What They Are: These proxies are fixed IP addresses that do not change (unless you request a swap) and come from residential Internet Service Providers, such as AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, etc.

Best For: Activities where appearing as a regular user is crucial, such as accessing geo-restricted content or websites with strict anti-bot measures. Works best for account management on social media and other platforms where the IP associated with the account should not be changed.

Pros: Less likely to be detected and blocked as they appear as real user connections. Not limited by traffic, threads, or number of requests like rotating packages.

Cons: Usually more expensive than datacenter proxies.

What They Are: These proxies provide a fixed IP address from a Data Center, meaning the IP address remains the same during the whole period of usage (unless you request a swap).

Best For: Tasks that require consistent IP addresses or where IP rotation isn’t crucial. Such proxies work best with websites that do not use advanced anti-bot security systems or do not restrict multiple requests from the same IP address.

Pros: Much cheaper than residential proxies, but still stable and reliable for specific tasks. Not limited by traffic, threads, or number of requests like rotating packages.

Cons: More easily detected and blocked by websites compared to residential proxies.

What They Are: These proxies automatically rotate at set intervals or with every new request (depending on your settings) and give you access to a large residential pool of proxies at the same time.

Best For: When you need both IP rotation and the appearance of a real user, such as for large-scale data extraction or for accessing services with strict anti-bot protections.

Pros: Combines the benefits of IP rotation with the less detectable nature of residential IPs.

Cons: Typically the most expensive option, but highly effective in avoiding detection.

What They Are: These proxies automatically rotate at set intervals or with every new request (depending on your settings) and give you access to thousands of datacenter proxies at once.

Best For: High-volume scraping tasks, that is when you need to make multiple requests at high speed without getting blocked, and when IP rotation is essential.

Pros: Helps to avoid detection and blocking by constantly changing IP addresses. Much cheaper than residential rotating packages.

Cons: Can be more complex to set up than static proxies and, unlike residential rotating packages, might not be enough for scraping or accessing some websites with strong bot protection.
