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.

Byteful completed as few as 74.4% of requests in Germany during our run. At that rate roughly one request in four needs retrying, which inflates both crawl time and the bandwidth you are billed for.
Yes, at every tier we could compare. Byteful publishes $3.25/GB as its standard rate falling to $1.75 at volume. Shifter starts at $2.00 and reaches $0.75.
Usually yes. Both services use standard user and password authentication over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, so in most cases you change the endpoint and credentials and keep the rest of your code.
