ProxyEmpire is a Bulgarian provider that has been selling proxies since 2020, and it built its name on geography. Mobile and residential traffic is offered across almost every country a scraper or an affiliate marketer is likely to ask for, and on top of the rotating pools there is a separate product that most competitors do not have at all: dedicated mobile ports billed per IP per month. That combination, wide mobile coverage plus private mobile lines, is the reason people keep coming back to this brand.
The thing that should make you pause is the other half of the picture. Residential traffic here sits in the expensive half of the market, the advertised IP pool is modest by 2026 standards, and there is no money-back window at all: whatever you load into the account, you spend on proxies. Below is what those numbers mean once you put them next to real monthly volumes and next to providers selling the same proxy types.

Top 9 alternatives for ProxyEmpire
Our Review
Last updated: 2026-08-27
Who ProxyEmpire fits and who should look elsewhere
Official website: https://proxyempire.io/
The clearest case for ProxyEmpire is mobile traffic with unusual geography. Rotating mobile proxies cover 195 countries here, which is as wide as the residential network, and very few providers extend a mobile pool that far. If your task is account farming, ad verification or checking mobile-only creatives in markets outside the usual US-UK-Germany triangle, this is a short list of providers you can even ask. The same logic applies to dedicated mobile ports: a private line at $125 per IP per month is a different product from shared rotating traffic, and it exists in Austria, the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel.
The second case is bulk scraping that does not need residential IPs. Datacenter traffic starts to look genuinely cheap at volume: $0.55/GB at 100-150 GB and $0.35/GB at 5000 GB, across 61 countries. For price monitoring on sites that do not fight back hard, that is the right tool, and the rotating datacenter product is where ProxyEmpire is most competitive.
Where you should not look at it: heavy rotating residential consumption below 1000 GB a month. The residential ladder starts at $3.50/GB and only reaches $1.50/GB at the 1000 GB step, and there are providers charging a third of that at 25-38 GB. Static addresses are also a weak spot: ISP coverage is 18 countries, so if you need a static IP in Brazil, Japan or Korea, the answer here is simply no. And since there is no refund window, every dollar you put in is committed, which makes ProxyEmpire a poor choice when you are still deciding whether proxies solve your problem at all.
What it actually costs on real volumes
The full ladder is in the pricing table above, so here is the arithmetic instead. A modest residential job of 25-38 GB runs at $2.67/GB, so a 30 GB month is about $80. Scale to 100-150 GB and the rate drops to $2.22/GB, which is roughly $267 for 120 GB. The ladder keeps easing to $1.98/GB at 250-350 GB and $1.75/GB at 500-600 GB, then flattens at $1.50/GB from 1000 GB onward and never moves again: 2000, 3000 and 5000 GB all cost the same per gigabyte. In other words, the discount curve is finished at 1000 GB, and buying 5 TB gives you no extra leverage.
Mobile traffic follows a longer curve. It opens at $4.50/GB for a single gigabyte, is $4.17/GB at 5-8 GB, $3.34/GB at 40-60 GB, $2.96/GB at 100-150 GB, and only reaches its floor of $2.00/GB at 1000 GB. A 50 GB mobile month therefore costs about $167, and a 120 GB month about $355. Dedicated mobile ports are priced flat: $125 per IP per month at every quantity from 1 to 100, so ten private mobile lines are $1,250 a month with no volume break whatsoever. That flat structure matters when you plan: there is no point in negotiating with the ladder, only in deciding how many ports you truly need.
Static residential and ISP traffic here is billed per gigabyte rather than per IP, and the two ladders are identical: $2.86/GB at 5-8 GB, $2.68/GB at 25-38 GB, $2.50/GB at 40-60 GB, $2.22/GB at 100-150 GB, and $1.50/GB from 1000 GB. That is an unusual billing model for static addresses, and it changes the comparison completely, which is why it gets its own table below.

