Warum Shifter Residential-Proxys verwenden?
More Live IPs in Every Country We Tested
Our benchmark counted the IPs each network actually had online. Shifter served 16.5% more in the United States, 50.3% more in the United Kingdom and 65.5% more in France. The full method and per country tables are published at /benchmark/byteful.
A Far Higher Share of Requests Completed
Byteful returned the weakest reliability of any provider in our test, completing between 74.4% and 92% of requests depending on country. Every failed request is a retry your crawler has to pay for twice.
Wider Network Spread
Shifter drew its addresses from noticeably more autonomous systems in all five markets. Anti-bot systems fingerprint the network an address sits on, so spread across ASNs protects a crawl more than raw address count.
Cheaper at Both Ends of the Ladder
Byteful starts at $3.25/GB and bottoms out at $1.75. Shifter starts at $2.00 and falls to $0.75, so you pay less whether you are testing with five gigabytes or running a few hundred a month.
Published, Repeatable Numbers
We publish the method, the sample sizes and the per country results so you can run the same test yourself. Most providers, Byteful included, publish only a headline pool figure.
