Ping Proxies

Ping Proxies is a UK-based proxy provider that punches above its size in the mid-market, built originally to serve the sneaker-copping crowd and now positioned for web scraping, automation, and data collection at scale. The company was incorporated in 2020 by founder Timur Gok and has spent its years building a reputation for clean IP sourcing and a genuinely useful dashboard rather than the largest pool on the market. Note for buyers: in April 2026 Ping Proxies rebranded to Byteful, with infrastructure still reachable via residential.pingproxies.com and api.pingproxies.com during the transition, so the two names refer to the same product.

On network, Ping Proxies runs four product lines: rotating residential, static residential (ISP), dedicated datacenter, and mobile proxies. The residential pool typically shows 1.5M+ IPs online live on the dashboard with a broader claimed footprint of 35M+ addresses across 195 countries, and you can filter by country, city, ASN, and ZIP code. What sets Ping Proxies apart is transparency on sourcing — residential and ISP IPs trace back to Tier-1 ASNs like Spectrum, AT&T, Comcast, and Telia, which is why third-party testing (Proxyway) clocked 99.7%+ residential success rates in the US and UK and a 100% success rate for ISP. Datacenter proxies sit in New York, Miami, and Germany in ISO-certified facilities, and the ISP pool runs north of 100k purchased IPs.

Pricing is segmented by product. Residential is pay-as-you-go per GB, starting around $1.50/GB with bandwidth that never expires and rolls over if you pause a subscription. Static residential ISP is priced per IP from roughly $2.25/IP/month, datacenter is per-IP (the dashboard shows packages around $1.20–$1.60/IP depending on volume), and mobile is per-GB from about $2.25/GB. There is no traditional free trial — instead you can place a small order (a single IP or a small bandwidth top-up) to test before committing. Volume discounts run up to 64% with larger quantities and longer terms (10% quarterly, 20% annual), and custom enterprise pricing kicks in above 1,000 IPs or 1,000GB.

The product features worth calling out: HTTP and SOCKS5 support across the residential network, sticky sessions configurable up to 24 hours, unlimited concurrent sessions, and Smartpath — an in-house traffic-optimization engine that analyzes requests and silently routes a portion through datacenter IPs without hurting success rate, which Ping Proxies says cuts billable residential bandwidth by up to 60%. The dashboard is one of the strongest in this tier, with live pool-size indicators, per-request analytics, and network observability. Payments are unusually flexible: all major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and a wide crypto menu (BTC, ETH, SOL, XMR, BNB, USDT). Support runs Europe daytime hours on weekdays with slower 24/7 coverage, delivered via email, ticket, Discord, Telegram, and dedicated Slack channels for scale-up and enterprise accounts.

Who should pick Ping Proxies? Mid-market scrapers, automation teams, and ad-verification operators who want clean Tier-1 residential and ISP IPs with honest dashboard metrics and a bandwidth-saving angle (Smartpath), without paying BrightData or Oxylabs enterprise rates. It is also a sensible choice for sneaker and multi-accounting use given the company's roots and Kameleo/anti-detect browser partnerships. Who should not? If you need a single 100M+ IP pool, exhaustive country-level coverage in every emerging market, or a pre-built no-code scraping API with managed unblocking, the larger incumbents (BrightData, Oxylabs) or a budget volume player (Webshare, Decodo) may fit better.

Limitations to know before buying: the residential pool, while clean, is smaller than the giants, so very long-tail geos can have thinner availability. There is no full free trial, so factor in the small test order. Datacenter locations are limited to three regions, and support, while well-reviewed, is centered on European business hours — overnight US tickets may see slower turnaround.