One condition applies to all of it: the rates shown on our pricing block are the promotional ones, and they require entering the provider's promo code at checkout. Without it, the checkout total will be higher than the numbers you read here. The $1.97 trial is the cheapest way in, and since it is a paid entry rather than a free sample, the money you spend on testing is money you have already committed.
Datacenter traffic is the one ladder where each step down is worth planning around, and it keeps falling well past the point where the other products flatten out.
Where named competitors beat it
We compare with DataImpulse, Novada, MangoProxy and OkeyProxy because they sell the same proxy types in the same price band and all four are in our catalog, so the ladders line up step for step. Volume steps are the same in every table below.
Rotation Residential Proxies, $/GB
| Provider | 25-38 GB | 100-150 GB | 1000 GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| ProxyEmpire | $2.67 | $2.22 | $1.50 |
| DataImpulse | $1.00 | $1.00 | $0.80 |
| Novada | - | $1.50 | $0.90 |
| MangoProxy | - | - | - |
| OkeyProxy | - | - | $0.70 |
At the entry step ProxyEmpire is more than two and a half times the price of DataImpulse, and on a 30 GB month that is roughly $80 versus $30. At 120 GB the gap is about $267 versus $120, and even at the 1000 GB floor, where ProxyEmpire stops discounting, DataImpulse is still $700 cheaper per terabyte. MangoProxy sells residential traffic on a pay-as-you-go basis from $2.00/GB rather than on these volume steps, so its cells stay empty; OkeyProxy has a differently spaced ladder that only meets ours at 1000 GB.
Rotation Mobile Proxies, $/GB
| Provider | 25-38 GB | 100-150 GB | 1000 GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| ProxyEmpire | - | $2.96 | $2.00 |
| DataImpulse | $2.00 | $2.00 | $1.60 |
| Novada | - | $2.50 | $1.50 |
ProxyEmpire's mobile ladder only reaches the level where DataImpulse starts once you buy a terabyte, and even there it stays higher. On 120 GB of mobile traffic the difference against DataImpulse is about $115 a month. What ProxyEmpire sells at that premium is reach: 195 mobile countries against 179 at DataImpulse and 191 at Novada, plus the dedicated port product that neither of them offers.
Rotation Datacenter Proxies, $/GB
| Provider | 40-60 GB | 100-150 GB | 500-600 GB | 1000 GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProxyEmpire | $0.625 | $0.55 | $0.45 | $0.40 |
| OkeyProxy | $0.59 | - | $0.45 | $0.37 |
| DataImpulse | $0.50 | $0.50 | $0.50 | $0.45 |
| Novada | $1.33 | $1.00 | - | $0.55 |
This is the one type where ProxyEmpire plays on equal terms: it is behind DataImpulse and OkeyProxy on small volumes but overtakes DataImpulse from about 500 GB, and at a terabyte the spread across the three cheap providers is only a few cents per gigabyte. On 1000 GB a month that is a difference of tens of dollars, not hundreds, so the choice stops being about price.
Once price stops deciding, coverage does, and here the ranking changes completely.
ProxyEmpire sits in the middle: its 61 datacenter countries are far more than OkeyProxy's 23 or Novada's 29, but well short of MangoProxy's 148 and DataImpulse's 122. If your scraping targets are spread across Eastern Europe and Latin America, that middle position is usually enough; if you need an exotic exit node, it is not.
ISP and static residential: different billing units
These cannot go in one table honestly. ProxyEmpire bills static addresses per gigabyte of traffic, while the other three bill per IP per month, and $2.68/GB is not comparable with $2.50/IP.
| Provider | Unit | Entry step | Mid step | Top step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProxyEmpire | $/GB | $2.86 (5-8 GB) | $2.22 (100-150 GB) | $1.50 (1000 GB) |
| Novada | $/IP per month | $7.00 (1 IP) | $2.50 (100 IPs) | $2.35 (400-500 IPs) |
| MangoProxy | $/IP per month | $2.80 (1 IP) | $2.24 (100 IPs) | $2.10 (400-500 IPs) |
| OkeyProxy | $/IP per month | $5.00 (1 IP) | $5.00 (100 IPs) | $5.00 (400-500 IPs) |
Practically, the per-IP model wins whenever you need a fixed identity with heavy usage: one MangoProxy address at $2.24 carries as much traffic as you can push through it, while at ProxyEmpire the same identity costs $2.22 for every single gigabyte you send. ProxyEmpire's model only makes sense when a static exit node is needed for small, occasional volumes. Coverage reinforces that: 18 ISP countries against 66 at Novada and 29 at MangoProxy and OkeyProxy.
