What is AirProxy?
AirProxy is an Italian mobile proxy provider focused on EU carrier coverage. The company runs a small-team fleet of mobile modems primarily on Italian carriers (Vodafone IT, TIM, Iliad, Wind/3 Italia) with select extensions into other EU markets. Their positioning is "real European mobile proxies" and they've earned a solid reputation in the niche for transparency and customer service.
The product is mobile-only — no residential or datacenter — sold via per-port subscriptions. Like Coronium, the model is dedicated-modem-per-customer for the subscription period.
For Italian-market workloads (Italian e-commerce scraping, regional ad verification, IT-specific SEO tracking), AirProxy is genuinely competitive. For broader US + EU multi-country needs, the structural limitations show.
How does AirProxy pricing work?
AirProxy follows the per-modem-per-month subscription model common to small-team mobile proxy providers. You pick a port (which corresponds to a physical modem in their fleet), pay a monthly fee, and the modem serves your traffic for that period with on-demand or scheduled rotation.
There's no pay-per-GB option. Bandwidth on your modem is essentially unmetered (subject to fair use), which can be advantageous for high-volume single-IP workloads.
The pricing is mid-tier — not the cheapest, not premium. Reasonable value for the niche they serve.
AirProxy coverage and target audience
Coverage is heavily Italy-focused with selected EU expansion. If you specifically need Italian mobile IPs (TIM, Vodafone IT, Iliad), AirProxy is one of the cleanest options available. For broader European or US needs, you'd be combining them with other providers.
The audience is small-to-medium operators who need real Italian mobile presence — local SEO firms, e-commerce scrapers targeting Italian retailers, agencies running ad verification for Italian campaigns.
How PROXIES.SX Pool Gateway compares to AirProxy
For Italian-only workloads, AirProxy may have deeper Italian carrier coverage than our current managed pool. We're transparent about that — Italy is on our roadmap but not a primary geo right now.
For US + UK + DE + FR + ES workloads (or any combination), PROXIES.SX is structurally better: - Single endpoint vs per-port credentials - Pay-per-GB vs flat monthly subscriptions - US T-Mobile / AT&T / Verizon mobile carriers (AirProxy doesn't have US presence) - AI-agent x402 USDC payments - Open-source SDK for users wanting to register their own phones
If you're an Italian operator who needs only Italian mobile IPs and AirProxy's offering fits your workload, they're a fine choice. If your needs span multiple countries or include the US, PROXIES.SX is the right call.
AirProxy structural tradeoffs
As a small team focused on a regional niche, AirProxy carries the typical tradeoffs:
- →Italy-heavy — limited US, UK, DE coverage
- →Per-modem subscription doesn't scale to variable workloads cleanly
- →No residential or datacenter fallback
- →Smaller pool means less redundancy
- →No AI-agent native payment integration
- →Limited dashboard and analytics compared to gateway providers
Migrating from AirProxy to PROXIES.SX
If your workload genuinely requires Italian mobile IPs, hold AirProxy and add PROXIES.SX for non-Italian work. Otherwise:
- →Sign up at client.proxies.sx for proxy credentials
- →Use the username DSL: psx_YOUR_ID-mbl-{country} for any of our supported countries (US, UK, DE, ES, FR)
- →For sustained workloads on a single IP, append -sid-{your_id} for sticky pinning (similar feel to AirProxy's dedicated modem)
- →Pay only for GB used — no monthly subscription
