Residential network and pricing
Decodo lists a 115M+ residential IP pool across 195+ countries, with top regions being USA (7.1M+ IPs), India (9.4M+ IPs), and Germany (2.3M+ IPs). GProxy has 10M+ residential IPs in 150+ countries (live inventory). On price, Decodo's smallest residential plan is $11.25/month for 3 GB ($3.75/GB); pay-as-you-go is $4/GB; volume tiers drop to $2/GB at 1 TB ($2,000/month). GProxy residential is $0.85/GB pay-as-you-go with no monthly minimum and drops to $0.49/GB on volume. A 100 GB scrape: $275 on Decodo (100 GB tier) vs $49-85 on GProxy.
Datacenter — where Decodo is dramatically cheaper
This is the one category where Decodo undercuts GProxy by a wide margin. Datacenter shared at Decodo starts at $0.035/IP/month (100 IPs tier) and drops to $0.02/IP/month at 15,000 IPs. GProxy shared datacenter is $0.50/IP/month — 14x more expensive per IP. However: Decodo's dedicated datacenter ($1.85/IP at 3 IPs, $1.15/IP at 2,000) is roughly on par with GProxy's private datacenter ($1.70/IP). Decodo also offers a per-GB datacenter option starting at $0.6/GB (10 GB) and dropping to $0.38/GB at 10 TB. GProxy does not offer per-GB datacenter — only per-IP.
ISP proxies
Decodo's ISP coverage is 15 countries (US, Canada, UK, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France, Belgium, Poland, Sweden, Spain, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, China) — Western markets focused. Pricing: dedicated $3.33/IP/mo (3 IPs) → $2/IP at 2000 IPs; shared $0.47/IP/mo (10 IPs) → $0.27/IP at 8000 IPs. GProxy ISP is broader regionally with three tiers — shared $1.50/IP/mo (min 20 IPs), dedicated $3.75/IP/mo, and virgin $6.50/IP/mo (0 fraud score guaranteed). Decodo wins on per-IP price for ISP; GProxy wins on the virgin tier and on country breadth.