What the price buys and what testing costs
The first thing to weigh is pool size against price. ProxyEmpire advertises 9.5M+ IPs, while DataImpulse and MangoProxy both claim 90M+, OkeyProxy 150M+ and Novada 160M+. Normally a smaller pool comes with a smaller price, because fewer addresses mean more repetition per target and higher odds of hitting an IP that a site has already seen. Here the relationship is inverted: the smallest advertised pool carries the highest residential rate in this group. What you are actually paying for is country count, 195 on both the residential and mobile networks, and the fact that the mobile network reaches that far at all. If your targets are concentrated in a handful of large markets, that trade is a bad one; if your work depends on rare geographies, it is the whole reason to be here.
The second thing is the cost of finding out. ProxyEmpire has a $1.97 paid trial and no money-back window, so your maximum exposure while evaluating is whatever you deliberately load into the balance, and your minimum is those $1.97. DataImpulse has no trial but a 168 hour refund window, which means a full week to run real jobs and still walk away. MangoProxy pairs a $1.6 trial with 48 hours of money-back, and Novada gives 24 hours with no trial. Sorted by risk, a week of refund rights beats a two dollar sample: with ProxyEmpire, top up small and treat the first purchase as spent.
| Provider | Pool | Trial | Money-back | Payment methods |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProxyEmpire | 9.5M+ | $1.97 | None | 3 (Crypto, Visa/Mastercard, PayPal) |
| DataImpulse | 90M+ | No | 168 h | 3 (Crypto, AliPay, Visa/Mastercard) |
| Novada | 160M+ | No | 24 h | 6 (Crypto, AliPay, cards, Paymentwall, Kakao Pay, Samsung Pay) |
| MangoProxy | 90M+ | $1.6 | 48 h | 2 (Crypto, Visa/Mastercard) |
| OkeyProxy | 150M+ | Yes | None | 5 (Crypto, AliPay, cards, PayPal, Doku) |
The third thing is how you pay. Three methods including PayPal is a real advantage for buyers who want dispute rights on a card-free payment, and it is something DataImpulse and MangoProxy do not offer. For teams in Asia the picture flips: Novada's six methods cover AliPay, Kakao Pay and Samsung Pay, and OkeyProxy adds Doku, which matters in Indonesia. Crypto is available everywhere in this group, so it is not a differentiator.
What users say
ProxyEmpire has been on the market since 2020, which in this industry is long enough to have a track record, and in scraping and affiliate communities it is discussed mostly as a mobile specialist rather than as a cheap residential source. Two claims come up most often in those discussions. The first is the breadth of the mobile network: people who need carrier IPs in secondary markets tend to mention this brand alongside a very short list of others, and that reputation lines up with what the coverage figures show. The second is unused traffic carrying over instead of expiring at the end of the billing period, which the provider itself promotes and which is the main reason buyers tolerate the higher per-gigabyte rate. If that matters to your budgeting, confirm the exact carry-over terms with support before you top up, since it changes the effective price of an unevenly used month more than any discount step does.
The criticism is equally consistent, and it is the same thing the pricing ladder shows: residential traffic is expensive relative to what the market now charges, and the absence of any refund means an unhappy customer has no exit. Buyers who came for residential scraping and stayed for mobile are the recurring story here; buyers who came only for residential scraping usually are not.
