## When is Webshare the better fit?

When you want to pay by card, or want other proxy types in the same account: Webshare also sells datacenter and static residential proxies.

For US city-level residential work paid in crypto, the trade-offs flip. Webshare's residential plans are monthly and shown as discounts from $7.00/GB; MetroProxies sells blocks that do not reset, at $0.59/GB for 10 GB in October 2026, and asks for no identity documents.

## How do I point a Webshare script at MetroProxies?

Replace the endpoint and the username, keep the password field for your MetroProxies password:

- Endpoint: `gw.metroproxies.com:7777` (or `:7778` for SOCKS5).
- Username for a city: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ut-city-salt_lake_city`.
- New IP per request: open a new connection for each request; to keep one IP, add `-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}`.

## What else do people ask about switching?

### Why pay for proxies in crypto?

Some buyers prefer not to share card details or upload identity documents with each provider they test. With MetroProxies you top up a balance in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and your account number is your login; email is optional. Send the exact amount shown, click I've sent the payment, and the top-up is credited once confirmed.

### Is the Webshare price really a sale?

That is how Webshare shows it: on 18 October 2026, each tier displayed a $7.00/GB price struck through next to the discounted price, with no end date. We record the price you would pay and mark it as a sale.

### Does MetroProxies have a free plan?

No free trial: test with the 1 GB plan, paid from the minimum top-up; the rest of the top-up stays on your balance.
