The honest NetNut alternative
NetNut built their reputation on static ISP proxies sourced directly from carriers. The speed is real, but so is the pricing and the lock-in. Rainproxy ships the same kind of ISP-backed IPs on a month-to-month basis with public, per-GB pricing.
ISP-grade reliability, without the ISP-grade contract.
Why teams leave NetNut
NetNut's best rates require 12-month deals. Ours match those rates with zero commitment.
Their entry tier is $300+/mo. Ours is whatever you want to load.
City targeting is patchy on their ISP layer. Ours covers 700+ cities natively.
Critical issues route through email tiers. Our chat connects you with engineers directly.
