Proxy Tester by ScrapeOps

target-specific benchmarking over generic rankings makes way more sense, proxy performance is so site-dependent. is the value score weighted evenly across success/latency/cost or can you tune it per use case?

Congrats on the launch, Ian. Good hunt, Hiten! A lot of SaaS data tools collect data from many different websites, but anti-bot systems such as Cloudflare can make scraping challenging. This tool is especially useful because it helps you identify the best proxy for a specific target website and use case, rather than relying on generic rankings.

@iankerins "There is no universal answer" matches my experience exactly — I've watched a provider ace one retail site and get stonewalled by another with the same config, so benchmarking against the actual target URL is the right unit of measurement.Two things I'm curious about from running into this myself: does the benchmark measure sustained multi-request sessions, or single fetches? Some anti-bot setups bind the session to an IP, so a rotating residential pool can pass a one-off GET with flying colors and then fall apart the moment you need request three of a flow.And how do you handle staleness? Target sites update their WAF rules constantly, so a ranking from six weeks ago can be confidently wrong today. Are reports timestamped / re-run on a schedule, or is it fresh-per-request?

Hey Product Hunt 👋I'm Ian, one of the people behind ScrapeOps.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.So we built Proxy Tester.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 sideTests providers against your exact target URLGenerates a free custom benchmark reportHelps compare providers side by side before you commitCheck out this 1-minute demo: https://youtu.be/GR67AIWkPn0If 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! 🙌
