What is the difference between unlimited proxies and dynamic residential proxies?
Both unlimited proxies and dynamic residential proxies are types of residential proxies, but they differ in several key ways:
Unlimited residential proxies
- Default to random proxy locations;
- Offer unlimited bandwidth and no limit on the number of IPs;
- Are ideal for tasks that need a large volume of proxies but are less sensitive to absolute stability, such as:
- Large-scale web scraping,
- General data collection.
Dynamic residential proxies
- Support precise targeting down to cities (and regions within a country);
- Offer multiple billing models such as pay-per-GB or pay-per-IP usage;
- Are more suitable for tasks that require stable and highly anonymous connections, such as:
- Account management,
- Advertising verification,
- Localized testing and login scenarios.
