Our pick

Smartproxy (Residential & Datacenter, $7.00/GB) and NetNut (ISP & Residential, $7.50/GB) both target serious proxy users, but they win on different axes. Smartproxy is cheaper ($7.00/GB vs $7.50/GB) — roughly 1× the gap.

Smartproxy built its reputation on ease of use. At $7.00/GB they command a 10x premium over Cheapest-Proxies with no significant performance advantage to justify it.

NetNut differentiates itself with direct ISP partnerships. This makes IPs highly stable but the network is limited to 50 countries. At $7.50/GB they are 10x more expensive than Cheapest-Proxies.
