## Proxycurl Reviews
  ### 1. Avoid - data is rubbish

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cameron R. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Proxycurl?**

Nothing, they were unable to engage with a relatively straight forward problem

**What do you dislike about Proxycurl?**

Avoid - data is just plain wrong and they are putting their head in the sand about it.  They said:

"If this level of accuracy or historical consistency is critical for your use case, we understand that our solution might not be the best fit at this time."

Yes, accurate data is obviously important from a data vendor.

**What problems is Proxycurl solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They didnt

  ### 2. Be aware of their monthly plan!!!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arsen I. | Senior Full-stack Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 30, 2024

**What do you like best about Proxycurl?**

Look appealing and good docs, seems like it works but I'm not sure

**What do you dislike about Proxycurl?**

Pricey! Free credits is not enough to understand if it work or not. A lot of hidden costs inside every api endpoint. But the most helarious thing is that their so called Monthly plan is actually an Annual contract with monthly payment. Be aware!!

> By ticking this checkbox, I agree to a 12-month service contract with Proxycurl as detailed in the sales agreement. I understand that this contract will automatically renew every 12 months unless I cancel it before the renewal date. If I cancel early before the end of the 12-month period, I acknowledge my obligation to pay the remaining balance of the contract term, and I agree that Proxycurl may bill me for this amount. I have read and understood these terms.

**What problems is Proxycurl solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Linkedin scraping

**Official Response from Customer Success:**

> Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience you experienced. We strive to ensure transparency, and the 12-month commitment is shown before proceeding with the payment. However, I understand how this might have been overlooked.

As an alternative, you can use our PAYG option to purchase credits without any long-term commitment.
