HProxy

HProxy is a proxy service and web-scraper API for individuals and teams with varied traffic needs. It suits users who want several proxy types and scraping tools from one prepaid balance. Its breadth is useful, but the lowest prices come with billing terms that vary by product.

Overview

HProxy brings residential, datacenter, ISP and mobile proxies together with an API that returns structured JSON from REST calls. The service says its network has more than 30 million IPs and supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with both rotating and sticky IP options. That range is a practical advantage when different tasks need different network types; it does not make every plan interchangeable, so match the product to the workload.

Products draw from a shared prepaid balance, with no subscription and no expiry. That suits intermittent use better than a recurring commitment, though usage-based pricing can still make costs vary. A public proxy list, proxy checker and IP lookup are free to use without an account.

Key features

Proxies and scraping

Residential Lite spans more than 200 countries and 4 million-plus 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, making it a less dependable choice for anyone who needs a standard, readily available plan.

Rotating ISP proxies provide a fresh IP on each request, country targeting, and HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 support. Static ISP proxies instead offer unlimited bandwidth. The scraper API includes proxies, retries and parsing; its stated offering covers 23 platforms and 116 documented endpoints, and charges per successful call. That combination can reduce the need to assemble scraping infrastructure separately, but per-call billing merits attention at higher volumes.

Setup and support

Setup guides cover common coding tools including Python Requests, cURL, Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, Scrapy and Axios, as well as browser and profile-management tools. HProxy says its team replies the same day; API help is available by email. The breadth of guides is useful for varied setups, though it does not remove the work of configuring a proxy or API for a particular workflow.

Responsible use

HProxy names web scraping, market research and ad verification among its legitimate business uses. It prohibits activities including unauthorized access, credential stuffing, malware distribution, payment fraud, mass fake-account creation, spam and denial-of-service activity. Card payments may be screened, and identity documents may be requested when a payment triggers a fraud signal or the law requires them. HProxy says submitted documents are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and deleted 90 days after review.

Pricing

HProxy is paid, with a free plan and a stated starting price from $0.10. Products use a shared prepaid balance; there is no subscription, and funds do not expire. The product prices below are stated per month, but several are usage or per-IP rates rather than a complete fixed monthly allowance.

• IPv6 Proxies: $0.10 a month. Per-IP prices depend on country and period; bandwidth is unlimited, with port speeds up to 1 Gbps.
• IPv4 Proxies: $1.34 a month. Per-IP prices depend on country and period; bandwidth is unlimited, with port speeds up to 1 Gbps.
• Residential Lite: $0.50 a month, pay as you go. Volume rates reach $0.44/GB at 2,000+ GB. Its country coverage and IP pool make it the broad-entry residential option, while actual spending depends on traffic.
• Residential Premium: $1.49 a month. Volume rates reach $1.00/GB at 1,000+ GB; the plan includes sticky sessions, 150 whitelist addresses and a 30-day statistics window.
• Residential Premium Classic: $1.49 a month. Available by request, with sticky sessions up to seven days.
• ISP Proxies Rotating: $0.65 a month, with no subscription. It rotates to a fresh ISP IP on every request and supports country targeting and three protocols.
• ISP Proxies Static: $2.50 a month. Per-IP prices depend on country and period; bandwidth is unlimited.
• Mobile Proxies: $1.50 a month, pay as you go, with a 1 GB minimum and sticky sessions up to seven days. That minimum makes it a less natural fit for very light mobile-proxy use.
• Web Scrapers: $1.49 a month, pay per successful call from the prepaid balance. The offering includes 1,000 successful calls, 23 platforms and 116 documented endpoints.

The cheapest entry points are not necessarily the cheapest way to serve a particular workload: proxy rates can depend on country and period, residential rates depend on volume, and mobile use starts at 1 GB. Readers choosing on a headline price should first estimate their likely traffic and check the applicable rate.

Platforms

HProxy supports API, extension, iOS, web and Windows. Its setup guides span programming libraries, automation frameworks, browsers and proxy-management tools, giving technical users several routes to integration.

Who it's for

HProxy is a good fit for businesses doing scraping, market research or ad verification that can benefit from several proxy network types and a scraper API in one prepaid account. The non-expiring balance suits irregular demand, while the network and integration breadth gives teams room to choose different setups. It is less compelling for buyers who need predictable fixed monthly costs or want to avoid usage minimums and variable rates.

Pros and cons

• Pro: One non-expiring prepaid balance covers products without a subscription, which suits workloads that fluctuate.
• Pro: Residential, datacenter, ISP and mobile proxies, plus rotating and sticky options, give users more ways to match a network to a task.
• Pro: The scraper API bundles proxies, retries and parsing, and returns structured JSON from REST calls.
• Pro: Free public lookup tools work without an account, offering basic proxy and IP checks before purchase.
• Con: Per-IP pricing varies by country and period, and residential costs depend on volume, making the entry prices poor stand-ins for a usage budget.
• Con: Mobile proxies require at least 1 GB, a material constraint for small one-off needs.
• Con: Premium Classic is available only by request, which makes its long sticky-session option less straightforward to plan around.

Verdict

Choose HProxy if your work benefits from several proxy network types, an integrated scraper API and a prepaid balance that does not expire. Its strongest advantage is the breadth of tools under one billing balance; its main drawback is that variable rates and the mobile minimum complicate budgeting. Readers who need fixed allowances or a simpler cost structure should compare alternatives before committing.
