Don't trust pool sizes. Count live IPs.
Advertised pool sizes count every IP a network sees in a month. We count the ones that actually answer while you crawl. We sent the same test to 16 residential networks in 5 countries: same requests, same server, same settings, one network at a time.

| United States | 250,000 | 212,212 | 150,512 | 140,811 | 138,914 | 139,334 | Top |

| France | 80,000 | 49,449 | 43,179 | 36,888 | 36,678 | 26,877 | Top |
| Canada | 70,000 | 45,517 | 35,953 | 28,783 | 35,560 | 31,723 | Top |
| Germany | 60,000 | 22,428 | 25,202 | 23,804 | 23,580 | 16,711 | 4th |
| All five countries | 560,000 | 390,093 | 306,410 | 276,680 | 281,121 | 260,977 | Top |
Across all five countries Shifter returned 390,093 live IPs, against 306,410 for Webshare, 281,121 for Decodo, 276,680 for Oxylabs and 260,977 for Infatica. Germany is the one exception: Shifter placed fourth there, about 5% behind third place.
Shifter also had the widest spread of networks in the US (1,828 distinct ASNs, against 1,591 for Oxylabs), France (147) and Canada (308). More networks means the traffic is harder to block as a group.
These counts come from fixed test sizes, the same volume every provider gets so the comparison is fair. A bigger run reaches more of the pool: with more requests, Shifter returned 450,000+ live US IPs.

ISP Proxies: pick the city, pick the ISP
Real residential IPs from home ISPs. You choose the city and the ISP (ASN) for every proxy, and it keeps both for the whole billing period, while its address refreshes naturally like a real home connection. That looks far more human than an IP that never changes.
- 120 countries, 1,800+ cities, 900+ ISPs (ASNs). Put every IP in one city or spread them across as many as you need.
- City and ISP locked for the whole billing period.
- Real IPs from Tier 1 home ISPs, not datacenter ranges.
- Unlimited traffic on every IP.
- HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, API access, instant activation.
- Live stock by location: see how many IPs are free in every city and ISP before you buy.
| Plan | IPs | Price | Per IP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | 4 to 15 | from $10/month | from $2.00 |

Which pool should I pick?
Full Geo if you need city or ASN targeting, Country Geo if a country is enough, Non-Geo for the lowest price when location does not matter.

Yes. Use sticky sessions to keep an IP for up to 30 minutes, or rotate on every request.
Is there a thread limit?
No. Concurrent connections are unlimited on every plan.
Which protocols and tools work?
HTTP(S) and SOCKS5. Anything that accepts a proxy works: browsers, anti-detect browsers, scrapers, bots and any HTTP client.
Can I switch pools or plans later?
Yes, from your dashboard.
