FleetProxy Alternative
FleetProxy is not a separate network from ProxyEmpire: both hostnames resolve to the same nine gateway IP addresses on the same port, and they served 57% of the same exit IPs on same-day runs. FleetProxy charges $2.12/GB at 100 GB and publishes 30M+ residential IPs. Shifter runs 205M+ across 195+ countries from $0.75/GB, and publishes measured live IP counts rather than pool claims.

Why use Shifter residential proxies?
A Third of the Price at Every Tier
FleetProxy is $2.65 per GB at entry and $2.12 at 100 GB, reaching $1.59 only if you buy 500 GB at $795 up front. Shifter is $1.00 at 100 GB and $0.75 from 200 GB, every tier published without a sales call.
More Live IPs in All Five Markets
On an identical test we measured 279,244 live Shifter addresses against 193,480: 22% more in the United States, 17% more in Britain, 73% more in Canada, 79% more in Germany, and nine times the pool in France.
Roughly Twice as Fast
364 ms against 922 ms in the United States and 324 ms against 994 ms in Canada, both measured over plain HTTP so the timings compare directly. FleetProxy is consistent rather than erratic, its p95 is tight, it is simply slower.
It Is Not a Separate Network from ProxyEmpire
FleetProxy and ProxyEmpire resolve to the same gateway hosts on the same port, use the same username format, and on runs taken the same day returned 57% of the same exit addresses, rising to 90% in Germany. If you are comparing the two, you are comparing two front ends onto substantially one pool.
Where FleetProxy Is Genuinely Good
Its geo accuracy ran 99.5% to 100%, better than ours in the United States, and Britain is its strongest market: 194 distinct networks against our 193 and 1,971 cities against our 1,842. We would not argue with anyone choosing it for British work on precision alone.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about switching from FleetProxy to Shifter.
About 53% at comparable volumes. FleetProxy is $2.12 per GB at 100 GB where Shifter is $1.00, and its best published rate of $1.59 needs a 500 GB purchase at $795 against Shifter's $0.75 from 200 GB.
They share an identical set of gateway hosts on the same port, use the same username format, and on runs taken the same day served 57% of the same exit addresses, rising to 90% in Germany. Two genuinely separate networks we tested the same way shared 0.1%. We cannot tell you how the companies relate, only what the addresses show.
FleetProxy publishes 30M+ residential IPs against Shifter's 205M+. Those are lifetime totals, so we publish measured tests alongside them: across five countries Shifter served 279,244 live IPs against FleetProxy's 193,480, and FleetProxy completed only half to two thirds of its requests, so its real figure is somewhat higher.
Yes. Both networks were measured across five countries under an identical test on 25 August 2026, with the full results, the failure rates and the method at /benchmark/fleetproxy.
Same coverage for a third of the cost
More live addresses in every market we measured, answering roughly twice as fast, at $0.75 per GB. Published method, repeatable results.
