Mobile-first proxy network with strong rotating residential and datacenter options — $1.97 trial, transparent tiered pricing, and a specialised mobile proxy catalogue.
ProxyEmpire is a 2020-founded provider that has carved out a specific niche: depth in geographies that tier-one vendors underweight. The total residential pool sits at roughly 9M+ IPs — small by the category — but the distribution lands hard in markets like Egypt, Pakistan, Nigeria, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, the Gulf states and tier-two African countries where Bright Data, Oxylabs and Decodo all show shallow ranges. For market researchers, ad-verification teams and ecommerce price-tracking workflows that genuinely need a Lagos IP from a specific Nigerian mobile carrier or an Almaty IP from a Kazakh ISP, ProxyEmpire is often the only credible option.
ProxyEmpire built its network by aggressively prioritising peer-network partnerships in markets the tier-one providers ignored. Where Bright Data and Oxylabs pursued depth in the US, UK, Germany and Japan, ProxyEmpire pursued depth in markets with weaker existing supply — Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East, parts of Southeast Asia and Latin America. The network is smaller in absolute terms but disproportionately useful for buyers whose targets sit in those underweighted regions.
The trade-off is that the US and EU pools are smaller and noisier than the tier-one alternatives. For a US-only crawl, ProxyEmpire is materially worse value than Decodo or SOAX. The pitch only works if your target geography sits in the underweighted markets where the niche-depth strategy actually delivers a measurable advantage. Country, state, city and ASN targeting are all available, with city-level coverage in 500+ cities — including a meaningful number in markets the competition simply does not cover at city granularity.
ProxyEmpire publishes per-GB pricing that sits at the high end of the mid-tier — the niche depth comes at a real premium. Mobile and datacenter products are sold separately.
| Tier | Bandwidth | Per-GB rate | Monthly total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 5 GB | $3.50 | $17.50 |
| Pro | 30 GB | $3.00 | $90.00 |
| Premium | 100 GB | $2.40 | $240.00 |
| Enterprise | 500 GB+ | From $1.50 | From $750 |
| Rotating mobile | 5 GB | $8.00 | $40.00 |
That puts ProxyEmpire roughly even with Decodo on per-GB rates and ahead of NodeMaven. The premium pays for niche-geo depth, not pool size or success rate. For US/EU-heavy workloads the pricing does not justify itself; for genuinely global research workloads with significant tier-three country exposure, ProxyEmpire is often the cheapest credible option because the alternative is paying enterprise rates at Bright Data for the same coverage.
| Dimension | ProxyEmpire | Bright Data | Oxylabs | Decodo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential pool | 9M+ IPs | 150M+ IPs | 175M+ IPs | 125M+ IPs |
| Tier-three country depth | Strong | Variable | Variable | Mixed |
| Per-GB rate (entry) | $3.50 at 5 GB | $5.04 at 99 GB | $4 at 75 GB | $4 at 50 GB |
| City-level coverage | 500+ cities | Variable global | 195 countries | 50+ countries |
| Best for | Niche-geo research | Hardest targets, scale | EU compliance + scale | SMB production |
ProxyEmpire wins decisively on tier-three country and city depth — there is no competitor at the price point that offers comparable coverage in Lagos, Almaty, Karachi, Dhaka, Lima, Manila and similar markets. For any other dimension Bright Data, Oxylabs or Decodo beat it.
