FleetProxy Review
Not a separate network from ProxyEmpire: same gateway addresses, same port, and 57% of the same exit IPs on the same day.
The short version
- FleetProxy and ProxyEmpire resolve to the same nine gateway IP addresses on the same port, and served 57% of the same exit addresses on runs taken the same day, rising to 90% in Germany.
- FleetProxy served 193,480 live IPs across five countries, second only to Webshare on pool depth in this series.
- Its 2,154 distinct operators are the second widest spread we have measured, behind Shifter.
- Geo accuracy is a genuine strength: 99.5% to 100% across all five markets, better than our own in the United States.
- It completed only 49.5% to 67.6% of the standard test, with redirects making up almost all of the shortfall.
At a glance
What we measured
Live IPs each network had answering during the same test window, five countries, identical request volumes and concurrency for both sides.
| Country | FleetProxy | Shifter | Networks |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 112,402 | 136,667 | 1,482 |
| United Kingdom | 45,743 | 53,506 | 194 |
| France | 3,734 | 33,581 | 46 |
| Canada | 19,306 | 33,485 | 217 |
| Germany | 12,295 | 22,005 | 215 |
It shares a network with ProxyEmpire
This is the first thing to know, because it changes what a comparison between the two is worth. A DNS lookup on residential-v2.fleetproxy.io and v2.proxyempire.io returns the same nine IP addresses. Both answer on port 5000, both issue usernames as r_ followed by ten hex characters, and both show the same intermittent blank responses under load.
More conclusively, we ran both on the same day and compared the actual exit addresses. They shared 57% of them: 110,593 addresses in common out of roughly 194,000 each. In Germany it was 90%. For scale, two genuinely separate networks we tested the same way that day shared 0.1%.
We cannot tell you who owns what, and we are not going to guess. What the measurements support is narrower and enough: if you are weighing FleetProxy against ProxyEmpire, you are weighing two front ends onto substantially one pool, and picking between them on pool size is not a real choice.
What the network does well
Pool depth is genuinely good. 193,480 live addresses across five countries puts it second in this series behind Webshare, and its 2,154 distinct operators are second only to ours. Those are strong figures, and they come from partial runs, so the real pool is larger still.
Geo accuracy is its standout result. Between 99.5% and 100% of successful requests exited in the country asked for, including a perfect score in Germany. That is better than Shifter managed in the United States, where we measured 97.4%, and it is the one dimension where we would not argue with anyone choosing them.
Britain is its best market outright. It reached 194 distinct British networks against our 193 and covered 1,971 cities against our 1,842, while holding 45,743 addresses live against our 53,506.
Where it struggles
It does not complete the test. Across the five markets it answered between 49.5% and 67.6% of requests, and almost every failure was a redirect rather than a timeout. Single requests succeed reliably, so this only appears under concurrency. We are not going to name a cause our runs cannot isolate, but a client that loses a third of its requests at 1,000 concurrent is a real operational fact.
Response times are roughly double ours on identical transport: 922 ms against 364 ms in the United States, 994 ms against 324 ms in Canada. Its p95 figures are actually tighter than ours, so it is consistent rather than erratic, just slower.
France is the weak market. 3,734 addresses across 46 networks against our 33,581 across 148. That run also had the lowest completion rate at 49.5%, so the figure is a floor, but the gap is too wide for that to close it.
Pricing
FleetProxy starts at $2.65 per GB and steps down to $1.59 at 500 GB, which costs $795 up front. At 100 GB, a volume a working team actually buys, it is $2.12.
Shifter is $1.00 per GB at that same 100 GB and $0.75 from 200 GB, so the like for like comparison is $2.12 against $1.00, and the best rates are $1.59 against $0.75. Bandwidth not expiring and no monthly commitment are genuine points in their favour, and we offer the same.
The pricing is not unreasonable for what the network is. It is simply not competitive against a deeper pool that answers twice as fast for a third of the money.
Pricing
| Plan | Traffic | Per GB | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | 1 GB | $2.65 | $2.65 |
| Starter | 25 GB | $2.52 | $62.94 |
| Growth | 100 GB | $2.12 | $212 |
| Scale | 250 GB | $1.86 | $463.75 |
| Volume | 500 GB | $1.59 | $795 |
Pros and cons
- Second deepest pool measured in this series, 193,480 live IPs
- Second widest network spread, 2,154 distinct operators
- Excellent geo accuracy, 99.5% to 100%, including a perfect German run
- Best British spread of any network tested, 194 operators against our 193
- Bandwidth does not expire and there is no monthly commitment
- Completed only 49.5% to 67.6% of the standard test, almost all redirects
- Roughly twice our response time on identical transport
- France is thin at 3,734 addresses across 46 networks
- $2.12 per GB at 100 GB against $0.75, and the $1.59 floor needs $795 up front
- Shares 57% of its exit addresses with ProxyEmpire on same-day runs
Who FleetProxy is for
- You need British coverage specifically, where its spread and city count edge ours.
- Geo precision matters more to you than raw throughput, since its country accuracy is close to perfect.
- You run at modest concurrency, where the redirect behaviour we saw is unlikely to surface.
- You push high concurrency, where between a third and half of requests did not complete.
- You need France at volume, where it returned 3,734 addresses against our 33,581.
- You are price sensitive, at $2.12 per GB against $0.75.
How we scored it
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live pool measured | 25% | 6.1 | 193,480 IPs live across five countries, against the tested field. |
| Network spread measured | 20% | 8.5 | 2,154 distinct networks across five countries. |
| Price per GB measured | 25% | 6.8 | $2.12 per GB at 100 GB, the volume a working team actually buys. The $1.59 floor requires a 500 GB purchase at $795, and the entry rate is $2.65. |
| Response time measured | 10% | 7.8 | 961 ms median across the countries tested. |
| Country coverage | 10% | 10 | 195+ countries advertised, scaled against full global coverage. |
| Features | 5% | 7 | HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, per-request rotation or sticky sessions up to 24 hours, country and city targeting. No ASN or state level control, which several networks in this series offer. |
| Transparency | 5% | 5 | The full price ladder is published without a sales gate, which is good. Against that, nothing on the site indicates that the network is substantially shared with ProxyEmpire, which a buyer comparing the two would want to know. |
