ProxyGuys

ProxyGuys is a niche, US-focused mobile proxy provider that has carved out a reputation in the sneaker, social media automation, and ad verification crowd. Instead of trying to be a full-stack proxy marketplace, ProxyGuys does one thing — premium USA 5G mobile IPs sourced directly from real mobile carriers like Verizon Wireless — and prices it on a flat subscription rather than per-GB. If you have been burned by residential pools that look "clean" until Cloudflare flags them, ProxyGuys is the kind of provider you graduate to.

The network is built entirely on real 5G and 4G LTE mobile connections across 50+ US cities, with one-click city switching from the dashboard. ProxyGuys does not publish a hard IP pool number the way BrightData or Decodo do, because the model is different: you get assigned a real mobile device's connection with shared NAT-style IP behaviour, which is exactly why detection rates on these IPs sit in the single digits. The provider advertises 40–60 Mbps average speeds on carrier-grade 5G and quoted detection rates of 3–8% versus 15–30% for typical residential pools. There is no global coverage here — if you need EU, APAC, or LATAM exits, ProxyGuys is not the answer.

Pricing is flat-rate and time-based, not metered. The published entry plan is $25 per week for a single multi-location proxy, with the headline $80 per month plan marketed as "most popular." Monthly single proxies have also been quoted as high as $300 depending on configuration, and bulk packs (e.g. five proxies) come with roughly 35% off. Both tiers include unlimited bandwidth, unlimited concurrent connections, and unlimited rotations — which is the real reason buyers pick a mobile-only provider over a per-GB residential plan. No credit card is required to view the dashboard, and contracts are month-to-month with cancel-anytime billing. A formal money-back guarantee is not clearly documented on the site, so confirm refund terms in writing before paying.

On the product side, ProxyGuys supports both HTTPS and SOCKS5, offers auto-rotating IPs that cycle in seconds as well as static "keep-as-long-as-you-want" sessions, and exposes city-level targeting from the dashboard. Setup is genuinely fast — most buyers report being live in under 60 seconds — and 24/7 priority support is bundled into the monthly plan. The dashboard is functional rather than fancy; there is no sprawling proxy manager like Oxylabs' or BrightData's, but it does not need one because the product surface is small.

The ideal ProxyGuys customer is a sneaker botter, a social media farmer running Instagram or TikTok accounts, an ad-verification team checking US geo placements, or anyone who needs single-digit-percent ban rates against hostile anti-bot stacks like DataDome, Kasada, and PerimeterX. ProxyGuys is not the right pick if you need worldwide coverage, per-GB billing, a scraping API, or millions of IPs for large-scale crawling — for those, BrightData, Oxylabs, Decodo, or Webshare make more sense. On the price/quality curve, ProxyGuys sits in the premium-mobile bracket: more expensive per port than Webshare's static residential, cheaper than building a self-hosted Proxidize farm, and comparable to other dedicated mobile providers like IPRoyal's mobile plans.

A few honest caveats. ProxyGuys is US-only, so anything requiring non-US exits is out of scope. Pool freshness is harder to verify than with a public residential network — you are trusting the provider's carrier relationships. Public Trustpilot reviews exist but are not abundant, and the company has a thin public footprint (no clear founding-year disclosure, limited Crunchbase data). Treat ProxyGuys as a specialist tool you add to your stack alongside a residential provider, not a one-size-fits-all replacement.
