PROXY PROVIDER COMPARISON

ASocksvs NetNut

ASocks documents self-service API search and creation of location-specific proxy ports. NetNut's current site describes rotating and static proxy products plus a managed Unblocker API, with product and volume priced by quote. The useful difference is automated port procurement versus a scoped proxy or managed-access proposal.

for your workload

Compare the actual traffic commitment, session controls and cost of a usable response. If you already fetch and parse pages, run your existing HTTP client against the same permitted pages, country target and session policy on both residential gateways.

How you payThe homepage advertises per-proxy monthly unlimited mobile, residential and corporate plans. Its separate comparison page lists pay-as-you-go residential/mobile GB pricing; check the live account for plan availability, geo restrictions and the actual charging unit.The current NetNut-branded pricing page says usage-based plans are quoted by product, volume and target, with monthly packages and volume discounts. Its Unblocker API page describes success-based charging; no public numeric entry rate or self-service minimum was shown.350 MB trial for $1.95, then prepaid packages from $6.50/GB for 1 GB down to $2.50/GB for 1 TB. Unused traffic never expires.
Integration workUse the documented v2 API to search proxies by country/type or create a proxy port with country, city, ASN, TTL and traffic-limit fields; pass the resulting address and credentials to a proxy-capable client.The current site describes username/password or IP-whitelist authentication for HTTP(S)/SOCKS5 rotating and sticky proxy sessions. It separately describes an authenticated Unblocker API request that accepts a URL and returns rendered HTML.HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 endpoints on three regional gateways: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Export proxy lists in 8 formats for scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers.
A small or irregular jobCompare a monthly per-port commitment against a GB-based pay-as-you-go option only after confirming both are currently offered for your chosen proxy type.Obtain a written quote for the exact proxy or API product and target volume; no current public minimum can be compared to self-service GB prices.Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires.
Browser workflowSelect a residential or mobile port and configure it in your own browser; a sticky/port setting is not a hosted browser product.Ask for a live trial of the rotating or static proxy gateway in your own browser and confirm current service availability before committing.Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile.
Connecting an agentThe v2 search and create-port endpoints let agent code provision proxies; keep the API key server-side and confirm the plan's traffic meter.Use a proxy-capable MCP tool you control or evaluate the quoted managed API; a branded AI-data page is not documentation for a native MCP server.Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser.
A growing production workloadCheck per-port quantity discounts versus metered traffic in the actual dashboard, then sample the exact geography and target before allocating many ports.Validate current network access, sourcing and account terms with a small workload before relying on a volume commitment or dedicated pool.Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB.
Check before moving
  • The homepage shows per-proxy monthly unlimited plans while an official comparison page also lists per-GB pay-as-you-go; confirm which plan and pool are selectable in the account.
  • The provider's cross-vendor performance table is its own marketing comparison, not independent evidence of target success.
  • The older netnut.io domain displays a seizure notice; verify the current account, service, sourcing and domain before purchase.
  • The newer site publishes no numeric entry SKU, and its success/performance figures are provider claims rather than independently measured results.
  • Residential IPs only, with no mobile or datacenter plans.
  • A sticky session holds while the residential device stays online.
THE DECISION

Test provisioning and request a matching quote

For a scheduler assigning city or ASN exits, exercise ASocks' v2 search and create-port fields, including TTL and traffic limits, on the actual target. NetNut describes rotating or sticky HTTP(S)/SOCKS5 gateway access and static ISP options, so ask for the corresponding geography, session behavior and identity term in a written quote. A configured ASocks port and a NetNut static IP should not be treated as the same lease without testing the required continuity.

NetNut's public pricing page gives no numeric entry SKU; include the selected product, target and volume in the quote request. ASocks presents monthly per-proxy and separately described per-GB terms, which need confirmation for the chosen pool. If difficult pages need managed handling, test NetNut's URL-based Unblocker API against your own request code using an ASocks port, counting usable responses and retries. Keep the quoted managed meter apart from port occupancy and traffic.
