The page puts newer releases ahead of older releases and uses figures published by makers without scores. Compare free plans, paid pricing, compatibility, server versions, routing, transfers, network tools and deployment models.
Before you choose
Check free and paid access
Review the Free plan and Paid from fields together. Open-source pricing notes appear beside listings with different free-plan labels.
Minekube Connect lists a free plan and paid access from $10 per month.
Match the proxy to your setup
Compare proxy compatibility and server version support before choosing a tool. These fields show whether the software fits the servers you plan to connect.
Listed platform labels include self-hosted, Linux, Windows, API, macOS and web.
Review player and traffic controls
Fallback routing can help define what happens when a target server is unavailable. Player transfer support matters when moving users between servers.
Network admin tools provide another comparison point for managing a server network.
Choose a deployment model
Check the deployment model against your operating environment and operating habits. A self-hosted tool may suit a server you manage directly, while API or web labels indicate a different access model.
Confirm platform support alongside version support so the proxy and connected servers can work within the same setup.
