What is Mars Proxies?
Mars Proxies is a proxy network with four proxy types: residential (1M+ IPs across 195 countries, from $1.65/GB), datacenter (about 100K IPs, from $0.89/proxy), ISP/dedicated (from $1.35/proxy), and mobile 4G/5G/LTE (from $2.83/day). Plans are pay-as-you-go or subscription-based, with no contracts or traffic expiration. It ships an API with Python, Node.js, and cURL examples, browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, mobile apps for Android and iOS, an IP lookup tool, a proxy checker, city-level geo-targeting, and HTTP/HTTPS plus SOCKS5 support.
Our verdict
The four proxy types, no-contract pricing, and companion tooling (API, extensions, mobile apps) suit teams that want IP access without lock-in, but there is no JS-rendering scraping API, structured-data extraction, or self-hosted option, so it works as a proxy layer rather than a full scraping stack. Its press mentions (PCMag, ZDNet, TechJury) are self-reported on the homepage and not independently verified here.

Proxy networks sell access to large pools of IP addresses across residential, datacenter, ISP, and mobile types. They are the layer underneath most large scraping operations, deciding whether a request looks like a real user or a bot. These are the proxy-first vendors serp.fast leaves out and webscrape.dev covers in full.
