How to Choose the Right Proxy Type

Different tasks require different levels of IP trust, stability, rotation, and budget.

• Datacenter proxies — best for high-volume scraping of low-security or unpopular websites. Cheapest and fastest option, but also the easiest to detect since they originate from hosting providers.
• ISP proxies (static residential) — a good choice if your target blocks datacenter ASNs but you still need a stable IP for login sessions. Residential ASN while remaining static makes them more trustworthy than datacenter proxies.
• Residential proxies — recommended for scraping popular platforms with stronger anti-bot systems, providing a good balance between cost and detection resistance.

Manual work and automation have different requirements too:

• Mobile proxies — a strong option for manual multi-accounting on social platforms. Mobile carrier IPs typically have higher trust scores, and rotation makes blocking more difficult, though they are more expensive and usually slower.
• Residential proxies — suitable for automation or frequent availability checks (for example, sneakers or digital items), and often more cost-effective than mobile proxies.
