How to Compare Proxy Providers

Not all proxies are created equal. Here are the key factors to consider when comparing two proxy services side-by-side.

✅ IP quality (residential, mobile, ISP, or datacenter)
✅ Rotation type: sticky vs rotating proxies
✅ Speed, stability & success rates in real tests
✅ Location targeting & pool size
✅ Dashboard features, filters, and integrations
✅ Pricing per GB or IP — and support terms

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best proxy type for scraping large websites?

Residential rotating proxies are ideal for large-scale scraping. They offer real-user IPs with low block rates, high success rates and flexible rotation.

How is a datacenter proxy different from a residential proxy?

Datacenter proxies are fast and cheap but easier to detect. Residential proxies route traffic through real devices, making them more stealthy but often slower and pricier.

Are mobile proxies better than ISP proxies?

Mobile proxies offer high trust levels due to carrier IPs, perfect for social platforms and sensitive targets. ISP proxies are more stable and faster for long-term sessions.

Which proxy provider is best for SEO tools?

Providers with static or sticky session support, like NetNut or Smartproxy, tend to work best for SEO bots and SERP scraping due to consistency and IP control.

Should I use static or rotating proxies for automation?

Rotating proxies work best for scraping and bulk tasks. Static proxies are better for login sessions, automation flows or managing multiple accounts on one platform.
