SerpProxies and Decodo, compared on what you actually pay and what you actually get — with the rows where Decodo wins left in.
Prices and policies checkedDecodo (formerly Smartproxy) is the bigger operation: a 115M+ IP residential pool, ZIP and ASN targeting, scraping APIs and a stated ISO 27001 certification. It is also the more expensive one for residential traffic — $3.50/GB at 10 GB on a monthly plan and $2.00/GB at 1 TB, against our $1.15/GB and $0.65/GB pay as you go — and SerpProxies adds a larger no-card trial, UDP, IPv6 and unlimited proxies.

Prices at the same volume, then the policies that decide whether a cheap gigabyte stays cheap. A tick marks the better side of each row.

Each figure is the cheapest way to buy that much from the provider's own published price list: when a plan's minimum is larger than what you need, you pay for the whole plan, and a bigger plan wins whenever its lower rate makes up for it. Taxes excluded. The lowest cost in each row is blue.
Up to 2 GB of residential traffic with no card. Point the same scraper or bot at our gateway and compare success rates on the sites you actually use.
Facts from their own site and policies — no review-site hearsay. Each one is linked to its source.
Create an account and use the free residential traffic on the sites you actually scrape or run — no card needed.
Replace host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most code doesn't change.
Top up a balance that never expires and shift traffic job by job. The per-GB rate drops automatically as your volume grows.
Swap host, port and credentials, keep your targeting in the username, and move volume over job by job.

Try it with up to 2 GB of residential traffic free. No credit card.
Yes. Decodo is Smartproxy's new name: its About page describes Decodo as "formerly known as Smartproxy", in business since 2018, and Proxyway reported the rebrand in April 2025. The prices on this page are from decodo.com, checked October 2026.
For residential proxies, yes, from the first gigabyte. As of October 2026 Decodo costs $3.50/GB at 10 GB (its 10 GB monthly plan) and $2.00/GB at 1 TB (Enterprise); SerpProxies is $1.15/GB and $0.65/GB, pay as you go with no plan to renew. Both include city and ASN targeting.
Yes, a 3-day trial with 100 MB of traffic for new users on most proxy types; dedicated ISP and dedicated datacenter proxies are excluded, and the plan activates after the trial. SerpProxies gives up to 2 GB of residential traffic free, with no card.
Within 14 days of a first self-service purchase per service, if you've used no more than 20% of the plan's traffic or 1 GB, whichever comes first. Crypto payments, plans started from a free trial and Enterprise plans are excluded. SerpProxies refunds on request under its satisfaction guarantee.
Decodo runs an automated check at registration and asks for ID verification through a third-party tool if suspicious activity is detected. SerpProxies asks for KYC only when a risk check calls for it.
Decodo sells scraping APIs (Web, eCommerce, SERP and social media) and a Site Unblocker; SerpProxies sells no scraping APIs. SerpProxies sells IPv6 proxies, UDP on residential and unlimited-bandwidth residential plans, which Decodo doesn't list.
Create an account, claim the free trial and swap the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string the same way, so most scrapers and bots need no code changes.
