple billing models (monthly, 6-month, yearly, and pay-as-you-go usage-based)
- Broader product range than the name implies: mobile, residential (~4.67 EUR/GB) and AI scraper/SERP/finance APIs
- Roughly 4.3 Trustpilot rating and a free trial for new users
- Very narrow location coverage (about five countries: US, UK, Austria, Germany, Israel)
- Premium per-proxy mobile pricing (~89-119 EUR/month per location) that multiplies across regions
- Short 3-day refund window compared with longer guarantees from larger rivals
- Limited self-service: changing a proxy's region historically requires contacting support
- Weak IP whitelist/authentication support; username/password only is commonly cited
- Some recent Trustpilot reviews report unresponsive support and questions about service reliability

What we think after testing The Social Proxy
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last updated Jul 10, 2026
The Social Proxy (thesocialproxy.com) is a proxy provider that built its name on premium 4G/5G mobile proxies and has since broadened into residential proxies and a suite of AI-powered scraper APIs. According to its own marketing and multiple independent reviews, the company launched around January 2021 (first promoted on BlackHatWorld) and is reported to be headquartered in Israel. Its defining characteristic is that it operates its own modem racks rather than leaning on a third-party peer-to-peer network, which means the mobile IPs it hands out come from real carrier-assigned mobile devices it physically controls.
The mobile proxy product is the flagship. The site advertises 5G and 4G mobile proxies across a small set of locations, most commonly listed as the USA (New York and Texas), the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, and Israel. Connection speeds are quoted at 40 to 400 Mbps and the company advertises 99.99% uptime, both vendor-published figures rather than independently measured ones. The mobile network uses CGNAT and supports automatic IP rotation configured via API, plus real-time access logging. Because each mobile proxy is a dedicated device, the pool is effectively unlimited per proxy in terms of IP rotation rather than a counted IP pool. Reviewers note one practical limitation: changing the assigned region historically required a support request rather than a self-service dashboard toggle.
Beyond mobile, The Social Proxy lists residential proxies priced around 4.67 EUR per GB according to current third-party reviews, positioning them as a cheaper option for tasks like market research and content verification. The company does not publicly disclose a residential pool size, so any IP-count figure should be treated as unknown. The third pillar is its AI scraper / data API range: reviews cite a Professional scraper and a Finance API at about 7.38 EUR per 1,000 requests, a SERP scraper at roughly 2.89 EUR per 1,000 requests, and additional endpoints for maps, sports data, and reverse lookup. These are managed APIs that handle proxy rotation for you, so no manual proxy configuration is needed.
On pricing, the mobile entry point is the most consistently cited figure: roughly 89 EUR for a 4G mobile proxy and 119 EUR for a 5G proxy per location, billed monthly with unlimited bandwidth. The company also offers 6-month, yearly, and pay-as-you-go (usage-based) billing models. Note that prices are quoted in euros across sources, and adding proxies in multiple locations multiplies the cost. A free trial is mentioned for new users, and there is a 3-day money-back guarantee rather than the longer refund windows some larger providers offer.
For features, authentication is username/password; multiple reviews flag that IP whitelisting/authentication is not well supported. Browser-extension compatibility for Chrome and Firefox is mentioned, and the proxies are explicitly marketed as working with social-automation tooling like Jarvee, Socinator, Nextpost, Follow Liker, Multilogin, and Incogniton. The platform exposes an API for rotation and access logs and provides a dashboard, though location switching through it is limited. City-level and ASN-level targeting are not documented as supported, and crypto payment support is not confirmed on the sources reviewed, so both should be treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed.
Who is it for? The Social Proxy is squarely aimed at social-media managers, agencies, and automation users who need a handful of genuinely clean, hard-to-detect mobile IPs in specific Western locations and are willing to pay a premium per proxy. Independent testers have reported success rates around 90% on major social platforms (a third-party-reported figure, not a lab benchmark of ours), and Trustpilot shows a roughly 4.3 rating. The owned-hardware model is the real selling point here: dedicated mobile devices are much harder for platforms like Instagram to flag than shared P2P residential exits.
The caveats are meaningful. Location coverage is narrow (around five countries), which makes this a poor fit if you need broad global geo-targeting. The mobile pricing is high relative to gigabyte-billed residential networks, and the lack of self-service location switching, limited IP-auth support, and undisclosed residential pool size are friction points. More importantly, some recent Trustpilot reviews report unresponsive support and concerns about whether the service is fully operational, so prospective buyers should verify current status and test within the 3-day refund window before committing to a longer plan. None of the speed, uptime, or success-rate numbers here are independently verified, they are vendor-published or third-party-reported, and the review is framed on those published specifications rather than our own testing.
