Choosing a proxy type
The five products differ in where the IP comes from, how long it stays yours and how you pay for it. This page helps you pick one before you spend money, and points to the cheapest way to test it.

Side by side#
| Type | Where the IP comes from | Good for | Poor fit for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | Real home devices, a pool across 229 countries | Scraping at scale, price and SERP monitoring, ad verification, checking a site from many countries | Long-lived logged-in accounts on rotating sessions, streaming lots of video (every byte is billed) |
| ISP | A static address registered to a home internet provider, hosted in a datacenter | Social media and marketplace accounts, anything that needs one stable identity for months | Jobs that need hundreds of countries or a new IP every minute |
| Datacenter | A dedicated address in a datacenter | Bulk requests to tolerant targets, APIs, SEO tools, anything where speed and price matter most | Sites with strict anti-bot checks that flag hosting networks |
| Mobile | A real 4G or 5G modem or phone on a carrier SIM | The strictest platforms and mobile apps, where carrier IPs are trusted most | Cheap bulk traffic |
| MTProto, WEB | Telegram proxy servers | Opening Telegram where it is blocked or slowed down | Anything other than Telegram |
A quick way to decide#
- You log in to accounts and keep them for weeks. ISP. The IP never changes during the term, and the OS fingerprint can be set per order.
- You collect public data from many pages. Residential with rotating sessions, or datacenter if the site does not block hosting networks.
- You need a specific city. Residential, where cities are listed for most countries. Mobile in the US is also sold by city.
- The platform blocks everything except phones. Mobile.
- You only need Telegram. MTProto, or a WEB proxy for Telegram Desktop on networks that slow MTProto down.
Static or rotating#
A static IP (ISP, datacenter) is one address that is yours for the whole term. Websites see the same visitor every time, which is what you want for an account and what you do not want for a crawler that sends thousands of requests.
A rotating IP (residential) changes on every request unless you ask the gateway to hold it with a sticky session. Mobile sits in between: one address at a time, changed when you press the button or on a timer.
Test before you commit#
- Datacenter has a 1-day plan with a single proxy.
- Residential can be bought from 1 GB.
- ISP starts at one proxy for 30 days.
- Mobile can be rented for one day.
