We’d love your support 👍
Proxy Tester is a free tool that benchmarks 20+ proxy providers against the URL you actually want to scrape.
Over the last few months we've been using it internally and sharing it with early users to help answer one of the most common questions in web scraping:
Which proxy provider should I use?
One thing we've learned is that there really isn't a universal answer.
A provider that performs brilliantly on one target can struggle on another.
A provider with the highest success rate might not be the most cost-effective.
And many "best proxy provider" rankings don't reflect the website you're actually trying to scrape.
That's why we built Proxy Tester to benchmark providers against real target URLs and compare:
✅ Success Rate
✅ Latency
✅ Estimated Cost
✅ Value Score
✅ Provider Rankings
The feedback so far has been really useful and has already influenced how we're thinking about future benchmark reports, provider coverage, and scoring methodologies.
Today we're taking the next step and launching it on Product Hunt.
If you'd like to support the launch, leave feedback, or tell us what we're missing, we'd genuinely appreciate it.

One question for the community:
How are you currently evaluating proxy providers?
- Trial accounts?
- Internal benchmarks?
- Recommendations?
- Something else?
Would love to hear how others approach this problem.
