Residential vs ISP vs Datacenter vs IPv6: which proxy type do you need?

There's no single "best" proxy type — the right choice depends entirely on what you're doing. Here's how the four pools compare.

Residential — from $2.50/GB

Real household IPs with the highest trust score. Sites see a normal home internet connection, which makes residential the safest choice for scraping sites with aggressive anti-bot systems, sneaker/ticket automation, or anything where getting flagged is costly. Billed by bandwidth, with automatic rotation or sticky sessions up to 60 minutes.

ISP — from $1.80/IP

Static IPs registered to real internet service providers but hosted on datacenter-grade infrastructure. You get residential-level trust with datacenter-level speed and stability — a strong middle ground for account management, ad verification, or anything that benefits from a consistent, static exit IP.

Datacenter — from $0.60/IP

Dedicated or shared IPs on our own infrastructure. Unmetered bandwidth, sub-second response times, and the lowest cost per IP — the right pick for high-volume tasks against sites with light or no bot protection, or when raw speed matters more than trust score.

IPv6 — from $0.30/IP

The largest and cheapest pool per IP, useful when a target accepts IPv6 traffic and you need huge scale at minimal cost. Not every site supports IPv6, so check compatibility before committing a workload to it.

Quick decision guide

• Getting blocked constantly on a protected site → Residential
• Managing accounts that need a stable, believable IP → ISP
• High-volume, low-protection targets, cost-sensitive → Datacenter
• Massive scale, IPv6-compatible target → IPv6
