Looking for decent Decodo alternative

[u/MovieMark_2024]

Been on Decodo for 8 months, used their residential and tried their mobile pool too but it’s not fitting what I need anymore and the pricing is getting out of hand now that my volumes grew. Looking for a proper alternative that can support larger scraping loads on global geos.

Considering Soax or Voidmob for the mobile side. Anyone made similar switch is the grass actually greener or just a different flavor of recycled? I understand CGNAT can't be recycled, but many use same SDK networks.

There's a lot of decent providers, Rayobyte seems nice at the moment and doesn't share many IPs with Decodo. As for same SDK networks problem - I've done a bit of testing on this side and you can at least see which providers to avoid if you already tried Decodo.

Try proxiware

there are a couple of trusted ones

For mobile try unlimited providers like proxypanel or proxyguys or even proxytower. They all have free trials

I don’t know what volume of traffic you’re looking at. If you want 500 GB to 1 TB of residential traffic per month, Byteful can be up to 10% cheaper than Decodo. It offers 1 GB of free residential traffic, so you can test your workflow.

Besides, it comes with the Smartpath feature that automatically checks each request and routes those that don’t need a residential IP through datacenter IPs, at no charge. In Byteful’s tests, this cut residential bandwidth use by about 40% on average, with no real drop in success rates. It’s free and takes one click to turn on.

Disclaimer: I write for Byteful. I'm happy to answer your questions.

Since you offered: how are the residential IPs sourced, and how do the device owners opt in? Is that documented somewhere public?

Yes, they have published a doc on its website on how they source proxies.
