What we think after testing The Social Proxy
Auto-composed from our test rig data + structured profile · last refreshed May 26, 2026
The Social Proxy is a residential and datacenter proxies provider operating from their USA headquarters (founded 2018). Mobile proxies optimized for social media. In our directory, The Social Proxy sits in the mid-tier — capable but not the standout choice for every workload.
On the infrastructure side, the network advertises 2M+ IPs, 50+ countries. Our nightly test rig recorded a 98.5% success rate, 0.9s 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 $150.00/GB across 2 published tiers, which sits at the premium end of the category. 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.
