Compare four paid, shared rotating proxy pools by origin, targeting controls, session behavior, and current entry terms, then connect through one gateway format.
Paid access only · no free trial · current minimums and payable totals appear before checkout
Choose by network origin
Start with the route the destination actually requires. Then compare targeting controls and the smallest current paid order before sending traffic.
Shared and rotating, not a static ISP address. Availability varies, and requested sticky continuity can end early.
Fewer targeting dimensions and a shorter sticky window than Premium Residential.
Not a device, SIM, modem, subscriber, or exclusive IP. Carrier and radio generation are not selectors.
Not a dedicated or static allocation. Country-or-continent controls and route availability are product-specific.
Connection proof
Every product uses the same gateway. The zone field selects the network, while optional credential fields select supported location and session controls.

Username anatomy · assembled in credential order
USERNAME-Control keyzone-Network valueresidentialSupported country and sticky-session controls append to this same username; the client integration does not change.
Keep one entry point
Password loaded at runtime · HTTP(S) proxy connection
Prove the exit
Rotating mode asks the gateway to select an available route on a new connection. It does not guarantee a different IP for every application request.

Review in order · verify every term
ISP, residential, carrier, and hosting-network routes are different products, not quality tiers.
Location and session controls are product-specific. Confirm the supported dimensions before checkout.
Current pricing pages pair every per-GB rate with its orderable quantity and payable total.
Start with the smallest suitable paid order and verify observed behavior before scaling.
Buyer FAQ
Start with the origin and targeting controls the authorized workload requires. Premium Residential adds granular location controls; Residential Flex is the budget residential option for country-or-continent selection; Mobile supplies shared carrier-network routes; Datacenter supplies shared hosting-network routes.
No. Databay is a paid service with no free trial. Each pricing page shows the current smallest orderable quantity, unit rate, payable total, and traffic validity before checkout.
No. These four products are shared rotating pools billed by bandwidth. Premium Residential is not a static ISP allocation, and Datacenter is not a dedicated or static IP product.
The gateway host stays the same. A zone field in the generated username selects Residential, Residential Flex, Mobile, or Datacenter, and additional supported fields select location or session behavior.
The unit rate applies to a specific orderable quantity. Compare the payable total and allowance together; lower per-GB rates may require a larger package.
