PROXY PROVIDER COMPARISON

Bytefulvs GonzoProxy

Byteful's per-IP dedicated datacenter or static ISP products target a fixed exit; GonzoProxy's residential traffic is prepaid by GB with rotating or sticky sessions and no stated expiry. The distinction matters for a browser that revisits an account versus a sporadic location-targeted crawl.

What changes
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.

Charging basisTraffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port planTraffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port planPrepaid GB that never expires
How you payDedicated datacenter and static ISP products are priced per IP with subscription-cycle and quantity discounts and an unlimited-bandwidth claim subject to fair use. Residential and mobile pools are data-based; retrieve the live catalog for available products and prices.Residential traffic is purchased in GB with volume-based tiers and no stated expiry. Mobile proxies are sold for a paid period with unlimited traffic during that period; confirm the location and current term at checkout.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 workThe documented API exposes proxy type filters, service/usage controls and a public checkout catalog; choose datacenter or ISP fixed IPs versus residential/mobile list endpoints, then configure the assigned proxy in a client.Generate residential proxy credentials in the dashboard; connect over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 with username/password or IP authorization and select rotation, session and location. A separate account API documents proxy management.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 jobA per-IP fixed proxy makes sense when one address carries sustained traffic; use a data-metered residential/mobile plan when many rotating exits matter.A prepaid residential GB balance can suit sporadic jobs because GonzoProxy says it does not expire; estimate browser asset traffic before buying.Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires.
Browser workflowA static ISP lease offers a fixed browser exit; residential/mobile list products rotate and need session settings in the browser client.Use a sticky residential session for multi-page account work and configure the browser's HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 proxy; GonzoProxy is selling the proxy connection, not a hosted browser.Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile.
Connecting an agentUse Byteful's catalog API and proxy-user controls for provisioning, then put the gateway in your MCP browser/fetch tool; its agent guide frames Byteful as raw network access.Pass GonzoProxy gateway credentials to an MCP browser/fetch tool you operate, or use its account API for management; verify your tool's proxy and credential support.Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser.
A growing production workloadSeparate IP count and subscription term from residential/mobile data usage, then check live inventory and fair-use terms for the chosen geography.Residential volume tiers and enterprise quotes exist; test the exact target and session policy before committing traffic for an entire fleet.Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB.
Check before moving
  • Per-IP dedicated products and metered rotating pools have different cost drivers and cannot share a single headline price.
  • ISP inventory and carrier availability are dynamic; check a desired ASN or location before ordering.
  • The residential product is metered by traffic; a long browser session can consume more GB than a small HTTP scrape.
  • Its separate mobile offering is sold by time, so do not apply residential per-GB terms to mobile.
  • Residential IPs only, with no mobile or datacenter plans.
  • A sticky session holds while the residential device stays online.
THE DECISION

Test the identity duration the task really needs

For a browser that must use one assigned exit over sustained activity, evaluate Byteful's ISP or dedicated datacenter term and its fair-use conditions. GonzoProxy's sticky residential setting can hold a session for a visit but is not the same purchase as an assigned static IP. Configure the selected proxy in the same browser, complete the actual navigation and note when an identity change would break the workflow.

For short residential jobs separated by long idle periods, GonzoProxy's stated non-expiring purchased GB is the relevant comparison with Byteful's data-based residential catalog, not its per-IP products. Include browser assets or crawler retries in transferred traffic. Byteful's API can expose current product availability and buying options; check the chosen rotating pool and tier there. GonzoProxy's separate unlimited-traffic mobile offering is time-based, so it cannot inherit the residential balance terms in a mobile comparison.
