Decodo Residential Proxies

Overview

Decodo Residential Proxies routes traffic through residential IP addresses, making it a fit for developers and teams collecting public data or working with location-sensitive services. It is strongest when ZIP-level targeting, flexible sessions and broad tool support matter; residential bandwidth costs and the trial’s automatic conversion are reasons to weigh before signing up.

Key features

The service offers more than 115 million ethically sourced IPs across 195+ locations, with targeting by continent, country, state, city, ZIP code, ASN or ISP at no extra cost. That granularity is useful for price monitoring and geo-specific research, but is less relevant for work that does not require residential addresses. Connections support HTTP(S), SOCKS5 and endpoint:port formats.

Rotating sessions assign a different IP per request, while sticky sessions retain an address for minutes to days. The choice accommodates both frequent IP changes and workflows that need continuity. Decodo reports average response time below 0.5 seconds, a 99.92% success rate and 99.99% uptime; those figures describe the service, not guaranteed outcomes for every destination.

Integration materials include copy-paste configurations for more than 50 browsers, scrapers, automation tools and mobile apps, along with code examples for Python, Node.js, cURL, Go, PHP and Java. The dashboard tracks traffic and requests, supports per-user traffic limits, and includes team collaboration, subscription management, spending analytics and whitelisting. Organizations can request SSO. Plans include 24/7 technical support, and Decodo says the proxies are protected with 256-bit SSL and certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Pricing

Residential bandwidth plans are billed monthly, with VAT added to the stated totals. The 3 GB plan costs $3.75 a month, or $11.25+ VAT monthly, and suits a small workload. The 10 GB plan costs $3.50 a month ($35+ VAT monthly); 25 GB costs $3.25 a month ($81.25+ VAT monthly); and 50 GB costs $3 a month ($150+ VAT monthly). The 25 GB tier is a middle ground for regular collection, while the larger tiers lower the per-GB rate for heavier use.

The 100 GB plan costs $2.75 a month ($275+ VAT monthly). Enterprise tiers reduce the rate further: 250 GB costs $2.50 a month ($625+ VAT monthly), and 1 TB costs $2 a month ($2,000+ VAT monthly). Pay as you go costs $4 a month, with purchases in 1 GB increments, making it a higher per-GB option for variable or occasional demand. Every listed bandwidth tier includes the 115M+ IP pool and 195+ locations.

New users can try 100 MB for three days. The selected plan activates automatically afterward unless canceled, and the 14-day money-back option does not apply to this trial. KYC is required. There is no free plan, so ongoing use requires a paid plan.

Platforms

Decodo supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows and web use, as well as API and extension integrations. Its guides also cover browsers, mobile devices and automation software including Scrapy, Postman and AdsPower.

Who it's for

This is a strong fit for developers, research teams and organizations that need residential IPs for public-data collection, price monitoring, competitive intelligence, geo-specific access or AI and LLM training data collection. The detailed location controls and session choices suit varied collection workflows, while team controls and traffic limits help manage shared usage. It is a weaker fit for anyone seeking a free ongoing allowance or whose workloads do not justify residential-proxy pricing.

Pros and cons

Pros: ZIP, ASN and ISP targeting costs no extra, giving location-sensitive work fine control.

Pros: Rotating and sticky sessions, three connection formats and extensive integration guidance accommodate different workflows.

Pros: Team administration, per-user traffic limits and 24/7 support make it more manageable for shared use.

Cons: There is no free plan, and VAT is added to monthly bandwidth plan totals.

Cons: The trial converts to the selected paid plan unless canceled, and its 14-day money-back option is excluded.

Cons: KYC is required, which may not suit users seeking an account without identity checks.

Alternatives

Residential Proxy Services is the broader category directory for comparing providers. Choose Bright Data Residential Proxies if a paid provider with a free trial and usage-based Pay As You Go plan is a better fit. Consider Rayobyte if you want a freemium option with a free plan and rotating data-center tiers. Webshare is another freemium choice, with a free proxy server plan including 10 proxies and 1 GB monthly bandwidth.

Node4 Residential Proxies offers a freemium alternative with residential plans starting at 3 GB for $7.47 a month. OctoProxy has a free 30-day residential trial plan with unlimited bandwidth and 100 threads. Proxiware is a paid alternative. HProxy is a paid alternative with a free plan. BuyProxy is a freemium alternative with a free tier.

Verdict

Decodo Residential Proxies is a strong choice for teams and developers who need precise geographic targeting, rotating or sticky residential sessions and tools for managing shared bandwidth. Its clearest reason to choose it is the combination of fine targeting and broad integration support; look elsewhere if you need a free ongoing plan or want to avoid KYC and a trial that activates a paid subscription unless canceled.
