Verdict at a glance
Position #15 of 15 tells the story: GeoSurf is the legacy brand running on reputation, with stable sessions and polished tooling that no longer justify the steepest per-gig price in our table. Our live tests recorded 95.5% success against mixed targets, and the community rates it 3.7/5.
Score breakdown
GeoSurf overview
An early mover that once defined premium residential proxying, it now competes mainly on stability and name recognition rather than price.
The current catalogue spans residential, mobile 4G/5G; support runs account managers, and the absence of a trial means budgeting a paid pilot.
Pricing breakdown
| Product | Entry price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Residential | $6.00/GB | Subscription plans |
| Datacenter | n/a | Not offered |
| Trial | — | Paid pilot required |
Volume tiers reduce rates meaningfully; quote-based enterprise deals go lower still.
Proxy types offered
- Residential: sold under this account with geo filters.
- Mobile 4G/5G: included; pairs with both HTTP(S) and SOCKS5.
Key features
- City/ASN-level geographic targeting across the pool.
- Rotation plus sticky sessions.
- Account managers for issue resolution.
- Straightforward dashboard for credential and usage management.
- HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 protocol support for broad tooling fit.
Performance in our benchmark
In our 1.2M-request round, GeoSurf held 95.5% success with solid latency. Pool depth (2.5M+) occasionally strained under concurrency spikes in our tests.
What we like

What could improve
- Most expensive per GB we tested
- Small pool and high minimums
