Proxidize vs Decodo: which proxy provider fits your workflow?

Yes. Smartproxy rebranded to Decodo on April 22, 2025. Accounts, subscriptions, gateway addresses, and pricing carried over unchanged — only the brand name and domain (smartproxy.com to decodo.com) changed.

Per gigabyte, yes, on both products at most volumes. Mobile: Proxidize is a flat $2/GB versus Decodo's $3.75 down to $2.75/GB; at 100 GB/month that's $200 versus $275. Residential: Proxidize is a flat $1/GB versus Decodo's $3.75 down to $3.00/GB; at 50 GB that's $50 versus $150. One honest caveat: Decodo's small mobile bundles (2 GB for $7.50, or pay-as-you-go from $4/GB) undercut Proxidize's 25 GB minimum for very light usage. Pricing changes, so verify both providers' live pricing pages before buying.

Breadth versus focus. Decodo is a broad web-data platform: mobile, residential, ISP, and datacenter proxies, plus a Web Scraping API, Site Unblocker, AI Parser, Fast Search API, and an MCP server. Proxidize is a focused mobile and residential proxy provider built around real mobile carrier IPs across multiple countries and simple flat-rate per-GB pricing. If you want a global, all-in-one data platform, Decodo is the better fit; if you specifically need mobile IPs in the countries Proxidize covers at a lower published rate, Proxidize is.

Not at the same scale. Proxidize mobile proxies are available in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and India, with city-level targeting in each. Decodo's mobile network spans 160+ locations and 700+ carriers worldwide. For broader global coverage, Proxidize also offers residential proxies across 195+ countries.

Decodo advertises a larger pool (115M+ IPs across 195+ locations) with ZIP-code targeting. Proxidize residential is ethically sourced from opt-in applications, priced at a flat $1/GB versus Decodo's $3.00 to $3.75/GB, supports city and ISP-level targeting, and unused bandwidth rolls over instead of expiring.

Yes. Decodo publicly sells ISP (static residential) proxies from $2.50/IP on its largest published tier, and datacenter proxies from $0.026/IP or $0.47/GB. Proxidize doesn't currently offer either — it focuses on mobile and residential proxies.

Not with either provider for standard plans. Proxidize plans are self-serve with credentials ready in under a minute and no credit card required. Decodo offers a 3-day free trial (100 MB) and self-serve monthly subscriptions or pay-as-you-go billing.

Proxidize is SOC 2 Type II attested and ISO 27001 certified, holds a 4.8/5 rating on Trustpilot and 4.7/5 on G2, and backs purchases with a 30-day money-back guarantee subject to usage and policy limits. Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) holds a 4.4/5 rating on Trustpilot (roughly 2,000 reviews) and 4.6/5 on G2 (546 reviews), and offers a 14-day money-back guarantee with terms.

Both providers require responsible use. Proxidize is built for legitimate public-web-data collection and requires KYC (Know Your Customer) verification from every customer — see Proxidize's Acceptable Use Policy for details. Decodo's License Agreement sets out its own usage terms; see each provider's policy for the specifics.
