Decodo

Decodo fits small and mid-sized teams that want residential proxies on a self-service account, with per-GB rates that fall as the monthly bundle grows. The subscription and pay-as-you-go residential plans list the same features, so a buyer spending $4 on a single GB gets the same pool, ZIP and ASN targeting, sticky sessions, SOCKS5 and 24/7 support as one buying 100 GB a month.

Pay as you go costs $4 per GB, drawn from the Wallet one GB at a time. Monthly bundles cost less per GB as they grow: 3 GB for $11.25 ($3.75 per GB), then $3.50, $3.25, $3.00 and $2.75 per GB at 10, 25, 50 and 100 GB, and Enterprise bundles go down to $2 per GB at 1 TB. A team using 50 GB a month pays $150 on the 50 GB bundle against $200 on pay as you go, plus VAT either way. Mobile traffic costs twice the residential rate at the small end, $7.50 per GB on the 2 GB bundle ($15 a month) or $8 per GB pay as you go, and dedicated ISP IPs start at $9.99 a month for 3.

The billing rules need watching. Pay as you go and a subscription can't run on the same account, and cancellations or plan changes take effect from the next billing cycle, so a paid month runs to its end. The trial lasts 3 days with 100 MB of residential traffic, then the chosen plan starts automatically unless it's cancelled in Billing. Refunds cover a first purchase within 14 days, and only if no trial was used and less than 20% of a regular plan's traffic is gone. Decodo also blocks banking sites, government portals, streaming platforms, app stores and ticketing services.

Choose Decodo for steady residential workloads, from a few GB up to 1 TB a month, where bundle pricing and self-service setup are what count. Teams with irregular traffic may prefer IPRoyal, whose residential traffic never expires, at $7.35 per GB for a 1 GB pack or $5.51 per GB at 10 GB. Companies that need residential targeting by carrier, or hosted browsers for Puppeteer and Playwright scripts, can look at Bright Data at $8 per GB pay as you go, provided they pass its company KYC review.
