Compare Proxidize Mobile and Residential proxies by coverage, plans, IP behavior, and use case to pick the right product for your workflow.
Proxidize offers two managed proxy products: Mobile Proxies and Residential Proxies. This guide helps you pick the right one based on where you need IPs, how hard they need to be to detect, and how you plan to use them.
If you're still learning the basics, start with What are Proxidize Proxies?
Choose Mobile Proxies for the most authentic, hardest-to-block IPs: Ideal for account management, social media, and ad verification. Available in the United States only.
Choose Residential Proxies for broad global coverage across 190+ countries with city and ISP targeting, ideal for scraping, monitoring, and geo-targeted work, especially outside the US.

Mobile proxies route traffic through real devices on U.S. carrier networks. Because carriers share IPs across many real users (CGNAT), mobile IPs are very hard for platforms to block, which makes them the strongest choice for account management, social media, and any workflow that benefits from a genuine mobile identity.
They come in two plans:
Per Proxy: a dedicated proxy with its own controls and rotation options (rotate button, scheduled interval, or rotation URL). Best for long-running, per-account workflows.
Per GB: usage-based access to the shared mobile pool through Access Points. Best for variable or large-scale mobile workloads.
Mobile proxies are U.S.-only. For any other country, use Residential. To compare the two plans in depth, see Per Proxy vs Per GB.
Residential proxies use real home-ISP IPs from a pool spanning 190+ countries, with city-level and ISP-level targeting. They're the right choice for:
Web scraping and large-scale data collection
Any work that needs coverage outside the United States
Residential is Per GB only, and unused data rolls over, it never expires.
Need U.S. mobile IPs or account-safe identities → Mobile
Need a specific country outside the U.S., or the widest coverage → Residential
Want the lowest entry price → Residential Per GB, our lowest perGB rate
Both products work with any proxy-compatible tool and are managed from your dashboard at app.proxidize.com. When you're ready, follow the Quick Start.
