I have been through the Proxy for Sale marketplace and search through posts about proxies on this forum and it seems there are a quintillion residential and mobile proxy providers. How do I choose who to go with? I guess I am looking for the one which:
1. has the lowest fraud score / highest quality score
2. is reasonable fast or at least usable
3. covers a wide range of locations

It could be the case that I need multiple proxy providers to meet my requirements. Who do you recommend I go with?

How to choose the best fit to your project? Test. Ask for trials.

Do you have specific requirements? Open an WTB thread and mention inside of it everything you need. In that way, only the ones who have the characteristics may apply to it.

Cheers!

Ask for trials, best method to check the quality.
 
For high trust needs, mobile or residential. Just stay away from datacenter ones. And while trialing proxies, check their customer support response time. Sometimes proxies work great, but when you run into issues, you need quick support.

Yeah, I agree with asking for a test. Clearest way to get an idea of what you're getting and if you see yourself using the service for any amount of time. It also depends on what kind of proxy you need so consider if mobile proxy is what you need or if residential will be enough. Even among those, it still largely varies.
Anyway, recommendations can only go so far. Best to get your hands on a test from the provider and try it out for yourself with your setup and etc. Sites like pixelscan.net can help run basic tests for that but explore your option. I find them lacking at times when testing.
 
Hey!
You're right — there are tons of proxy providers out there, and picking the right one isn't easy. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
  1. Reputation and reviews — look for providers with a solid track record and positive feedback.
  2. IP quality — low fraud scores, clean IPs with no spam history.
  3. Speed and stability — especially important for tasks like scraping, automation, or account creation.
  4. Location coverage — make sure they offer proxies in the countries you need.
A lot of people end up using multiple providers to cover different needs — totally normal.

Check out some reviews on the forum and look for providers that offer a trial or refund policy.
And if you’re testing a few — maybe give FloppyData.

You're asking the right questions, low fraud score, stable and usable speed, plus wide geo coverage are key. The issue is many providers relabel residential IPs as "mobile" or use burned ASNs. A real quality mobile proxy should run on a genuine mobile carrier ASN (not tunneled or hosted), and ideally give you control over rotation or sticky IPs. Testing multiple providers is a smart move at first. You'll quickly see which ones offer clean, reusable IPs that work reliably for sensitive tasks like Google, Meta, or outreach campaigns.
 
Truth is, you don't need to find "the best proxy provider on the entire forum" because for real work, finding just a good one will be enough. There are many offers and among them there really are many good and very good ones.

So don't overthink it more than it's worth. Browse through 10-20 topics on the marketplace, pick a couple of guys you like and just start testing them.

It's like choosing tea varieties and brands :) there are countless thousands, but until you start trying them, you won't know which one suits you better.
 
When choosing a mobile proxy provider, look for one with a low fraud score, good speed, and wide location coverage. Trusted providers like ProxyGuys, Soax, or AirProxy are popular choices. You may need to test a few to meet specific needs like performance, reliability, and geographic diversity for your tasks.
 
Yes, it can be really confusing with so many proxy choices. Try picking one that gives a free trial first, so you can test quality and speed. Also look for real user reviews.
 
Choose a mobile proxy provider based on trustworthiness, speed, and IP pool size—opt for one with real 4G/5G IPs and positive user reviews. Ensure they offer good customer support, flexible pricing, and compatibility with your target platforms.
 
Theres commonly a one day trial that sellers offer that you might wanna avail.
 
Choosing proxies with low fraud scores, good speed, and broad location coverage is key—testing a few providers might help find the best fit
 
Go with the one that offers a free trial so you can test if it meets your needs.

I recommend you go with mobile proxies – you can’t go wrong with them.
They’re the best when it comes to security, privacy, and data protection.

Make sure to choose real 4G or 5G connections with real smartphones, not dongles.

At least 30 Mbps speed is ideal, and one location is usually enough.

Important: Your setup matters too – use a proper anti-detect browser and make sure your settings are optimized for your use case.
