Is anyone here ever using Datacenter Proxies from Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)? If yes, then how was it?

Is anyone here using Datacenter Proxies from Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)? It seems it's one of the cheapest datacenter proxy providers alongside Webshare.

My main objective using these ads is

i) Multi-Crypto PTC/Faucet sites

ii) Multi Micro-working platforms

iii) Multi Social Media Accounts

Previously I only knew about 2 cheap datacenter proxies, Webshare and Proxy-Seller IPv6. How does Decodo's datacenter proxy compare to those two?

And additionally, they offer an anti-detect browser called X-Browser. Has anyone used it? Is it impactful like other paid anti-detect browsers like Dolphin{Anty}, ixBrowser, and AdsPower?
 
cant tell if this is a write up or a promo

No, it's not a promo. Decodo email support is not good at all, plus here in BHW I also don't find many reviews about it.
 
Không, đây không phải là chương trình khuyến mại. Hỗ trợ qua email của Decodo không tốt chút nào, cộng thêm ở BHW tôi cũng không tìm thấy nhiều đánh giá về nó.
Yes, i think support of Decodo is not smart ;)

I’ve tested Decodo and similar cheap datacenter providers before, they’re fine for basic tasks but not the most reliable in the long run, especially when running multiple accounts or sensitive operations. Mobile proxies usually give cleaner IP rotation and fewer bans, which is crucial for multi-account crypto faucets or social tasks. As for X-Browser, it does help isolate sessions but in practice, it’s not as bulletproof as some paid anti-detect solutions, think of it as a nice extra rather than a guaranteed fix.

Yes, I also hear mobile proxies are better than any other proxies on the market, but the problem is they're costly on Decodo at $8+VAT/GB, and it just provides me one IP address.

So, I guess this plan is not suitable for crypto faucet work because faucet crypto sites only provide $1-$1.5/month, and if I work 10 sites, it's only $10-$15, so mobile proxies eat all profits.

What is your opinion about Webshare static residential proxies [https://www.webshare.io/pricing]? They offer 100 proxies at $30/month. Are they reliable and good for this type of work?

They blocked many sites, including Coinbase, so it's not a good idea if you want to use it for crypto.

So is is any other best affordable option available for this type of work? What is your opinion about Webshare static residential proxies [https://www.webshare.io/pricing]? They offer 100 proxies at $30/month. Are they reliable and good for this type of work? Although there are many negative reviews about Webshare too.
 
Thanks for this detailed breakdown. Seeing benchmarks and features side by side make it easier to evaluate for crypto faucet or micro task use.

Static residential proxies like Webshare can work for low-volume basic tasks, but for crypto faucet sites that quickly flag suspicious patterns, these IPs often get blacklisted faster. Mobile proxies generally offer cleaner rotations and more natural-looking behavior, which is key if you’re running multiple faucet sites. However, considering your tight profit margins, you’ll need to weigh if the cost of mobile proxies makes sense versus your earnings.

Who is the cheapest, most trustworthy mobile proxy provider in the market?

And one more silly question: does mobile proxy work on Android phones too? I mean, there are too many play-to-earn apps in existence, so if I want to use a multi-clone app, it detects an Android emulator that's not fast enough, plus it's not handy either.

If I am able to increase earning sources using a mobile proxy, it will easily increase my profit margin ratio.
 
I wouldn't recommend using datacenter proxies for social media account creation, most of those proxies are already blacklisted

There isn’t really a universally “cheapest and most trustworthy” provider because it depends on usage and volume. Some reliable mobile proxy providers do work seamlessly with Android devices, which helps bypass detection from multi-clone apps or slow emulators. Generally, mobile proxies offer clean rotations and more natural behavior, which is key when maximizing profit on play-to-earn apps while reducing ban risks.
 
Tried Decodo Proxy and was pretty disappointed. The proxy speed is very slow and connections frequently drop, making it frustrating to use for anything consistent or time-sensitive.

In comparison, Webshare has been a much better option — much faster and more stable. The only downside with Webshare is that they only allow payments via credit card, which might not work for everyone.

Ok, so which type of proxy do you recommend for this type of sensitive work? I find Webshare static residential proxies; they offer 100 proxies at $30/month. What is your opinion about it?

And another infamous "Mobile Proxies"—if "you recommend it, recommend a trusted, affordable mobile proxy provider.

So, not all proxy providers's mobile proxies are able to run on Android phones; it's quite selective, right? I guess you're part of some proxy provider group, are you? If yes, how much do you charge for mobile proxy?

Great, which plan do you buy from Webshare?

Yes, credit cards are problematic, but here in BHW, I introduce a system like the virtual crypto refills credit card option, but yes, I'm definitely not sure about their authenticity.

You’re right, not all proxy providers offer mobile proxies that work smoothly on Android devices, especially for multi-clone or multi-device setups. Some services do provide flexible solutions for this kind of need, but it’s quite specific. Regarding pricing, I can’t share it here directly, but you can check the BHW Marketplace where you can get more information.
 
Hello, I’m also working on Multi-Crypto PTC/Faucet sites. Would it be possible for us to exchange ideas?
 
Haven’t tried Decodo yet. From my experience, cheap datacenter proxies are fine for small tasks like PTC/faucet or micro-working, but social media accounts need more stable IPs.

X-Browser might work, but paid anti-detect browsers like AdsPower or Dolphin tend to be more reliable.
