The Best Smartproxy Alternative
Smartproxy is a popular choice but its per-GB billing model adds up fast. Murphy Proxies delivers the same quality connections with unlimited bandwidth and no surprise costs at the end of the month.
About Smartproxy
Smartproxy is a well-known proxy provider offering residential and datacenter proxies with a user-friendly interface. While their entry-level pricing looks attractive, costs escalate quickly once bandwidth usage increases. Their ISP proxy offering is more limited than their residential pool, and support wait times can slow down critical operations.
Why Murphy beats Smartproxy
Superior ISP Proxy Quality
Murphy's ISP proxies use real residential ISP-assigned IPs with static and rotating options. This means lower block rates and higher success on targets that filter datacenter traffic.
Unlimited ISP Bandwidth
Murphy's ISP proxies come with unlimited bandwidth on all plans. No caps, no overages. Scale your botting or scraping operations without ever watching the meter.
Affordable Residential Pricing
Murphy's residential proxies use competitive GB-based billing. You pay only for what you use, without the per-GB costs that make Smartproxy expensive at high volumes.
Instant Live Support
When something goes wrong during a drop or a scrape job, you need answers fast. Murphy's 24/7 live support team responds immediately, not hours later through a ticket queue.
