For our GSocks review, the thing we want most is more information. We like the things we are seeing but we’re not seeing enough to do a very deep dive with this new company.

GSocks is a Delaware, US company that was formed in September of 2023 so they are very new. As a result there is not much feedback on them. But let’s start with what we did see that we liked.

GSocks Review: Pricing

First, we have to talk about “forever data”. One of the biggest cost issues for companies using proxies is that they pay for data upfront and in a “use it or lose it” scenario, they don’t get the value they paid for. GSocks eliminates this issue by allowing users to use all data they have purchased forever, or, as their CEO told us “even after 10 years”.

Add this to some of the most simple and clear pricing tables on their web site and we can already see that pricing policies we found in our GSocks review are very consumer friendly. But what about the prices themselves?

GSocks definitely comes in on the lower end. When compared to sites that target the levels just below enterprise, we see that GSocks beats them with residential prices as low as $3/GB for the 250 GB level. Datacenter proxies prices for GSocks are not as competitive. Mobile proxies prices are quite frankly some of the highest we’ve seen.

So for the latter two, GSocks might not be a good fit, but if you are interested in residential proxies, you might save some money going with GSocks. This might be why GSocks ranks their most satisfied customers as social media users and the SERP use case.

GSocks Review: The Company

As customer feedback is extremely sparse and the company is new, we need to focus on the company itself to fill out our GSocks review.

First, we’ll say the team has been very responsive with us and their CEO appears to be very hands-on which is important. However, we can’t ignore a few things that give us pause at adding them to our top tier Review Scores.

First, they have essentially zero on-line presence. If no one is talking about them, it makes us wonder why. Low social media presence is not problematic in and of itself. However, we were unable to find any substantial reviews on independent review sites like Trust Pilot or BBB. This does not mean GSocks can’t be trusted. There is definitely a lack of data though, so it’s hard for us to get independent information.

They are a Delaware company which could simply be their way of getting more business friendly legal protections, however, Delaware companies can be abused and we did have an address mismatch with the business address they provided us and the one listed with the Delaware company registry.

Finally, we want to be really careful here because this is purely a “gut” reaction, but there is a company called ASocks that was accused by multiple security web sites of being associated with an app that was installing malicious code in apps that were removed from the Google Play store. We want to be clear that we have absolutely zero information linking GSocks to ASocks – and we looked hard for it. The only issue is the similarities in the names. Is there a BSocks – FSocks? We don’t know. But we would be failing in our duty to our users to not inform them of this observation.

That said, if you are looking for residential proxies at a lower price, this company might be worth it if you fully understand that it’s a new company and we don’t know much about it – and the risks that come along with that.
