Flat-Rate vs. Metered Bandwidth
ProxyEmpire charges you for every single gigabyte consumed (starting at $15/GB for mobile data). With XProxy, you pay a flat annual software license. Paired with local carrier SIM cards, you run unlimited data pipelines for a tiny fraction of the cost.
100% Dedicated & Private IPs
Renting cloud proxy services forces you to share proxy pools, increasing risk of IP bans. XProxy routes request traffic directly through your physical SIM cards. You have exclusive ownership of the dynamic carrier IPs with maximum data security.
Direct Connection Speed
ProxyEmpire relays data through remote cloud gateway nodes, adding connection latency. XProxy interfaces directly with local cellular networks via USB modems or Android phones plugged into your local Ubuntu server, ensuring minimal delay.
Built-in SMS Verification Inbox
Renting cloud proxy pipelines makes it impossible to receive verification SMS texts. XProxy lets you access your physical SIM cards directly from the software console to receive verification codes and handle SMS sending seamlessly.
