HProxy

HProxy provides residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile proxies, along with web scraper APIs. Its homepage states that its network has more than 30 million IPs. Proxy products draw from a prepaid balance rather than a subscription, and that balance does not expire. The scraper API returns structured JSON from a REST call and includes proxies, retries, and parsing. Free tools—a public proxy list, proxy checker, and IP lookup—are available without an account. Setup guides cover Python Requests, cURL, Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, Scrapy, browser extensions, and profile managers. Supported protocols include HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5. Listed product prices include IPv6 proxies at $0.10 a month, IPv4 at $1.34 a month, Residential Lite at $0.50 a month, and rotating ISP proxies at $0.65 a month. Mobile proxies have a 1 GB minimum, while web scrapers are billed per successful call from the prepaid balance. HProxy describes scraping, market research, and ad verification as use cases, and prohibits activities including credential stuffing, malware distribution, payment fraud, and denial-of-service activity.

HProxy combines proxy products, scraper APIs, and account-free lookup tools. Review product-specific billing and usage conditions, and note its prohibited-use limits.

HProxy may suit businesses using proxies or scraper APIs for web scraping, market research, or ad verification. Its integration guides may help users connecting proxy services to listed programming, browser, and profile-management tools.

HProxy is a proxy and web-scraping service for businesses that need residential, ISP, datacenter or mobile connections. It suits teams combining those workloads, especially when demand varies and a shared prepaid balance is useful. Its broad toolkit is appealing, but the starting prices do not tell the whole story: usage minimums and volume- or country-based rates matter.

Overview

HProxy brings four proxy networks and a scraper API under one account. The company says its network contains more than 30 million IPs, and supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 protocols, with both rotating and sticky IP options. That range lets users choose an access type for a task without splitting proxy purchases across providers.

Products draw from a prepaid balance with no subscription, and the balance does not expire. That structure can suit intermittent projects better than recurring billing, though it does not remove usage-based costs or product-specific minimums. The scraper API returns structured JSON from REST calls and includes proxies, retries and parsing, reducing the need to assemble those pieces separately.

Key features

Proxy and scraping toolkit

Residential Lite covers more than 200 countries and over 4 million residential IPs. Residential Premium adds sticky sessions from three minutes to 24 hours, 150 IP whitelist addresses and a 30-day statistics window. Premium Classic allows sessions up to seven days, but is kept on sale by request, so it is a less dependable choice for a standard purchase.

Rotating ISP proxies provide a fresh IP on every request, country targeting and HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 support. Static ISP proxies offer unlimited bandwidth, while IPv4 and IPv6 proxy plans also include unlimited bandwidth and ports up to 1 Gbps. Mobile proxies carry a 1 GB minimum, a meaningful constraint for small tests.

The scraper API charges per successful call from the prepaid balance and covers 23 platforms with 116 documented endpoints. Setup guides span common development tools, browsers and multi-account software, including Python Requests, Selenium, Playwright, Scrapy, Chrome, Firefox and FoxyProxy. HProxy also provides a live public proxy list, proxy checker and IP lookup without an account—useful utilities for checking an address or exploring the service before funding a balance.

Support and compliance

The pricing page says the team replies the same day, and API setup help is available by email. HProxy screens card payments before delivery; identity documents may be requested when a payment triggers a fraud signal or when required by law. It says those documents are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and deleted 90 days after review. Its prohibited-use policy bars activities including unauthorized access, credential stuffing, payment fraud, spam and denial-of-service activity, so this is not a service for those purposes.

Pricing

HProxy is paid, with a free plan and entry prices from $0.10. The shared prepaid balance does not expire, but each product has its own billing basis; the displayed monthly prices should not be mistaken for a single flat subscription covering all usage.

The low entry points are most useful when the chosen network and purchase quantity match the task: per-IP proxy costs depend on country and period, while residential pricing improves at high volume. Lite’s rate threshold of 2,000+ GB and Premium’s 1,000+ GB threshold favor larger workloads; neither should be read as the rate for every buyer. Mobile’s 1 GB minimum makes it less suitable for a tiny trial, and Premium Classic’s by-request status reduces its predictability. No seat limits or trial duration are stated for HProxy.

Platforms

HProxy supports API, extension, iOS, web and Windows. Its setup guides also cover browser automation and proxy-management tools, which is helpful for teams integrating a proxy into an existing workflow rather than using a standalone app.

Who it's for

HProxy is best suited to businesses doing web scraping, market research or ad verification that need more than one proxy type and prefer a prepaid balance that remains available between projects. The integrated scraper API is especially relevant when structured JSON and built-in retries are useful. It is a weaker fit for buyers seeking one predictable flat subscription, a very small mobile-proxy test, or a residential plan whose entry price alone settles the budget.

Pros and cons

• Pro: A non-expiring prepaid balance with no subscription supports uneven workloads without recurring commitment.
• Pro: Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile networks plus a scraper API consolidate several access needs.
• Pro: Account-free proxy and IP tools let users check basic network information without first funding an account.
• Con: Per-IP pricing varies by country and period, and residential volume rates become relevant only at high usage, complicating cost estimates.
• Con: Mobile proxies require a 1 GB minimum, which is a substantial floor for a limited test.
• Con: Premium Classic is available by request, making it less straightforward to select than the other standard plans.

Alternatives

For a residential-only shortlist, compare Residential Proxy Services; for a broader software comparison, see Proxy Software.

Decodo Residential Proxies is worth considering if a free trial matters more than a free plan; its 3 GB plan is $3.75 a month, billed monthly at $3.75/GB plus VAT. Webshare is a better match for a small free start: its free proxy server includes 10 proxies and 1 GB monthly bandwidth for an unlimited duration.

Proxiware may suit buyers who value unused-data rollover while a subscription is active; its Eco Residential plan starts at $0.15 a month. Bright Data Residential Proxies is an alternative for those seeking a no-commitment, usage-based pay-as-you-go option, priced at $4, paid once.

OctoProxy is an alternative for readers prioritizing a residential trial: its trial plan shows unlimited bandwidth, 100 threads and a 30-day duration. IPRoyal is another paid proxy service to compare, with residential proxies from $1.75 a month and coverage in 195 countries.

922 S5 Proxy is an alternative for readers seeking ISP proxies, with regular and business plans showing 12H+ IP validity and 190+ regions. BuyProxy is a web-based freemium option whose free tier includes 1 GB monthly bandwidth, one user, three concurrent sessions and 30-day analytics retention.

Verdict

Choose HProxy if your business needs multiple proxy types or scraper calls from a shared prepaid balance that never expires. Its breadth, integrated API and free lookup tools make it a practical fit for variable legitimate workloads. Look elsewhere if you need a simple all-in price, minimal mobile usage, or a predictable residential rate without high-volume thresholds.
