Hi
I am doing bot tests on several streaming platforms like pandora and deezer and I am trying to find out what is the difference between 4G mobile proxies and rottative residential proxies and which is the best of them.
 
4G proxies are the best for automation and bots, but it all depends on your use case. If the bots you platforms you use do not flag easily, you could use a cheapish residential proxy. If you need to be trusted by the platform, then 4G proxies will have the highest trust score. Combines this with browser profiles and masking... and that's how you avoid detection
 
thank you very much, I am really struggling now between spotify which bann and pandora where you see that the stream goes up but in the end at the payment the stream no longer counted, I move forward in the blur.

4g proxies are the best.

But it does not mean that they are best for your use case.

The difference is that 4g is considered more trustworthy.

You have to consider price/quality ratio in your setup to find what works best for you.
thank you for your answer I'm looking for proxies with bandwidth unlimited for streaming bot (pandora, spotify ...)
 
The real difference between 4G (mobile) and residential proxies is the actual ISPs (Internet Service Providers) of the used ISPs.

Using mobile proxies you will get IPs from AT&T, Vodafone, Orange, Verizon, etc (Mobile operators).

Whereas, if you use residential proxies, you can get IPs from Comcast, BT (for UK), Cox, CenturyLink (broadband - landline operators).

This is the only difference - and there isn't really a better of worst option because all IPs are real IPs used by real people (not datacenter IPs).

However, different proxy services might offer different settings. Thus, you should look for features that align with your project's goal.

For example:
  • if you need to scrape or send traffic that do not require account logins and you only need to access a large IP pool in short periods of time, you need a service with fast rotation time, or request-based rotation. And many residential services tend to be built in this way (short rotations, request-based rotation, access to multiple IPs at once).
  • if you need to manage accounts and hold a certain IP for longer periods (minutes, or even hours), you need IPs that rotate less often. And in this case, many mobile proxy services are built in this way (they offer longer IP rotation times - making them a poor fit for scraping, but ideal for account logins).
 
and 4g are more trusted when it comes to account making
Yes, always. It's because the platforms think you are on a mobile connection... this is much more trustrworthy than a residential IP where you could be creating loads of accounts.... lol
 
Nobody explained the NAT technology?


4G mobile proxies - those IPs uses the NAT technology and that make it unbannable. Yes, if they are spammed and abused they can be flagged (or the trust score might be lower), but the IPs can't be banned. So that's the main difference.

Best Regards

Thank you so much
 
4G proxy is better.

If you connect to a mobile internet like 3G or 4G it automatically gives you a ip to connect you to internet. Every time you disconnect and reconnect it gives you a new ip. 4g proxy providers put sims on modems and gives you access to it.


Residential proxy is different.
Residential proxies are from broadband connections just like what you, me and others are using now. Rotating proxy means it will change to a different ip after a period of time.

mobile proxies change the final ip address every few hours, they can be used repeatedly even after bans. resident proxies have a static final ip if it is banned on some resource, then this is like everything
 
4G proxies are better on any account creation , also residentials are good for stealth process
