KnoxProxy prices its 90.4M+-IP residential network by the successful gigabyte, built for teams that need precise city and ASN targeting across 195 countries. ProxyRack takes the opposite bet: a smaller ~5M-IP pool sold mostly on flat-rate unlimited-bandwidth plans, aimed at users who want one predictable invoice.
KnoxProxy wins on pool size, country coverage, geo-targeting precision, and billing fairness. ProxyRack wins on cost predictability for sustained high-bandwidth jobs where flat unlimited plans beat metered per-GB pricing. Pick KnoxProxy for precision targeting and success-based billing. Pick ProxyRack for heavy, steady bandwidth with one fixed monthly number.

| Task | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| City-level or ASN-specific data across dozens of countries | KnoxProxy | 90.4M pool with city/ASN targeting covers ground ProxyRack's 5M IPs and 140 countries cannot |
| Sustained high-bandwidth job (hundreds of GB/month) | ProxyRack | At that volume, a flat unlimited plan can beat even KnoxProxy's discounted $1.10/GB tier |
| Solo developer testing at low volume | KnoxProxy | Free trial with no card and pay-per-success billing beats committing to a flat monthly plan |
| Needing static and rotating residential in one account | ProxyRack | Static residential is a native ProxyRack product; KnoxProxy's residential is rotating only |
Provider marketing sells the biggest number on the page. Buyers should buy the smallest one that matters: cost per successful request on their own targets. List price, billing rules, success rate, and how much of the product your tier actually unlocks all feed it.
A rigged table is worthless to a buyer and obvious to a reviewer.
Pool size and pool quality are different axes. A large pool of recycled, previously flagged addresses can lose to a smaller, well-maintained one on your actual targets. Compare the numbers below, then verify with your own benchmark -- ask about IP hygiene, not headcount.
Score both finalists on all five, weight by what your program values, and the winner is usually obvious -- and defensible to whoever signs off.
The protocol is identical -- host, port, credentials. The migration isn't hard; the discipline is running both in parallel long enough to trust the numbers on your real workload.
Replace ProxyRack's gateway host and port with KnoxProxy credentials from your dashboard. Update host, port, username, and password in your config.
ProxyRack's country/state selectors do not map to KnoxProxy's city/ASN targeting. Decide which markets need granular precision and set those parameters explicitly.
Retry logic built for ProxyRack's charge-regardless billing can likely be simplified since KnoxProxy only bills successful responses. Re-run tests to confirm.
Depends on volume. KnoxProxy's metered rate ($2.10/GB to $1.10/GB) usually costs less for moderate usage. ProxyRack's flat unlimited plans (from ~$49.95/mo) can cost less when bandwidth use gets heavy enough.
No. KnoxProxy bills per successful gigabyte (2xx-only), so you never pay for failed requests, but there is no flat-rate option like ProxyRack's.
ProxyRack's targeting tops out at country and state level. KnoxProxy includes city and ASN targeting on every plan across 195 countries.
KnoxProxy's residential network is rotating. If you need static residential IPs specifically, ProxyRack offers that as a native option.
Replace ProxyRack's gateway host and port with KnoxProxy credentials from your dashboard. Update host, port, username, and password in your config. Most teams run both providers in parallel for about a week, comparing per-target success, before cutting over fully.
Nothing beyond the gateway host and credentials changes -- the proxy protocol is the same, so your existing scraping code, retry logic, and session handling keep working.
Enterprise plans include MSAs, invoicing, committed-use discounts, and a named account manager from 1 TB/mo.
