Residential is arranged differently than the other four formats. In them, you buy specific addresses for a term, here — a volume of traffic and access to a pool from which addresses are selected according to your conditions. Below is a comparison with each format separately.

​

In both formats, the address belongs to the internet provider, and both look like a real user to the site. Everything else differs: ISP is one static address assigned to you, paid for by address and term. Residential is rotation from a pool paid for by gigabytes and covering 220 countries. ISP is taken when the address should not change, Residential when coverage and address change are needed.

​

IPv4 is a data center address: fast, constant, and inexpensive, but sites see its origin. Residential looks like home internet and is suitable where IPv4 does not pass. In return, you pay for traffic and do not get a permanent address.

​

IPv6 is the cheapest way to get many addresses, but they belong to a data center and only work with sites supporting this standard. Residential works with all resources and inspires more trust, but costs more and is consumed by traffic.

​

Both formats are dynamic and both have high trust. The difference is in the setup: in Mobile, you get a specific operator and region, pay for proxies, and manage address change yourself — by link or timer. In Residential, you pay for traffic, get coverage in 220 countries, and configure geo down to the city and operator.

​

Residential is needed when location coverage, site trust, and constant address change are important, and traffic volume is predictable. Need an unchanging address — ISP or IPv4. Need volume cheaper — IPv6. Need a specific mobile operator — Mobile.
