Hello everyone! Hope you all doing good.

I'm looking for providers offering mobile proxies or residential proxies that support rotating IP addresses. My main goal is to find IPs that haven't been spammed yet and can pass PixelScan or similar tests.

  1. If anyone has experience with providers offering these types of proxies, could you please share your recommendations?
  2. Any insights on the pricing differences between mobile and residential options? Is the price difference significant?
  3. Suppose I get a rotating residential proxy, the IP pool will be from that particular city or worldwide? And what about Mobile proxy, the IP range will be similar?

Thanks in advance!
 
The set of IP varies depending mainly on the population of the country, the more population, the more set of IP it will surely have.

There are more mobile IPs than residential ones, that's for sure. Remember that a residential IP is more like a home IP, and a mobile IP is like a phone.

I think that the use is according to where you are going to use it, because if it is a mobile phone, use an Android emulator, and if it is residential, I recommend a web browser with protection.

hay Paablo of your looking for proxies take a look here

You can search in the marketplace (https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/proxies-for-sale.112/) as many sellers have listed their services there.
 
Hey there!

Regarding your questions:
Question 2: Generally, mobile proxies are pricier because mobile IPs are more trusted by websites.
Residential proxies might offer IP rotation, but it's limited to a certain pool. Some of these IPs might already be flagged, leading to a ban if you use them.
Question 3: It depends on the specific proxy provider's terms.

Also, I want to point out that proxies alone (even mobile ones) aren't a way around PixelScan, as it mostly concerns your browser. So, you should think not just about choosing proxies, but also about using an anti-detect browser.

This also applies for mobile IPs right even though chance is slightly less due to larger IP pool or no chance at all, mobile IP doesn't get repeated?

So, you should think not just about choosing proxies, but also about using an anti-detect browser.
Yes. I will be using anti-detect as well.

my choice is,
1. brighdata
2. soax.io

How's your experience? What's the average price do you pay per GB?

No, it's not quite the same for mobile IPs. You see, mobile IPs are almost always "dynamic". This means the way mobile networks operate ensures these IPs don't belong to just one user, but rather change hands constantly. Websites are well aware of this, and they can tell that the IP belongs to a mobile operator.
That's why websites generally aren't interested in blocking mobile IPs. And that's precisely why mobile IPs are the best proxy option.

what the hell? resi and mobile are sourced differently, that makes the pricing difference, not the IP quality, jesus christ.

You're right, but there's more to it.
Ofc residential, server, and mobile proxies come from different processes. But it's not just the cost thing, market demand plays a big part too :)

About the costs, it's not that simple. True, mobile internet usually costs more than wired (like for residential and server proxies). But then again, a single mobile proxy server gets you into a huge IP pool (the whole network of a cell tower and mobile operator), and switching a mobile IP costs nothing. And because they're so dynamic, mobile IPs hardly ever get banned by websites, unlike residential/server ones, which can get easily burned, affecting their market value, not just the cost.

No. Both models have incredibly high ROI so market demand doesn't play a role, both proxy types have huge marked demand and they don't compete much because of how differently they are used.

To get one residential IP it costs about $1 from tier 1 country. To get 1 mobile IP would cost a device + carrier bill.

I would even say that residential have higher demand than mobile proxies. So by your logic - mobile proxies should cost less than residential. Important: we do not mix ISP/residential here, these are two different proxies. Im talking about only real residential that have IP pools including mobile IPs from home routers too.

Residential proxy providers don't obtain IP's same as mobile providers, they are sourced differently, this comparison is wrong: residential IPs are obtained via hacked devices or PPI software installed as a backdoor for example when you install Hola VPN - you agree that your device will be used as proxy. Or via services like honeygains where people get small fraction of the price that proxy client pays the company.

Check this out, I've done the math for mobile IP:
- You just need to buy a device once. For example, Alcatel 5033d phones work great, and they're like max 80 bucks on Amazon. These phones can easily run non-stop as a mobile proxy server for a couple of years (my own has been going for 5 years now as a proxy server, lol). But let's say two years. That's 24 months for an 80-dollar phone. So, the monthly cost of the device is around 3 bucks.​
- If you hustle a bit, in the US you can sign up a SIM card for an organization on a long-term contract, paying about 30 dollars a month for unlimited internet.​
- Throw in another 10 bucks for a service that turns your phone into a proxy (not counting bulk rates)​
That gets you to 3+30+10 = 43 dollars a month for unlimited mobile proxy traffic with free IP rotation, even every minute if you want.

Dude, and you can get mobile IP just like that, for example by integrating a backdoor into a "match-3" game. There are hundreds of those games. By the way, one of our competitors got busted for this by a three-letter agency back in 2021. And overall, getting residential IPs isn't only done through shady methods, so my comparison is pretty legit.

I'm glad we're having this chat. It's a fascinating topic, and I hope it's intriguing for the forum too.

Sooo we do agree that obtaining 1 proxy do cost a lot more in mobile than it's for residential.

Thus the pricing difference and the reason why mobile costs way more.

That was all what I wanted to say tbh, it was just weird that you said that it's the quality that determines the price.

p.s. I don't like your business, scammers use it and I lost more than $600 and support didn't do shit about it even when you found out the guy was scamming - you still allowed him to continue his 'business' using your software, because why lose the client, right?

Haha, "1 proxy" — sure. But the "1 IP" thing is kinda iffy... :anyway:
Thanks for the chat and the solid points!

ps. Man, I read up on your case. You bought a proxy from our client who advertised in our Telegram community. After your complaint, we cut off his ability to promote in our community.
Also, we've now set up a separate category for "trusted sellers". Their reliability is garanted by a deposit, and now we compensate any losses to end buyers of proxies. We've also brought on a full-time lawyer who provides security advice for both buyers and proxy farmers.
I'm not sure how much these steps, taken after your incident, can satisfy you.

Personally, it ticks me off when brands make a big public show of "handling the negative" by saying they'll return all your money and kiss your ass to make it all look good for the audience. We really messed up in your case and didn't provide the satisfaction you deserved. But we're seriously taking steps to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. We'll do better.

You seem like a pleasant person to argue with. I wish would experience the same when talking to your company in private back then.

Cutting off him from being able to use your service would be a better decision.

Thank you, I highly appreciate it.

I sent you a private message my brother
 
You will need to find proxy providers with large pools of IP's in the millions if you need some that aren't spammed to death
 
Dude, I've been using Oxylabs 4G proxies along with Adspower anti for my social marketing campaigns for over a year now, and I've never encountered any issues with high fraud score IPs. Their pool is over 100 mil so there is a low chance of catching a spammed IP
 
Both mobile and residential rotating proxies have their merits. My need was usually on the residential proxy side, Oxylabs has been ok for me with their broad IP distribution, for my private web scraping and SEO tasks. It's beneficial to assess the specific requirements of your project to determine the best fit.
