Verdict

Summary

Decent service, residential proxies are infiltrated with datacenter ASN but at least they can be filtered out. Minimal order is $5 for trial version of each plan (available only once) and I'd say it's enough to test. Premium residential plan is the same as regular, so be aware and not overpay by accident.

Pros

  • $5 trial plan
  • cheap price for gb

Cons

  • minimal order is $50 outside of trial
  • datacenter infiltration in residential plan

Description

Dashboard has plenty of settings to setup
Paid trial is available for new users, you can test each plan for $5 (for 5Gb) which is nice because without it minimal order is $50. Traffic has no expiration date. Residential pool is infiltrated with datacenter proxies (12.7% of IPs belongs to ASN 40403, Rocks Computer Services and 5.5% - to 400463, DynaNode LLC), but at least you can filter it out with ASN exclude option (tested this feature and didn't get those ASNs at all, which is why in tests it's yellow and not red). Every targeting setting shows number of available IPs which is awesome and every provider should have it. However, targeting anything deeper that a country results in x2 bandwidth usage (doesn't affect ASN exclude). I've tried 'Anonymous filter' and only thing I've noticed is higher speed (14.48 instead of 6.97 without the filter), everything else is nearly the same.

Also AND IT'S IMPORTANT - premium residential plan is exactly the same (stats-wise) as regular while costs 5 times more.

Description

Options are the same as in other plans
Trial plan costs $5 for 10Gb. As in residential and mobile plans - you can choose region, city etc. but it will cost you x2 of bandwidth. IPs are nicely spread through different ASNs (biggest one is only 10% of all IPs). Not the fastest proxy, you can rarely see datacenter being slower than mobile proxies.

Trustpilot

Banned by Trustpilot
Despite being banned - there are some reviews, most negative claims linked to bandwidth usage which many users claim more than it should be. But my favorite is the review which starts with 'Victim-blaming support!' (didn't have a chance personally to talk to the support, but it's still hilarious)
