Residential Smart Proxies

The cheapest entry into our 10M+ residential pool, billed per GB.

See plans
What's the difference between Residential Smart, Exclusive and Premium?

Residential Smart is our 10M+ entry pool at the lowest price per GB. Exclusive adds IP-quality scoring, city + ASN targeting and priority routing. Premium is a separate 110M+ pool, re-scored daily, with the lowest ban rate.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. Every tier shares the same dashboard, API and credits. Move up or down whenever your workload changes.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Create a new account with Google and receive 250 MB free on residential per-GB plans, no credit card required. ISP Shared also offers a paid 1-hour trial at $4.99. Unlimited Residential does not include a free trial; instead it has an Hourly plan at $20 for 1 hour on a 200 Mbps port.

Exclusive Residential Proxies

Curated 15M+ residential pool with city + ASN targeting and IP-quality scoring.

See plans
What does 'IP-quality score' mean?

Every session reports a 0–100 score combining fraud-list status, ASN trust, and recent block signals. Filter low scores out via header or API.

How granular is the targeting?

Country, state, city, ASN and carrier on supported regions, all included in the per-GB price.

Is this enough for sneakers or social?

For most targets, yes. If you need the cleanest US/EU residentials and the lowest possible ban rate, step up to Premium.

Premium Residential Proxies

110M+ premium residential IPs, the largest premium pool on the market.

See plans
Why are they called Premium?

Not marketing. Premium Residential is a separate 110M+ IP pool where every exit is re-scored daily on real, strict targets. IPs that drift out of the top band rotate back to standard tiers, so Premium always holds the cleanest residential IPs we have. It is the largest pool we operate.

How does launch pricing work?

Starter traffic is $2.49/GB and the rate drops automatically with volume. $1.49 at 100 GB, $0.99 at 500 GB and just $0.80/GB at 1 TB. The 1 TB rate is a launch discount and is our lowest premium rate right now.

Is this safe for account warmup and sneakers?

Yes. Premium is pre-tuned for SNKRS, Shopify, Adidas, Supreme, major ticketing platforms and social account management.

Can I mix tiers?

Absolutely. Route easy targets through Residential Smart or Exclusive and keep Premium for the tough ones. Same API key, one header switch.

Unlimited Residential Proxies

Unlimited GB on a dedicated residential port, 200 to 1000 Mbps

See plans
Is bandwidth really unlimited?

Yes. You pay for port speed and duration; we never meter your GB.

Can I target a city or state?

No. Unlimited Residential supports country targeting only. Sticky sessions (with a configurable time) and per-request rotation are both available. For city, state or ASN targeting use Premium, Exclusive or Smart Residential.

Is there a free trial on Unlimited?

No. Unlimited plans have no free trial. Instead we offer the Hourly plan: $15 for 60 minutes on a 200 Mbps port, no commitment.

I need a lower price than the list rate.

Contact us. For larger or longer commitments we quote custom pricing below the public list price.

Mobile 4G / 5G Proxies

Real carrier IPs that look like real phones · billed per GB

See plans
Are these real phones?

Yes. Every mobile session exits through a real carrier handset on a real cellular network.

How is mobile billed?

Per GB. Bundles run from 1 GB at $3.10 down to $2.50/GB at 100 GB, and your traffic never expires. We do not currently offer dedicated per-IP mobile plans.

Can I rotate on demand?

Yes. Rotate per request, or hold a sticky session for up to 60 minutes.

Which carriers?

AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and 29 international carriers across 14 countries.

Datacenter Proxies

100 Gbps backbone · sub-100ms · ruthless throughput

See plans
Why so cheap?

Datacenter IPs share clean subnets we own and have peering with major Tier-1 providers.

Do you support sneaker sites?

Yes. Growth Unlimited and above include sneaker-grade subnets and SSL handling.

Can I get a private subnet?

Enterprise Unlimited supports dedicated /24 subnets with allowlisted egress.

ISP Proxies

50,000+ US-based static IPs · pay per GB, unlimited, or dedicated IPs

See plans
Are these really residential?

The IPs are assigned by real residential ISPs (AT&T, Comcast, Spectrum). Only the hosting is in our DC.

How long do I keep an IP?

Dedicated IPs are reserved for as long as you keep the monthly subscription active.

Can I buy 1,000 IPs?

Yes. Bulk pricing kicks in automatically at 50 IPs and again at 500 IPs.

IPv6 Proxies

Effectively infinite IP space at the lowest cost

See plans
Will my targets accept IPv6?

All Google products, YouTube, AI APIs, Cloudflare, AWS, and most modern targets. Yes. We'll route IPv4-only sites over our v4 fallback automatically.

How does the /64 subnet help?

Each request can rotate through a fresh IP in the subnet. Effectively unlimited rotation on a flat monthly fee.

Is residential IPv6 real?

Yes. Real residential ISP-assigned IPv6 ranges from Comcast, Spectrum and major EU carriers.
