Why Shifter

Why use Shifter residential proxies?

Up to 50% Cheaper at Mid and Enterprise Volumes

NetNut Production (150 GB) is $3.32/GB and Master (2 TB) is $1.87/GB. Shifter is $2.20/GB at ~150 GB and $1/GB at scale, a 35–47% saving where serious operators consume their volume. Entry tiers are competitive on both.

No Multi-Month Commitment Required

NetNut's competitive rates require 3, 6, or 12-month commitments via sales. Shifter's full pricing curve, down to $1/GB at scale, runs on standard month-to-month subscriptions with no annual lock-in.

No Long-Term Commitment Required

NetNut's competitive rates are gated behind 3, 6, or 12-month commitments via sales. Shifter's $1/GB enterprise rate runs on month-to-month billing, no annual lock-in to unlock the price.

Self-Serve Signup, No Sales Call

NetNut runs a sales-led onboarding flow that can take days for enterprise rates. Shifter activates accounts within minutes through self-serve signup, you can be running real traffic before lunch.

Same Network Quality at a Fraction of the Cost

Both NetNut and Shifter operate large residential and ISP proxy networks across 195+ countries with city-level targeting and sticky sessions. The difference is price discipline, Shifter ships the same network capability at 70 to 80% lower per-GB rates.

Unified Residential and ISP Proxy Plans

NetNut splits residential and ISP into separate billing structures with different per-GB economics. Shifter unifies access through a single account so you can mix residential and ISP traffic without juggling plans.
