Compare proxy types
Four proxy types side by side, with the facts that decide between them: how you’re billed, how sessions work, where IPs are, how you connect and whether you can buy today.

Compare proxy types side by side
Residential comes in three plans with one syntax: Solve (our lowest-cost residential plan), Scale and Opus. Mobile uses the same credentials and syntax on its own host and port. ISP and datacenter IPs are static and come with their own credentials.

Which proxy type fits your job
Start from what the job needs. Each card names the product that matches it.
Residential
You want a different exit IP per task, an exit country chosen per request and per-GB billing, for example to check public prices in several countries.
Mobile
You need mobile network exits for mobile web and app checks, such as how your own site or ads appear to mobile users in another country.
ISP
You need one IP for weeks, for example to allow it on your own staging firewall. Available through sales while checkout is paused.
Datacenter
You test and monitor systems you control from fixed IPs in the US, Germany, the UK or the Netherlands. Available through sales.
Residential plans compared
The plans differ in which upstream residential pool they route to and in price. Connection syntax is identical, so you can switch plans by changing the host and port.

| Optional pools | None | None | Two on eligible accounts, shown in the dashboard as Opus Extended and HighSpeed |
Pricing is graduated per order: each GB is charged at the rate of its band. Every band is on residential proxy pricing.
About the Solve plan
Solve forwards your HTTP(S) traffic through residential IPs. It does not solve CAPTCHAs, render JavaScript, retry requests or modify your traffic. If a website presents a CAPTCHA, login wall or other challenge, it reaches your client unchanged. Use of the service is subject to our Terms and to the terms of the sites you access.
What netdash doesn’t do
Check these before you choose a proxy type.
No CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering, retries or unblocking
netdash forwards your traffic unchanged, so a challenge reaches your client exactly as the website sent it.
Targeting below country level
You choose the exit country; you can't select a city, region, ZIP code, ASN or carrier.
Authentication by IP address
Every request uses your username and password.
A public account API or SDK
None is needed: it's a standard HTTP proxy, and usage lives in the dashboard.
Published uptime figures or an SLA
We don't publish uptime figures or offer an SLA.
