I've used the proxyscrape api for a few months now, and yeah, the free tier is pretty unreliable. Dead proxies are a pain, especially when you're scraping at scale.
Paid version is *way* better though. Faster rotation, fewer dead IPs, and the uptime is solid. If you're serious about scraping, it's worth the upgrade.
For alternatives, check out Bright Data or Luminati. They’re pricier but rock-solid for automation.
