The short version
Decodo, formerly Smartproxy, rebranded in 2025. The name in your search history may still say Smartproxy, but the product is Decodo now. The pricing below is from their current page.
Proxynade wins on entry price and access. Volume Residential is $0.89/GB versus Decodo residential at $4/GB pay-as-you-go. Proxynade dedicated Static ISP runs $1.30 to $2.00/IP versus Decodo dedicated at $2 to $2.5/IP. There is no KYC, no minimum, and checkout is crypto or stablecoin. Decodo wins on targeting depth and a 14-day money-back option. The rest of this page shows where each one fits.
Residential GB price, entry to volume
Proxynade Volume Residential is $0.89/GB, billed per transferred byte, with no minimum and no subscription. Decodo residential starts at $4/GB pay-as-you-go and steps down with volume: $3.75/GB at 3 GB, $3.50/GB at 10 GB, $3.00/GB at 50 GB, $2.75/GB at 100 GB, and $2.50 to $2.00/GB at 250 GB and up, as listed June 2026 on their pricing page.
The entry gap is the headline. Proxynade starts at $0.89/GB; Decodo starts at $4/GB and only reaches $2.00/GB at deep volume. Even Decodo's volume floor sits above Proxynade's entry rate, and Proxynade asks for no prepay to get there.
For hard targets, Proxynade Premium Residential is $5.00/GB, billed per byte. That sits in the range of enterprise premium residential, without a KYC step or a minimum. Run Volume on ordinary targets and reserve Premium for sites that block cheaper exits.
Static ISP: dedicated vs shared
This is the split that decides it. Proxynade Static ISP is dedicated, with unlimited bandwidth, graduated per IP: $2.00 at 1 to 24 IPs, $1.73 at 25 to 49, $1.49 at 50 to 99, $1.40 at 100 to 199, and $1.30 at 200 and up. Decodo dedicated pay-per-IP runs $3.33/IP at 3 IPs down to $2.50/IP at 200 IPs, with an entry rate around $2/IP, as listed June 2026. For a dedicated IP with no bandwidth meter, Proxynade is the cheaper option across the range.
Decodo is cheaper if you do not need a dedicated IP. Its shared static starts at $0.27/IP, and shared pay-per-GB starts at $1.30/GB, as listed June 2026. If a shared IP is fine for the work, that price is hard to beat. If you need a stable IP to yourself with unlimited traffic, Proxynade dedicated wins on per-IP cost.
Targeting depth and access
Decodo has the deeper selector set. Its residential page offers continent, country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting, as listed June 2026. If you need ZIP-level or ASN-level control, that is a real reason to pick Decodo. Proxynade residential targets country, region, and city, with ASN targeting on the Premium tier; datacenter targets country.
Proxynade's edge is access, not selector count. There is no KYC, no minimum spend, and no sales call. Checkout is crypto or stablecoin: Litecoin, plus USDT and USDC on BNB Chain and Solana. Session control lives in the username string: base user, then a plan token of volume, premium, or datacenter, an optional country-<cc>, and an optional lifetime-<minutes> rotation window. The gateway is proxynade.net:2555 over http, https, socks5, or socks5h with username and password auth.
Why per-request logs matter on per-GB billing
When you pay per byte, the bill is set by what the provider counts, not by what your scraper kept. Proxynade dashboard network logs record host, outcome, latency, and bytes for each request, and usage logs export as CSV. These are per-connection records, not sampled estimates, so cost per kept result is auditable line by line.
App-level counters show rows kept. Provider counters show bytes moved: CDN thumbnails, failed TLS attempts, retries, and blocked pages all count. A browser-heavy run that looks clean in the scraper report can be ahead on the bandwidth bill for exactly this reason. Write down both numbers before scaling any run, on any provider.
Decodo's dashboard reports traffic usage, requests, and top targets. Check the granularity it exposes before assuming that number matches what you log on the app side.
Trial terms, stated plainly
Decodo lists a 3-day trial with a 100 MB cap and a 14-day money-back option, as listed June 2026. If a refund window matters to you, that is a point for Decodo, and you should read the current terms before relying on it. Proxynade does not publish a free trial or a money-back guarantee, so the entry path is a small paid run rather than a refund promise.
Either way, size the first run the same: cap the job, record provider-reported bytes beside app-reported bytes, and keep failed-request notes separate before buying the larger plan. With per-request logs on Proxynade, that check takes one run and the numbers settle the argument later.
