ASocks

ASocks is a mid-tier proxy provider that built its reputation on one simple promise: a single flat per-GB price across residential, mobile, and datacenter pools, with no separate tiers or surprise upgrades. That pricing model — currently $3/GB pay-as-you-go for any IP type — makes ASocks an unusually flexible pick for solo operators, affiliate marketers, antidetect-browser power users, and small scraping teams who need to switch between proxy types without renegotiating a contract.

The network is advertised at around 7 million IPs spanning 150+ countries, with country, state, city, and ASN-level targeting all exposed in the dashboard. That ASN filter is a small but meaningful detail — at this price point, most competitors only let you pick a country, and a few let you pick a city. ASocks letting you combine city and ASN together is something even Oxylabs and NetNut do not offer cleanly on their entry plans. All three proxy types — residential, mobile, and datacenter — sit behind the same gateway, so you can rotate between them in the same script without juggling separate endpoints. Both HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 are supported, with rotating and sticky-session modes available.

Pricing is the headline feature. ASocks charges $3 per GB with no monthly minimum, no separate residential vs mobile price, and no usage tiers — you load a balance, you spend down against it. The only extra fee is roughly one cent per port per day for IP-whitelist authorization. Free trial bandwidth is available: typically 1 GB after email verification, and additional trial GB if you post a review on Trustpilot or G2 or message the team on Telegram. There is no traditional refund policy beyond the trial — buyers should treat the trial as the real evaluation window.

In day-to-day use, ASocks is known for three things: a clean, beginner-friendly dashboard with proxy-list generation in clipboard-ready formats, native compatibility with Multilogin, AdsPower, Dolphin{anty} and the rest of the antidetect-browser stack, and responsive Telegram-based customer support. Scraping integrations are straightforward — anything that takes a SOCKS5 or HTTP endpoint (Puppeteer, Playwright, Scrapy, n8n, Apify) will work without custom adapters. The provider does not market itself as a managed scraping API, so you build your own retry and unblock logic on top.

ASocks is a good fit if you are a freelancer or small agency doing social media management, ad verification, affiliate tracking, SEO rank checks, or multi-account work, and you want a single vendor that covers residential, mobile, and datacenter at one price. It is also worth a look for sneaker copping and ticketing where mobile IPs matter but you do not want to pay typical mobile-proxy rates. ASocks is not the right pick if you need enterprise SLAs, a managed unblocker for heavy anti-bot targets like Cloudflare-protected e-commerce at scale, or if you require a fully audited compliance posture — for those, BrightData, Oxylabs, or Decodo remain the safer enterprise choices.

Limitations to know before buying: payment options skew toward cryptocurrency and a limited set of card processors, which can be friction for some buyers. The 7M pool is solid for general work but smaller than BrightData's 150M+ or Oxylabs' 100M+ tiers, so success rates on the hardest anti-bot sites may trail the leaders. Country coverage is broad but the depth in any individual country varies — verify the regions you actually need during your trial GB rather than after committing budget.