Two concrete scenarios
A marketplace price monitor pulling 120 GB a month of HTML from sites without aggressive anti-bot defences does not need residential IPs. At $0.55/GB that is $66 a month, and the 61 datacenter countries cover the European and North American storefronts such a project usually tracks. Doubling the workload to 500-600 GB drops the rate to $0.45/GB, so 550 GB is about $248: the per-gigabyte cost falls faster than the volume rises, which makes this the product to grow into. For a broader look at how this class of proxy is priced elsewhere, our datacenter proxy rating puts the same numbers side by side.
An affiliate team farming mobile accounts has two routes. Ten dedicated mobile ports cost $1,250 a month flat, and that buys private lines nobody else is rotating through, but only in four countries. If the target market is outside those four, the alternative is rotating mobile traffic: 50 GB at $3.34/GB is about $167 a month, which is fine for a small operation. The break point is worth knowing in advance. At 100-150 GB the rate is $2.96/GB, so 120 GB costs about $355 here against $240 at DataImpulse for the same volume, and the gap grows with every extra gigabyte. Once monthly mobile consumption passes roughly 100 GB and your geographies are common ones, moving the bulk elsewhere and keeping ProxyEmpire for the rare countries is the cheaper structure. Our mobile proxy rating covers the providers worth moving that bulk to.
Verdict
Buy ProxyEmpire if mobile traffic with wide geography is your bottleneck, if you need dedicated mobile ports in Austria, the UK, the US or Israel, or if you are scraping at datacenter volumes above roughly 500 GB a month, where its rate matches the cheapest providers we track. In those three cases the price is justified by something a competitor cannot simply undercut.
Do not buy it if residential traffic is your main line item and you consume less than 1000 GB a month: the same work costs a fraction elsewhere, and the discount ladder stops exactly where you would start to benefit. Do not buy it if you need static addresses outside its 18 ISP countries, or if the right to get your money back is part of how you evaluate a vendor, because there is no refund window at all. Start with the $1.97 trial, test against your actual targets, and only then decide how much to load.

FAQ
- What proxy types does ProxyEmpire sell?
- Rotating residential and rotating mobile proxies in 195 countries, rotating datacenter traffic in 61 countries, static residential and ISP proxies in 18 countries, and dedicated mobile ports in Austria, the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel.
- How much does it cost to start, and what does the $1.97 trial give?
- The trial costs $1.97 and is the cheapest entry point. Regular residential traffic starts at $3.50/GB for a single gigabyte and $2.85/GB at 5-8 GB, mobile at $4.50/GB for one gigabyte, and datacenter traffic at $0.625/GB on the 40-60 GB step.
- Is there a money-back guarantee?
- No. There is no refund window, so anything you load into the balance is committed. For comparison, DataImpulse gives 168 hours, MangoProxy 48 and Novada 24.
- What payment methods are accepted?
- Three: cryptocurrency, Visa/Mastercard and PayPal. PayPal is not offered by DataImpulse or MangoProxy.
- How many countries are covered?
- Rotating mobile and rotating residential both reach 195 countries. Datacenter traffic covers 61 countries, ISP and static residential only 18, and dedicated mobile ports 4.
- At what volume do prices stop falling?
- Residential, ISP and static residential all bottom out at $1.50/GB from 1000 GB, and 2000, 3000 and 5000 GB cost the same. Mobile reaches $2.00/GB at 1000 GB. Datacenter keeps easing to $0.35/GB at 5000 GB. Dedicated mobile ports are a flat $125 per IP at every quantity.
- Is ProxyEmpire better for a scraper or an affiliate marketer?
- For a scraper it works when the job runs on datacenter traffic at volume. For an affiliate marketer it works when mobile IPs in uncommon countries or private mobile ports are needed. A scraper who mainly needs cheap residential gigabytes will pay far less elsewhere.
- Does unused traffic expire?
- The provider promotes carry-over of unused traffic, and it is one of the reasons buyers accept the higher rate. Confirm the exact terms with support before topping up, since it affects the effective price of an uneven month.
