ProxyStats's answer

ProxyStats measures residential proxy providers instead of repeating their marketing. Automated probes run every 15 minutes from EU and US vantage points and score latency, success rate, sticky-session survival and geo-accuracy. No provider can pay for placement, so the leaderboard reflects performance, not ad budgets.

PROXY001's answer:

PROXY001 strikes the perfect balance between enterprise-grade performance and affordability. Unlike competitors who resell diluted pools, we maintain a strictly ethically sourced residential network. Our unique "Smart Rotation" algorithm ensures 99.9% success rates for web scraping by automatically detecting and bypassing advanced anti-bot systems, making us the go-to choice for developers who need cleaner IPs without the enterprise price tag.

ProxyStats's answer

ProxyStats isn't a proxy vendor, so it has no incentive to favor any network. Where provider websites and affiliate "top 10" lists publish claims, ProxyStats publishes measurements you can check: the same probes, the same schedule, applied to every provider. You get an independent second opinion before you spend on proxies.

ProxyStats's answer

Developers and data teams who depend on residential proxies: web-scraping engineers, market-intelligence and price-monitoring teams, ad-verification and SEO tooling builders. Anyone comparing proxy networks on evidence before committing budget, plus the proxy providers themselves who want a neutral read on their own performance.

PROXY001's answer:

Our primary audience consists of Data Scientists, SEO Specialists, and Growth Hackers. Specifically:

Web Scraping Engineers who need to extract data from e-commerce sites without blocking.

Ad Verification Agencies validating ad placements globally.

Social Media Managers handling multiple accounts on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Sneaker Bot Users requiring high-speed, localized residential IPs.

ProxyStats's answer

ProxyStats started from a simple frustration: every "best residential proxy" list reads like an ad, and provider dashboards only show numbers that flatter them. Picking a network meant trusting marketing. ProxyStats replaces that with continuous, independent measurement from multiple vantage points, published openly and updated daily, so the choice rests on data instead of claims.

PROXY001's answer:

PROXY001 was founded by a team of ex-FAANG data engineers who were frustrated with the existing proxy market. We saw only two options: overpriced enterprise solutions or unreliable, low-quality proxy farms. We built PROXY001 to bridge this gap—creating a robust infrastructure that democratizes access to high-quality residential IPs for businesses of all sizes.

ProxyStats's answer

A Next.js frontend and a Python/FastAPI backend, with PostgreSQL for time-series results and Redis for queuing. Distributed probe workers run from EU and US vantage points, containerized with Docker. Scores recompute on a daily schedule into the public leaderboard.

PROXY001's answer:

We utilize a modern tech stack to ensure speed and anonymity:

Backend: High-performance Go (Golang) and Node.js for low-latency request handling.

Infrastructure: Distributed cloud architecture across AWS and bare-metal servers for global coverage.

Fingerprinting: Advanced TLS fingerprint management to mimic real user behavior.
