And it\u2019s easy to understand why: they provide top-notch residential proxies from more than 195 locations worldwide, including state and city-level targeting.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, they offer one of the best prices in the market and their plans are based on traffic usage. So it\u2019s not surprising that Smartproxy sees itself as <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/residential-proxies\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the best residential proxy network<\/a> in the market.

Here are the main pros of Smartproxy.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"they-are-cheaper-than-many-of-their-competitors\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_are_Cheaper_Than_Many_of_Their_Competitors\"><\/span>They are Cheaper Than Many of Their Competitors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the selling points of Smartproxy residential IP addresses is their <a href=\"#they-are-cheaper-than-many-of-their-competitors\">pricing plan<\/a>. While they are seen as relatively expensive because of other proxies\u2019 prices, if you compare their pricing with their equals (other premium service providers), you will see that they\u2019re actually really cheap. Interestingly, the price goes down as you buy more bandwidth. For example, 1 GB costs $8.5 in their basic plan, but in their Enterprise plans, the price goes down to $4.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smartproxy.pxf.io\/proxies\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23707 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price.jpg.webp 773w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-300x257.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-768x658.jpg.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20773%20662'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20773%20662'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Smartproxy Residential Price\" width=\"773\" height=\"662\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price.jpg 773w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-768x658.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23707\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price.jpg.webp 773w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-300x257.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-768x658.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price.jpg\" alt=\"Smartproxy Residential Price\" width=\"773\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price.jpg 773w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-Residential-Price-768x658.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unlike Bright Data, GeoSurf, or Oxylabs, Smartproxy\u2019s plans are quite flexible. They also cater to smaller proxy use cases and offer plans that have just 2\/8\/25 GBs with an entry point of $14\/month. For instance, Oxylabs\u2019 smallest plan costs $600 and comes with 50 GB of bandwidth that you might not need.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"enough-residential-ips-and-location\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enough_Residential_IPs_and_Location\"><\/span>Enough Residential IPs and Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Smartproxy has a good number of <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/residential-proxy-guide\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">residential IPs<\/a> in its pool. Currently, it has over 55 million real IP addresses spread across more than 195 locations in the world. Since these are residential IP addresses, they hardly get blocked. If they are abused to the extent of getting blocked, such IP is taken out of the pool, so you don\u2019t get to use one that will put you at risk. Additionally, they have a pool of 10+ million Mobile IPs if you\u2019re in need of those.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smartproxy.pxf.io\/proxies\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><picture class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20526 size-full perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations.png.webp 1041w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-300x105.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-1024x359.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-768x269.png.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201041%20365'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201041%20365'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Smartproxy top locations\" width=\"1041\" height=\"365\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations.png 1041w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-1024x359.png 1024w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-768x269.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20526 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations.png.webp 1041w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-300x105.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-1024x359.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-768x269.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations.png\" alt=\"Smartproxy top locations\" width=\"1041\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations.png 1041w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-1024x359.png 1024w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Smartproxy-top-locations-768x269.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Smartproxy has proxies in many countries, and they also support any city, including New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, London, Moscow, Berlin, and Miami.
