Why Shifter

Why use Shifter residential proxies?

Lower Published Rates

Proxy-Seller starts at $3.50 per GB and its volume plans start at $1.45. Shifter starts at $2.00 and falls to $0.75 from 200 GB. At enterprise volume both providers quote custom rates, so compare quotes there.

A Far Larger Residential Pool

Proxy-Seller publishes 47M+ residential IPs. Shifter runs 205M+, about four times as many, which is the difference between rotating freely and revisiting addresses on a large crawl.

One Product, Properly Built

Proxy-Seller runs a wide catalog covering IPv4, IPv6, mobile, ISP and residential. Shifter concentrates on residential and ISP proxies, with a dashboard and support team built around those workloads rather than a storefront.

FAQ

Proxy-Seller Alternative FAQ

Common questions about switching from Proxy-Seller to Shifter.

On published plans, about 43% at entry ($2.00 against $3.50 per GB) and 48% on volume plans ($0.75 against $1.45). At enterprise volume Proxy-Seller quotes from $0.30 per GB, so compare custom quotes there.

It depends on where you work. Proxy-Seller advertises 220+ locations against Shifter's 195+ countries, but location counts include sub-country entries. What usually matters more is how many IPs are live in the specific country you target.

If you need IPv4, IPv6 and mobile from one vendor, Proxy-Seller's catalog is broader. If residential and ISP proxies are the workload, Shifter is cheaper on published plans and has a larger pool.

Yes. The five-country measurement of both networks, with the request volumes and method behind it, is published at /benchmark/proxy-seller.
