Choosing the Right Proxy Type

Proxy Type Comparison

Proxiware offers 6 proxy products. Each one is built for a different balance of trust level, speed, and cost. Use this guide to find the right fit for your use case.

When to Use Each Product

Premium Residential

The best all-around choice. Real residential IPs across 100M+ addresses in 165+ countries. Use this when you need broad targeting options, high success rates on protected targets, and the flexibility to switch between rotating and sticky sessions. Supports OS-level targeting (Android, Windows, Mac) and ASN/ZIP targeting for precise geo-control. Protocols: HTTP, SOCKS5, SOCKS5-UDP. Pricing: per GB.

Eco Residential

Same controls as Premium — rotating, sticky sessions, HTTP/SOCKS5/SOCKS5-UDP — but on a smaller pool and at a lower price per GB. A good fit for scrapers and monitors that do not need the full Premium pool and want to keep costs down. Targeting: Country, State, City. Pricing: per GB.

Unlimited Residential

No per-GB meter. You pay a flat rate for a time period (1 day, 7 days, or 30 days) and use as much bandwidth as your operation demands. Best for continuous, high-volume tasks where metered pricing would be expensive. Speeds configurable from 200 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Protocols: HTTP, SOCKS5. Targeting: Country, City. Pricing: per day, week, or month.

Static ISP

A fixed IP that never rotates, sourced from real ISP networks. Use this when your task requires a consistent identity over time — managing social media accounts, automating logins, or running long-term monitoring from a stable address. Available in 8 countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and China. Protocols: HTTP, SOCKS5, SOCKS5-UDP. Pricing: per IP per month.

Mobile Proxies

4G/5G carrier IPs with real mobile ASNs. The hardest proxy type to detect and block. Use this for targets with the most aggressive anti-bot measures — social platforms, ticketing sites, and anything that specifically targets datacenter or residential IP ranges. Supports HTTP and SOCKS5 with sticky sessions. Targeting: Country. Pricing: per GB.

Datacenter Proxies

The fastest option in the network. Sub-50ms latency, high concurrency, and volume discounts. Best for large-scale tasks on targets that do not aggressively block datacenter IPs — price monitoring, public data collection, testing, and internal tooling. Protocols: HTTP, SOCKS5. Targeting: Country. Pricing: per GB.

Endpoints

All per-GB products (Premium Residential, Eco Residential, Mobile, Datacenter) use proxy.proxiware.com:1337. Unlimited Residential uses unlimited.proxiware.com. Static ISP proxies connect directly to the assigned IP.
