Smartproxy Alternatives

Smartproxy has made a name for itself as a preferred choice in the proxy market with its rotating proxies, exceptional user experience, and premium performance. Yet, diverse needs call for different solutions. Whether it’s for more features, a lower entry point, or unlimited traffic plans, there are several notable alternatives in the market.

FineProxy – The Cost-Efficient and Versatile Newcomer

FineProxy emerges as a competitive service, boasting one of the most affordable pricing in the market. It offers proxies from as low as $0.06 per IP and provides a range of packages including shared and private proxies. With support for HTTP, HTTPS, Socks4, and Socks5 protocols, FineProxy presents a flexible solution with unlimited traffic and multiple IP subnetworks per package. Additionally, its dual authentication system for paid proxies ensures security while a free trial allows users to test services beforehand​.

Oxylabs – The Premium Contender

Oxylabs stands out as a more luxurious counterpart to Smartproxy with an expansive pool of over 102 million IPs and specialized APIs for ease in web scraping. However, its sophistication comes with a steeper price and a limited self-service option, starting at $180​.

Bright Data – The Feature-Rich Powerhouse

Bright Data goes a step further, offering a suite of powerful proxy management tools and additional features, such as proxy-based web scraping APIs and even complete data sets. It supports all proxy types and offers a flexible pay-as-you-go model, but its cost and technical complexity may be prohibitive for some users​.

SOAX – The SMB-Friendly Alternative

SOAX caters to small and medium businesses with a lower entry cost starting at $75. It provides a smaller but reliable pool of residential and mobile IPs, with excellent city and ASN targeting over 100 locations, although it lacks dedicated proxies and web scraping APIs​.

IPRoyal – The Economical Scalable Solution

IPRoyal sells affordable residential proxies with prices starting at $3/GB. It offers flexible rotation and more than 100 locations to choose from, fitting a pay-as-you-go model. However, its IP pool is limited to 100,000, and it may throttle under heavy load​.

Storm Proxies – The Budget-Friendly Pick

Storm Proxies provides a cost-effective alternative for web scraping with access to a pool of 200,000 datacenter and residential IPs, and unlimited bandwidth from just $14. Despite its affordability, it offers limited locations and lacks country targeting​.
