Proxy-Seller Review
Deep, quick and reliable, held back by a flat ladder and one account per country.
The short version
- Proxy-Seller returned 265,835 live IPs across five countries, the fourth deepest in our series.
- It led the United States with 139,933 live addresses, 2.4% ahead of our own count, the closest pool result we recorded.
- Reliability was solid at 97.2% to 99.3%, and responses were quick, 371 ms to 703 ms.
- The price ladder stops falling at 50 GB, so a 100 GB buyer and a 500 GB buyer pay the same $2.20 per GB.
- Each country needs its own credential pair rather than a parameter on one gateway.
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 | Proxy-Seller | Shifter | Networks |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 139,933 | 136,667 | 1,227 |
| United Kingdom | 46,349 | 53,506 | 154 |
| France | 28,315 | 33,581 | 48 |
| Canada | 32,821 | 33,485 | 222 |
| Germany | 18,417 | 22,005 | 153 |
The closest result in the series
Proxy-Seller returned 139,933 live US addresses against the 136,667 we recorded in the same window, a difference of 2.4%. Across all five countries it served 265,835 against our 279,244. On raw pool count these are the same class of network.
Where the two separate is spread. Its addresses came from 1,804 distinct operators across the five countries against our 2,441, and France is the sharpest example: 48 networks against 148. Anti-bot systems key on the operator behind an address, so that gap matters more than the small pool difference.
One observation worth recording: Proxy-Seller and Infatica share between 63% and 84% of their addresses depending on the country, and their British counts landed 17 apart. We are stating the overlap we measured, not making a claim about how either network is sourced.
Per-country accounts and a ladder that stops
Most residential networks take a country as a parameter on one gateway. Proxy-Seller issues a separate credential pair per country, which is why our first attempt only ever returned US exits. For a single-market job that is irrelevant. For anything spanning several countries it means buying, storing and rotating multiple accounts.
The pricing curve is the other structural issue. It falls from $2.50 to $2.20 by 50 GB and then stops. Buying ten times more traffic earns you nothing, which is unusual in a market where rates normally keep descending.
Our own rate is $1.00 per GB at 100 GB and $0.75 at volume from a single set of credentials covering every country, which is a disclosed commercial interest.
Pricing
| Plan | Traffic | Per GB | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | 3 GB | $2.50 | $9 |
| Mid | 50 GB | $2.20 | $115 |
| Larger | 100 GB | $2.20 | $220 |
Pros and cons
- Deep pool: 265,835 live addresses, and it led the United States outright
- Quick responses, 371 ms to 703 ms across the countries tested
- 220+ locations, the widest country list of any network we measured
- 220+ locations with ISP-level targeting and a $1.99 trial
- A separate account per country, awkward for multi-market work
- Price stops improving at 50 GB, so volume buys nothing
- Network spread well behind the leaders, 48 French operators against 148
- Shares most of its measured addresses with another provider in our test
Who Proxy-Seller is for
- You work in one or two countries and want a deep pool with quick responses.
- You buy around 50 GB, where the flat ladder is at its most competitive.
- You want a cheap paid trial before committing.
- You target many countries, since each one is a separate account to buy and wire up.
- You expect volume discounts, because the rate flattens at 50 GB.
- You need the widest network spread, particularly in France.
How we scored it
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live pool measured | 25% | 8.6 | 265,835 IPs live across five countries, against the tested field. |
| Network spread measured | 20% | 6.6 | 1,804 distinct networks across five countries. |
| Price per GB measured | 25% | 6.6 | $2.20 per GB, reached at 50 GB and flat above it. The 3 GB entry tier is $2.50. |
| Response time measured | 10% | 9.6 | 507 ms median across the countries tested. |
| Country coverage | 10% | 10 | 195+ countries advertised, scaled against full global coverage. |
| Features | 5% | 7 | ISP and city targeting, sticky sessions, wide location list. Marked down because country selection requires separate credentials rather than a gateway parameter. |
| Transparency | 5% | 7.5 | Prices are published and a cheap trial exists. The per-country account requirement is not obvious before purchase. |
