Verdict

Summary

Big service with even bigger prices, banned on Trustpilot, proxies quality itself may vary, especially with residential plan. Provider also offering 'Web Unblocker' product, where you can access restricted pages (price is $1 per 1,000 requests) and which I didn't tested for obvious reasons. Verification is processed by iDenfy, requires a document and a selfie, pretty easy and fast.

Pros

  • proxy quality is decent
  • zero technical issues

Cons

  • damn expensive
  • residential pool seems exhausted
  • trustpilot page is banned

Description

orders dashboard
You may ask - why the hell did you put orders dashboard instead of proxy generator screenshot? Well, it's purpose is to point out that you are ordering a monthly subscription and not Gb. I didn't realize it until latest order notification, so be careful. Obviously it's my fault, just don't want you to go the same route (even with all those juicy referral pennies). And mobile generator looks exactly the same as residential one, so you can just look at it. Speed is decent with only 1 failed download request. Risk score is 11/100, didn't include it in stats because tomorrow all these devices will have new IPs with new scores. Overall would be decent proxies if not for this price.

Description

I mean, it's very high chance that these are same devices used in Mobile (Gb) plan and with $10.62 per day I refuse to spend money on it now (you can get dedicated mobile proxy for less than $2/day in US).

Description

proxy generator
Residential proxies are pretty slow with speed often drops below 1Mbps and 25% of proxies being under 2Mbps, but at least we know it's real shitty devices. Median latency is also around 0.6s which is not terrible, but I wish proxies were a bit more responsive. Targeting is poor, you can choose either region or city with no options for ASN/ISP and ZIP. While risk score is decent, there's a ton of IPs with medium risk level (for example, out of 957 IPs - 776 has low level and 163 has medium) which is not a good sign to be honest.

Description

proxy ordering page
Put a proxy ordering page instead of dashboard, because latest isn't very informative, just a string with your proxy. As you can see - plenty of options to spend your money on. You probably want to select zero fraud score option since regular gave me 30/100 when testing.

Description

proxy ordering page
Same screenshot situation as in ISP - ordering page tells more than a dashboard. Proxy is fast, 69 Mbps is definitely nice. As promised when ordering - 0 Risk Score. Assigned ASN was 211415 (Karolio IT paslaugos, UAB), which is Lithuanian company which is not very unusual, but keep in mind that either ASN or location (US) can be interpreted wrong by some systems.

Trustpilot

Banned by Trustpilot
Being banned is always a red flag and latest reviews are mixed - some users are satisfied but most have problems with both proxies and the service itself. People were complaining about residential proxy quality, presenting datacenter proxies as residential and refusing to give refunds. However everyone agreed that support responds fast, so there's that.
