How to read this proxy comparison
Compare proxy pricing
Always compare on the same unit — $/GB for residential and mobile, $/IP/month for datacenter and ISP proxies. Watch for hidden bandwidth caps, sticky session length limits, and overage fees. Bright Data and Oxylabs publish enterprise pricing on request; Smartproxy, SOAX, IPRoyal, and Webshare show transparent self-serve pricing.
Compare proxy speed
Speed is measured as median response time (TTFB + body) on identical target URLs. ISP / static residential proxies (NetNut, Bright Data ISP, Smartproxy ISP) typically beat residential pools by 200–500 ms. Datacenter proxies are the fastest but easiest to detect.
Compare IP pool sizes
Bigger isn't always better — fresh, clean IP pools beat large but stale ones. SOAX runs a smaller (~8.5M) but tightly curated pool; Bright Data runs the largest (150M+) verified residential network.
Compare success rates
Success rate is the % of requests returning 2xx through Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, and PerimeterX-protected targets. This is the metric that determines whether your scraping infrastructure ships data on time. Anything below 90% on premium targets is unacceptable for production workloads.
Frequently asked questions about proxy comparison
Find answers to the most common questions about proxy providers and our comparison tools.
ProxyTrust runs a fixed test harness against every provider on the same target list (Cloudflare-protected sites, SERPs, eCommerce stores, Akamai endpoints) and measures success rate, latency, and bandwidth on identical workloads. Marketing claims are stripped; only the raw numbers reach this comparison table.
Webshare and IPRoyal lead the cheapest verified proxy providers tier with starting prices under $3/GB and free trials. For enterprise volume, Bright Data and Oxylabs negotiate down to $2.50–$4/GB at 1 TB+ commitments.
Bright Data's residential network exceeds 150 million IPs in our 2026 audit. Oxylabs is second with 100M+, NetNut runs 52M+ ISP-linked IPs, and Smartproxy maintains 65M+ rotating residentials.
Success rate is the percentage of requests that returned a 2xx status against a target site behind anti-bot protection. ProxyTrust tests Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai, Imperva, and major eCommerce / SERP targets to compute the published score.
Yes — every provider is re-tested every quarter on the same harness. Affiliate relationships do not change the score; you can re-run our checks yourself with the free proxy testing tools at /tools.
