Benchmark proxies for reliable, target-specific scraping
ScrapeOps Proxy Tester is a technical benchmarking platform for developers, scraping teams, data providers, SaaS companies, and AI agents selecting proxy infrastructure. Submit a target URL to test 20+ residential, datacenter, mobile, Proxy API, and unblocker configurations. It measures real-world success rate, latency, reliability, bandwidth, and estimated cost, then generates a use-case-specific ranking instead of relying on generic provider claims.
Over the years, we've spoken with hundreds of developers building web scraping pipelines, and one question kept coming up:
"Which proxy provider should I actually use for this website?"
The frustrating part is that there isn't a universal answer. A provider that performs great on one target can perform poorly on another. Most teams end up buying credits, running manual tests, comparing logs, and spending days figuring it out.
Instead of relying on generic rankings or vendor claims, Proxy Tester lets you submit your target URL and benchmark multiple proxy providers against that specific target.
Every benchmark compares:
✅ Success rate
⚡ Latency
💰 Estimated cost
📊 Overall value score
...then generates a custom report showing which provider performed best.
Our goal was simple:
Help developers make data-backed proxy decisions before spending money on proxy plans that may not work for their use case.
Today, Proxy Tester:
Benchmarks 20+ leading Proxy API, Residential, Datacenter and Unblocker proxy providers side by side
Tests providers against your exact target URL
Generates a free custom benchmark report
Helps compare providers side by side before you commit
If you're building scrapers, data pipelines, AI workflows, or anything that depends on reliable web data, we'd genuinely love your feedback.
Happy to answer any questions about our benchmarking methodology, proxy providers, scraping infrastructure, or where we're taking the product next.
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
