Independent benchmarks for the proxy industry
ProxyTrust is a proxy comparison platform built on real performance testing. We benchmark every provider on the same harness, publish the data, and update the rankings every quarter.
Verified benchmarks
Every provider is tested on identical workloads — Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai-protected targets across multiple geos and ASNs.
Editorial independence
Affiliate commissions never change a score. Providers cannot pay for a higher rating — only the data decides.
Transparent methodology
We publish the test harness, target list, and refresh cadence. Anyone can re-run the benchmarks themselves.
Our mission
Finding a reliable proxy provider in 2026 is harder than it should be. Hundreds of companies claim the "fastest" or "biggest" networks, every review site runs on affiliate dollars, and most "benchmarks" are marketing fluff. ProxyTrust exists to fix that.
We give developers, scraping engineers, SEO professionals, and AI teams accurate, unbiased, and comprehensive reviews of the world's leading proxy networks. Every provider is tested on the same rubric: IP pool size and freshness, request success rate, response time, geographic coverage, transparent pricing, and compliance.
What we do
- In-depth reviews of every major residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter proxy provider including Bright Data, Oxylabs, Smartproxy, SOAX, NetNut, IPRoyal, Webshare, MarsProxies, and ProxyEmpire.
- Real performance testing with 500,000+ monthly requests against Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, PerimeterX, and major eCommerce / SERP targets.
- Verified coupons negotiated directly with providers — every code is tested within the last seven days.
- Free proxy tools — proxy checker, latency map, anonymity test, blacklist scanner, port scanner, and 16 more utilities.
- Industry research on anti-bot bypass, CAPTCHA avoidance, scraping infrastructure, and AI data collection.
How we stay independent
ProxyTrust is free to read. We earn through affiliate commissions when you sign up with a provider through our links, and through paid listing fees for featured directory placements. Editorial reviews are never sold. If a provider performs poorly on our benchmarks, we publish the failure regardless of any commercial relationship.
