Use cases
Ten workloads that need proxies, each with the product we recommend, why, a worked example, and the mistakes that cost the most.
The full set
Each page states the problem in the terms the team hits it, names one recommended product and the condition that changes the answer, and ends with a worked example you can paste.
A crawler that works on your laptop and dies at 50,000 pages a day is not a code problem, it is an exit-IP problem. Rotating residential egress moves the failure rate from double digits back under one percent without touching your parser.
Repricing on stale or personalised data is worse than not repricing at all. A monitoring fleet needs the price a shopper in that market sees, on the cadence your pricing team actually acts on.
The creative you paid for either rendered in the placement you bought, in the market you targeted, or it did not. Verifying that requires loading the page the way the audience did — on a carrier IP, in their country, on their device class.
A ranking is not a property of a keyword; it is a property of a keyword, a location, a device and a moment. Tracking it honestly means issuing each query from the place it is supposed to represent.
Desk research that only ever sees one country's version of the internet is not research, it is a sample of one. Country-targeted exits let a small team observe forty markets the way a customer in each of them does.
Infringers do not show their listings to the brand. Monitoring from ordinary consumer addresses in each market is how a trust and safety team sees the same storefront a customer is about to buy from.
Platforms do not object to an agency running many client accounts. They object to many accounts sharing one address and one browser fingerprint. Giving each account a stable, dedicated identity is the difference.
Airline and hotel pricing is point-of-sale dependent, session-bound and heavily defended. Collecting comparable fares means fixing the point of sale, holding the session, and spreading the search load across many exits.
Catalogue, availability, ratings and seller data change hourly and are served differently to every visitor. Collecting them at catalogue scale is a routing problem: cheap exits for the easy pages, residential for the ones that fight.
Threat infrastructure behaves differently depending on who is looking. Attributable, dedicated exits let a research team observe it without exposing the organisation's own ranges or contaminating a shared pool.
Choosing
One recommendation per workload, with the entry price resolved from the same pricing tiers checkout uses. Where a second product is the better answer under a stated condition, the use-case page says so.
| Use case | Recommended product | From | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| proxies for web scraping | Rotating residential proxies | $2.65/GB | Bandwidth billing matches how a crawl actually scales: a job that fetches 400 KB pages costs what it costs whether it runs on 4 threads or 400. |
| price monitoring proxies | Rotating datacenter proxies | $1.20/GB | Catalogue pages on most retailers are cheap to fetch and lightly defended, so the datacenter pool collects them at roughly half the per-gigabyte cost of residential. |
| ad verification proxies | Mobile LTE proxies | $1.60/IP/day | Mobile inventory is gated on carrier ASN, and a dedicated LTE port is the only exit type that satisfies that gate honestly. |
| SERP tracking proxies | Rotating residential proxies | $2.65/GB | Search defences discount hosting ASNs first; a consumer ISP exit clears the same volume with a fraction of the challenge rate. |
| market research proxies | Rotating residential proxies | $2.65/GB | Research is breadth-first: the pool covers every seeded market, and the country is a segment of the credential rather than a separate purchase. |
| brand protection proxies | Rotating residential proxies | $2.65/GB | Cloaking decisions key on the visitor's network, and a consumer ISP exit is what makes the ordinary version of the listing render. |
| social media proxies | Static residential (ISP) proxies | $3.50/IP/wk | An account's address should not change, and a static ISP lease is the only product here that guarantees that. |
| travel fare aggregation proxies | Rotating residential proxies | $2.65/GB | Supplier defences weigh ASN reputation heavily; consumer ISP exits clear search flows that hosting ranges do not reach at all. |
| e-commerce data proxies | Rotating residential proxies | $2.65/GB | Product detail pages on large marketplaces are the pages that fail first, and residential egress is what makes them succeed consistently. |
| cybersecurity research proxies | Dedicated datacenter IPv4 | $2.00/IP/wk | A dedicated address is not shared with another tenant, so its reputation reflects only your own activity — which is what makes an observation attributable. |
Entry prices are the rate at the smallest purchasable quantity. Volume breaks apply automatically and are listed in full on the pricing page.
