I have been working in the field of social media for a long time, and for me personally, the issue of finding reliable proxies has always been difficult. Usually, proxy ranking sites were limited only to descriptions and referral links, and it was never clear what their rating was based on, which is why I often ended up spending money testing different proxy services. Based on all this, I decided to try to make a system for searching for proxy services according to the parameters needed by the user, compare providers and save the results.
The system takes into account the type of proxy, country, budget, traffic volume, and other requirements. Then it compares providers based on how well they match these requirements, publicly documented features, prices, and available sources of information.
Affiliate commissions don't influence the ranking.
I haven't run my own performance benchmarks yet, so performance scores don't affect the recommendations.
How do you currently choose proxy providers, and what matters most to you when comparing them?

What do you actually look at when choosing a proxy provider?

I'm working on ProxyClarity, a tool for comparing proxy providers based on specific requirements rather than a generic ranking.

One thing I'm trying to handle carefully is missing data. For example, I haven't run my own performance benchmarks yet, so I don't include unverified speed or reliability scores in recommendations.

I'm curious how other people approach this.

When choosing proxies for scraping or automation, what matters most to you: price, location, IP type, sticky sessions, success rate, or something else?
