Stormproxies Proxy Review 2023

StormProxies has been around for over three years and entered the proxy market in 2016. Given its year of existence, it’s safe to say it’s still a young company that can’t command the trust that other vendors have already earned. Well, while it can’t be said that it belongs to the top tier, it has carved out a niche for itself and is considered one of the best of its kind.

Its proxies are pretty fast compared to private proxies, and they are very cheap and convenient. They have good customer service and have proven to be effective and practical in web scraping tasks. However, they are very limited in terms of area coverage, geolocation options, and authentication methods, among other things.

Locations

This location may prevent some people from using StormProxies. A small set of IP addresses means they don’t cover many locations.

Currently, most addresses are in the US and EU, whether they have a global address or not. Another thing that might seem odd is that, unlike almost all of their competitors, they don’t offer actual location listings.

Pricing

Storm Proxies packages range from $15 to $2,200 per month.

Also, as you can see in the image above, StormProxies doesn’t charge by bandwidth. You have unlimited bandwidth for every package.

However, they also offer a limited number of ports, threads (concurrent connections), and IPs per the pricing plan.

For example, the cheapest residential plan costs $50 per month and only offers 5 connections. At $10 per port, it’s a bit pricey for what it offers.

Payment

StormProxies offers a secure and convenient payment system that accepts major credit cards and popular online payment platforms like PayPal. They ensure the protection of sensitive payment information through secure encryption protocols.

With flexible subscription plans and automatic renewal, users can easily manage their payments and enjoy uninterrupted service.

Speed Testing

If you compare private proxies to data center proxies, you know their speed is unmatched. This is because redirecting requests to a local proxy incurs a performance overhead in the form of latency. While Storm Proxies consumer proxies are not expected to outperform data center proxies by IP address, they are fast enough for most use cases.

Average response time (seconds): 6,144

Based on the tables and graphs above, we probably don’t have to tell you that their average response time is decent, even if it doesn’t compare to what you get from the big players.

Proxy Connection Speed

Most proxy performance tests consider download and upload speeds. Delayed forms of ping are also considered. We need to review the amount of data that can be transferred through the StormProxies per second. The results we got (see below) are good because they’re cheap and you get unlimited internet access for a month.

• Average Ping: 101ms

• Average Download: 19.95 Mbps

• Average Upload: 12.86 Mbps

Stormproxies Dashboard

Storm Proxies dashboard contains most of the necessary functionality. You can update plans, change credentials, whitelist IPs, and access proxy servers. You can also read the documentation and contact support, but only via the email form.

The biggest missing feature is usage reports. Considering that the StormProxies do not throttle traffic, it makes perfect sense to omit it. However, for some users, it can be helpful to see how many requests they made and how many were met.

Fortunately, StormProxies offers a money-back guarantee to all potential customers. 24-hour money-back (refund) is provided for the smallest package per proxy type. You can try out the proxy for 24 hours risk-free. If you are not satisfied, you should contact their representative after payment to change your mind.

All packages are non-refundable except the smallest and cheapest package in the agency category. If you want to try their services, we recommend you start with the lowest plan and upgrade to a larger plan, as this will avoid high fees.

Documentation

StormProxies excels in providing comprehensive and well-documented resources to ensure a smooth user experience. Their documentation is an invaluable asset for both novice and experienced users. The knowledge base offers a wide range of articles and guides, covering topics such as proxy setup, configuration for different browsers and applications, troubleshooting common issues, and optimizing proxy usage for specific tasks. The step-by-step instructions, accompanied by screenshots and clear explanations, make it easy for users to follow along and quickly resolve any queries or concerns.

Additionally, StormProxies frequently updates its documentation to address new features, industry changes, and user feedback, ensuring that users have access to the latest and most accurate information. The availability of comprehensive documentation demonstrates StormProxies commitment to providing a user-friendly and informed experience for its customers.

Customer support

While most other industry players offer live chat and phone support, StormProxies recommends that you contact them via email. Response time is very fast, you will receive a solution to your query within 24 hours. StormProxies has experienced and well-trained staff who are able to resolve user queries within a short span of time.

Please visit the Storm Proxies website for a detailed rate table showing the time frame for processing support tickets. More than 40% of these issues were resolved within an hour and the remainder within 24 hours. The time it takes to resolve a request depends primarily on the complexity of the issue.
