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 | 14-day money-back guarantee 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 down to $1.10/GB at scale) usually costs less for low to moderate usage. ProxyRack's flat unlimited plans, from roughly $49.95/mo, can beat even KnoxProxy's discounted tier once bandwidth use climbs into the hundreds of gigabytes per month. Run the numbers against your own volume.
No. KnoxProxy bills per successful gigabyte only (2xx-only billing), so failed or blocked requests are never charged, but there is no flat-rate, unlimited-bandwidth option like ProxyRack sells. For sustained, heavy-bandwidth jobs where a fixed monthly number matters more than metered fairness, ProxyRack's flat unlimited plans remove that per-GB cost anxiety entirely.
No. ProxyRack's targeting tops out at country and state level, with no city or ASN options published. KnoxProxy includes city and ASN targeting on every plan, including the entry tier, across all 195 supported countries, so precise geo-targeting does not require upgrading to a higher plan.
No. KnoxProxy's residential network is rotating only, with no static IP option today. If a job specifically needs static residential IPs, ProxyRack offers that as a native product, alongside its rotating pool, from the same account -- useful when one profile needs to keep the exact same IP over time.
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 underlying proxy protocol (HTTP/S and SOCKS5) is the same, so your existing scraping code, retry logic, and session handling keep working as-is. Most teams simply point requests at gw.knoxproxy.com and run both providers in parallel for a few days before cutting over fully.
Yes. Enterprise plans include signed MSAs, standard invoicing, committed-use volume discounts, and a named account manager once usage passes 1 TB/mo. Below that threshold, every account still gets self-serve PAYG pricing, 2xx-only billing, and 24/7 live chat support, so enterprise-grade terms and everyday self-serve billing sit on the same platform.
