Decodo Residential Proxies

Overview

Decodo Residential Proxies routes requests through residential IPs for teams that need location-specific access or collection workflows. It is a strong fit for developers who need detailed geo-targeting and a choice of rotating or sticky sessions, but bandwidth costs, KYC and a trial that activates a paid plan unless canceled make signup terms important.

Key features

The network spans more than 115 million ethically sourced residential IPs across 195+ locations. Targeting covers continents, countries, states, cities, ZIP codes and ASNs or ISPs at no additional cost, giving teams meaningful control for geo-specific data collection and monitoring. HTTP(S), SOCKS5 and endpoint:port formats help it fit a range of proxy workflows.

Rotating sessions change the IP per request, while sticky sessions retain an address for minutes to days. That flexibility suits both collection jobs that benefit from 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; these service metrics should not be read as a guarantee for every destination.

Setup support is a strength for teams integrating proxies into existing tooling: Decodo offers copy-paste configurations for more than 50 browsers, scrapers, automation tools and mobile apps, along with examples for Python, Node.js, cURL, Go, PHP and Java. The dashboard tracks traffic, uploads, downloads and requests, supports per-user traffic limits, and includes collaboration, subscription management, spending analytics and whitelisting. Organizations can request SSO. Plans include 24/7 technical support, and the service states that its proxies and Scraping API are certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Pricing

Residential plans are bandwidth-based and billed monthly, with VAT added. The 3 GB plan costs 3.75 USD per month, or $11.25 plus VAT monthly, at $3.75/GB. It is the smallest listed monthly allocation, appropriate for limited workloads; the 10 GB plan costs 3.50 USD per month, or $35 plus VAT monthly, at $3.50/GB. At 25 GB, the popular plan costs 3.25 USD per month, or $81.25 plus VAT monthly, at $3.25/GB. The 50 GB plan is 3.00 USD per month, or $150 plus VAT monthly, at $3.00/GB, while 100 GB is 2.75 USD per month, or $275 plus VAT monthly.

Pay as you go costs 4.00 USD per month, billed at $4 plus VAT, and purchases are made in 1 GB increments. It avoids committing to a larger monthly quota, but carries the highest per-GB rate. Enterprise tiers reduce the unit price for higher volume: 250 GB costs 2.50 USD per month ($625 plus VAT billed monthly), and 1 TB costs 2.00 USD per month ($2,000 plus VAT billed monthly). Those allocations make sense only when usage can support the larger spend.

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 the trial. KYC is required. There is no free plan; the trial is a short evaluation window, not a continuing free allowance.

Platforms

Decodo supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows and web, as well as API and browser-extension workflows. Its guides for browsers, mobile devices and automation tools make it a practical option for teams mixing scripts with established applications.

Who it's for

Decodo is best suited to developers and teams collecting public data, monitoring prices, tracking competitors, accessing location-specific content or assembling AI and LLM training data. ZIP and ASN/ISP targeting, session controls and broad integration material are useful when workflows depend on location or tooling fit. It is less compelling for tasks that do not need residential IPs or for buyers seeking a free ongoing tier.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Targeting from continents down to ZIP codes and ASNs/ISPs is included without an added targeting fee.
• Pros: Rotating and sticky sessions cover both per-request IP changes and longer workflows that need address continuity.
• Pros: Extensive setup examples, team controls, traffic monitoring and 24/7 support address integration and administration needs.
• Cons: Monthly costs scale with bandwidth, and the smallest listed monthly plan still bills $11.25 plus VAT.
• Cons: The 100 MB trial lasts only three days and automatically activates the selected plan unless canceled; it also excludes the 14-day money-back option.
• Cons: KYC is required, and no free plan is offered.

Alternatives

Compare the Residential Proxy Services directory if you want to weigh a broader set of providers. Choose Bright Data Residential Proxies if a no-commitment, usage-based Pay As You Go option at 4.00 USD per once better fits your purchasing needs. Rayobyte is worth considering when a free plan or rotating datacenter proxy pricing is a better match. DataImpulse offers datacenter plans, including a 10 GB introductory plan for new users at 5.00 USD per month, for buyers considering that proxy type instead.

IPnivo Residential Proxies has an API platform and a five-day test plan with 2 GB traffic and 195 locations; choose it if that test format suits your evaluation better. HProxy is another option to compare. NodeMaven offers a one-time paid trial with 750 MB and no expiration date, ending when the traffic is used. Webshare has a free proxy server plan with 10 proxies and 1 GB bandwidth per month for buyers who need an ongoing free tier. Node4 Residential Proxies is another residential option to compare.

Verdict

Choose Decodo if your team needs residential IP coverage across many locations, precise geo-targeting and session options that can plug into developer workflows. Its integration resources and administration tools strengthen the case for a team deployment. Look elsewhere if a free ongoing plan, less restrictive trial terms or lower bandwidth commitment matters more than residential targeting depth.
