Question 1

Is Decodo the same company as Smartproxy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Smartproxy rebranded to Decodo in April 2025 — same team, same infrastructure, new name and expanded tooling (Web Scraping API, AI Parser, MCP Server). If you're searching either name you're looking at one provider. We mention it because the rename is a real source of search and review confusion, not to score a point.

Question 2

How much is Decodo's static ISP?

Accepted Answer

Decodo's static residential (ISP) starts around $0.27/IP as of July 2026, with dedicated, per-GB, and per-IP options depending on plan. That per-IP sticker undercuts our $2.50/IP. What you're weighing against the difference is US-only focus, unlimited bandwidth, and a sourcing chain we'll walk on request — decide whether those are worth the gap for your use.

Question 3

Subscription or pay-as-you-go on Decodo — which should I pick?

Accepted Answer

Decodo's residential runs about $3.75/GB on smaller subscriptions down to $2.00/GB at 1TB, with PAYG around $4.00/GB and no commitment. Subscriptions are cheaper per GB if you can predict volume; PAYG is safer if you can't. Our model sidesteps the question entirely — you buy IPs, not gigabytes, so there's nothing to forecast.

Question 4

Are old Smartproxy reviews still accurate for Decodo?

Accepted Answer

Partly. The network and team carried over, so pool-quality and speed impressions likely still hold. Anything about the dashboard, product lineup, or the new APIs predates the rebrand and may not. That gap is one reason people look for a provider with no brand history to untangle — which, for better or worse, is us.

Question 5

Is there a simpler flat-rate alternative to Decodo?

Accepted Answer

That's the pitch. Instead of choosing between subscription, PAYG, and static tiers across a growing catalog, you get one product: US static ISP IPs at $2.50/IP/month, unlimited bandwidth, auditable sourcing. If you need Decodo's rotating pool or scraping APIs, that simplicity isn't worth losing them — stay with Decodo.
