Overview
Proxy-Cheap operates across four product lines: datacentre, mobile, residential and ISP (static residential). The provider states that its network combines rotating residential IPs, static residential IPs sold as an ISP product, and rotating mobile IPs, alongside a separate datacentre line. Access is offered over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with either username/password authentication or IP allowlisting, according to the provider. This is a general-purpose offer rather than a single-product specialist, spanning both rotating and static traffic and both fixed-IP and pooled-IP models.
What the record shows
The provider documents targeting at country, state and city level, a web dashboard with usage statistics, and support for over 100 concurrent threads. Payment is stated to include the major card networks, PayPal, Alipay and CoinGate for cryptocurrency. A 7-day trial at $1.99 is advertised for static residential, and residential top-ups are documented at a minimum of 1 GB and a maximum of 50 GB per month. On coverage, there is a discrepancy worth flagging: the provider's own marketing states “almost 200 countries and territories”, while this directory currently has 12 countries on record for Proxy-Cheap, and country-level coverage has not been independently verified here. Several fields buyers often compare are simply not documented anywhere in this record: proxy pool size, concurrent session limits beyond the stated “100+ threads”, specific support channels or response times beyond a general claim of responsive support, and any uptime or speed data. No controlled performance testing has been run by this directory, so none of the above should be read as a verified figure.
Pricing
Entry pricing is recorded per product line and the units are not comparable as numbers: Datacenter IPv6 at $0.15 per month, Rotating Mobile at $5.99 per GB, Rotating Residential at $0.78 per GB, and Static Residential (ISP) at $2.12 per IP. A monthly price buys a fixed resource for a period, a per-GB price scales with data transferred, and a per-IP price is a one-off or recurring charge for a specific address, so these cannot be ranked against each other directly. Within the subset of providers in this directory that also bill by the month, Proxy-Cheap's entry pricing is recorded as cheaper than all 27 others compared on that basis. The $0.78 per GB residential entry price is noted separately as among the lowest recorded here.
Who it suits
On the recorded specifications, this fits buyers who want a single account covering datacentre, mobile, residential and ISP traffic, with geo-targeting down to city level and a low entry cost on the residential and datacentre lines. The trial at $1.99 and crypto payment option suit smaller-scale or exploratory buyers who want to test static residential access before committing. It is less suited to buyers who need a confirmed, precise country footprint before purchase, since the “almost 200 countries” claim is provider-stated and unverified, and the directory's own record shows only 12 countries. It also does not suit anyone who needs documented pool size, verified uptime, or named support channels as a condition of purchase, because none of these are on record.
Where to look closer
Before buying, it is worth asking Proxy-Cheap directly to reconcile the “almost 200 countries and territories” claim with the narrower country list this directory has on record, and to specify which of the four product lines that country count actually applies to. Ask for the size of the residential and mobile IP pools, since neither is documented. Ask what happens beyond the stated 100+ thread concurrency limit, and whether that limit varies by plan or product line. Ask what support channels exist and what response times to expect, as “responsive, knowledgeable” support is a provider claim rather than a specified channel or SLA. Finally, ask for current per-GB or per-month pricing at the plan tier intended for purchase, since only entry-plan prices are recorded here and higher tiers may price differently.
