Storm Proxies vs Proxyrack
Proxyrack and Storm Proxies share an idea: you pay for threads, not gigabytes. Proxyrack wraps that idea in a big menu of residential, datacenter and mobile products across 145 residential countries. Storm keeps it small and cheap, with USA and EU IPs. Since both are unmetered, this page compares them thread for thread.
Pick Storm Proxies if…
- You want rotating datacenter threads at a low entry price: 10 threads for $14/month, 150 threads for $97.
- You want a large rotating pool behind one gateway: 700,000+ datacenter IPs, a fresh one on every request if you like.
- You want to test residential IPs with a small package: 1 port for $19/month, no data cap.
- Your targets are in the USA or EU and HTTP(S) is enough.
Pick Proxyrack if…
- You need SOCKS or UDP. Proxyrack lists HTTP, SOCKS and UDP. Storm sells HTTP(S) only.
- You need residential IPs in many countries: Proxyrack lists the US, UK, CA, DE, FR and 140 more, with city and ISP targeting.
- You need mobile proxies. Proxyrack sells them, from a 1.4M+ IP pool.
- You want to try residential threads for a few days first: a 3-day trial costs $5.

Looking for a Proxyrack alternative?
If you like Proxyrack’s unmetered data, Storm works the same way. For a small setup, the sticking point is the entry price: rotating datacenter starts at $150/month and Unlimited Residential at $300/month, which is a lot for a small SEO setup or a single scraper.
Storm Proxies covers the same ground at a smaller scale: rotating datacenter threads from $14 and residential ports from $19, all with unlimited bandwidth. What you give up is reach. Proxyrack covers far more countries, offers SOCKS and UDP, and sells mobile IPs. Storm doesn’t.
Rotating datacenter threads, side by side
Both companies sell rotating datacenter proxies by the thread with no data cap, so this is as close to apples to apples as proxy pricing gets. Here is Proxyrack’s entry plan next to the Storm plan with a similar thread count.
Storm gives you 50 more threads for less money here, and the gap is bigger on small setups: 40 threads cost $39/month. Proxyrack’s advantage is in what each thread can do. It supports SOCKS and UDP, offers datacenter IPs in the US, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore and 10 more locations, and lets you target by city and ISP.
Residential is harder to compare, because Proxyrack counts threads and Storm counts ports. Proxyrack’s 500-thread plan is $750/month, and its smallest custom plan is 100 threads for $300. Storm’s 20 residential ports are $160/month and 100 ports are $550, each port rotating to a new USA or EU IP every 5 minutes. Check how many parallel connections your tool really opens before you pick a side.
Same billing idea, different scale
Proxyrack and Storm both price their main products without a data meter. Proxyrack lists its Unlimited Residential plans as pay per thread with unmetered bandwidth, and its USA and Global Rotating datacenter plans as pay per thread with unmetered data. Storm prices rotating proxies by thread and residential by port, with unlimited bandwidth on everything.
So the question isn’t whether you’ll get a surprise bill. Neither will charge you for data on these plans. The question is how many threads you need, where the IPs must be, and which protocols your software speaks.
