Froxy

Froxy is a mid-market proxy provider that sells residential, mobile, and datacenter proxies on a pay-per-GB model, positioning itself as the affordable middle ground between premium incumbents like Bright Data and Oxylabs and the rock-bottom subscription crowd like Webshare. It is built for small-to-mid sized scraping operations, SEO agencies, social media managers, and ad verification teams that want serious geo-targeting and SOCKS5 support without committing to enterprise contracts. The headline pitch is a 10M+ residential IP pool with sub-$3/GB pricing — a combination that is hard to match at this tier.

The network covers 200+ locations with targeting down to country, region, city, and even ISP/carrier level, which puts Froxy in the same feature class as the premium players for geo precision. The residential pool is described as ethically sourced peer-network IPs, and Froxy supports both rotating and sticky sessions with configurable session length from 90 seconds up to 3,600 seconds (one hour). On top of residential, Froxy sells mobile proxies (LTE/4G), datacenter IPs, and a "Fast Proxies" tier that overlaps with shared/ISP-style proxies. Up to 1,000 parallel ports per account is supported, which is more headroom than most budget providers give you.

Pricing is per-GB, which is standard for the residential/mobile category. Residential proxies start around $2.93/GB on entry plans, with a 7GB minimum purchase — that is the main pricing catch worth flagging, since competitors like Decodo and Webshare let you start at 1GB. Mobile proxy traffic is priced around $9/GB, which is competitive against SOAX and NetNut. Froxy also offers a $1.99 three-day trial that includes 100MB of residential traffic, and unused bandwidth rolls over to the next billing cycle as long as you renew on time. There is no published flat-rate unlimited tier on residential — this is strictly a metered-bandwidth product.

The standout features are the SOCKS5 support across every proxy type (not just HTTP/HTTPS), configurable sticky sessions up to 60 minutes, and a dashboard that gives you per-port traffic stats and granular geo controls. Froxy supports HTTP(S), SOCKS5, multithreading, and API integration, so it slots into Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, and n8n workflows without friction. Customer support is 24/7 via live chat and email, and the company has a 4.8 Trustpilot average — better than most providers in this price bracket. The traffic rollover policy is genuinely useful if your scraping load is bursty.

Froxy is the right choice if you are a freelance scraper, a small agency, or an indie SaaS team that wants residential and mobile IPs at roughly one-third the per-GB cost of Bright Data, with city and ISP targeting included rather than gated behind enterprise plans. It is not the right choice if you are running mission-critical scraping against the hardest anti-bot targets (Cloudflare Enterprise, PerimeterX, DataDome at scale) — buyers consistently report that success rates on heavily protected sites can be inconsistent compared to Bright Data or Oxylabs, and the IP pool feels more recycled than the top-tier networks at peak hours.

The trade-offs worth knowing up front: the 7GB residential minimum locks out true micro-budget users, the pool freshness on the lowest-tier plan is noticeably weaker than premium alternatives, and Froxy does not yet have the same anti-bot bypass reputation as the unblocker-style scraping APIs from Bright Data or Decodo. Treat Froxy as a high-quality budget pick for general scraping, account warming, SERP collection, and ad verification — not as a drop-in replacement for an enterprise scraping infrastructure stack.
