What Honeygain publishes about pay
Every figure below is taken from Honeygain's own website (honeygain.com), checked on 27 September 2026. Where Honeygain does not state something on a page we could read, we say it is not published.
Honeygain pays in credits for data shared. Its "What is Honeygain" page says rates are higher where demand for bandwidth is greater. Its "Sell internet data" page states: "You earn 1 credit per 10MB shared - 10GB earns $1". Its payouts page says 10,000 credits are worth $10.

- →Minimum payout: $20 (20,000 credits), per honeygain.com/honeygain-payout
- →Payout rails: PayPal (USD); gift cards and crypto via JumpTask (honeygain.com/honeygain-payout)

How the PROXIES.SX peer network sets pay
PROXIES.SX does not publish a per-GB payout rate. Rates are set per partner and may be fixed or a share of collected revenue; there is no universal public percentage. The live rate is the earningsPerGB value returned when you register a device.
IP type is classified on the server by ASN, not by what the device reports. Mobile carrier IPs are the highest tier, residential the middle, and datacenter IPs are rejected for customer listing.
Registration does not guarantee traffic or earnings. Earnings depend on eligible traffic your devices actually serve and on your active partner terms.
- →Payout settings: native SOL, native BTC and USDC on Solana, in the farmer account; payouts are request-based, so confirm timing with support
- →Minimums: $10 for Android SDK devices and $5 for AI agents through the withdrawal API; manual requests from $0.01 of approved earnings
- →Software: Android SDK (MIT licence, on GitHub), headless Linux Go binary, Windows Node.js client
- →No supplier referral programme; identity and business verification is being prepared
Which may suit you
Honeygain may suit you if you want PayPal payouts, a published credit rate, or a macOS client.
PROXIES.SX may suit you if you want payout settings in SOL, BTC or USDC on Solana, run a headless Linux machine on a residential or mobile connection, or want to embed the MIT-licensed Android SDK in your own app.
We cannot say which pays more for your devices: Honeygain publishes a credit rate, and PROXIES.SX sets rates per partner. For all eight apps side by side, see /alternatives/bandwidth-sharing-apps. For how supplying works, see /earn.
