Our verdict
Decodo offers the best price-to-performance ratio in the industry. It delivers roughly 90% of what the enterprise leaders provide — high success rates, a large clean pool, sticky sessions, an unblocker — at a fraction of their cost.
The dashboard is the friendliest of any major provider, the 14-day money-back guarantee removes the risk of trying it, and support actually responds. The main gaps are enterprise-grade compliance tooling and the very deepest targeting, neither of which most teams need.
For startups, solo developers, and any team that wants professional results without enterprise pricing, Decodo is our top value pick and an easy recommendation.

Overview
Decodo — formerly Smartproxy — is widely regarded as the best balance of price, performance, and usability in the proxy market. Since 2018 it has focused on making professional-grade proxies accessible to startups, solo developers, and growing teams, without the enterprise pricing or complexity of the largest providers.
Network and coverage
Decodo runs a 115 million+ residential IP pool across 195+ locations, plus mobile, ISP (static residential), and datacenter options. Sessions can be rotating or sticky, and targeting reaches country and (on most plans) city level. The network is known for high success rates that rival far pricier competitors.
Who it is for
Decodo is the go-to for teams that want most of the enterprise feature set at half the cost. A clean, genuinely beginner-friendly dashboard, transparent pricing, a 14-day money-back guarantee, and responsive 24/7 support make it one of the easiest providers to adopt. Its Site Unblocker handles tough anti-bot targets, and a browser extension plus quick-start tools lower the barrier for newcomers.
Trade-offs
You give up some of the deepest enterprise compliance tooling and the most granular targeting found on Bright Data or Oxylabs. But for the vast majority of scraping, social-media, and market-research workloads, Decodo delivers comparable results at a meaningfully lower price — which is why it is one of our most-recommended providers.

Frequently asked questions
