Thirty-second decision guide
Choose Residential when
The response depends on geography, or the target scores IP reputation. Country and optional state and city targeting, rotating or sticky, $0.49/GB to start.
Residential proxiesChoose Residential TLS when
A clean residential IP still gets challenged. The handshake — ClientHello, cipher order, HTTP/2 SETTINGS — is matched to one of 127 captured browser builds. $0.74/GB to start.
Residential TLS proxiesChoose Residential Premium when
The exit address itself is what gets scored. A separate premium pool with its own gateway ports, and ASN targeting on top of country. $1.69/GB to start.
Residential Premium proxiesChoose Residential Premium TLS when
The target checks the exit and the handshake. The separate premium pool, carrying a pinned browser profile from 127 captured builds. $2.54/GB to start.

Recommended product by workload
| WORKLOAD | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|
| Large-scale public web scraping | Residential TLS | Handshake consistency is usually the difference between a 200 and a challenge page. |
| SERP and rank checking | Residential | Country, state and city targeting matter more than the handshake; volume per page is small. |
| Ad verification | Residential | Creatives are selected by geography and IP class; sticky sessions keep a placement observable. |
| Price and availability monitoring | Residential | Regional pricing needs credible local exits; per-GB billing suits small JSON responses. |
| Market and catalogue research | Residential | Reproducible geography beats raw throughput for research work. |
| AI retrieval and enrichment pipelines | Residential TLS | Long-running jobs fail expensively; handshake control reduces retry churn. |
| Internal load and latency testing | Residential | The lowest per-GB rate on the standard pool, which is what high-volume internal runs are priced on. |

Comparison FAQ
01Is Residential TLS always better than Residential?
No. It costs more per gigabyte and only helps when the target inspects the TLS handshake. If standard residential already succeeds on your targets, the extra spend buys nothing.
02When is Residential Premium the wrong choice?
When the standard pool already answers. Premium costs several times the standard per-GB rate, and it only pays for itself on targets that score IP reputation hard enough to refuse ordinary residential exits.
03Can I switch products without changing my code?
Yes. The gateway host, authentication and the password-parameter syntax are identical across all four products; you change the product on your balance, not your code.
04What happens if I send -profile- on a standard residential plan?
It is ignored silently. Only Residential TLS plans act on the profile parameter.
05Which product is cheapest for a large crawl?
Standard Residential at the largest package — $0.49 / GB at 1 TB. On a strict target the Premium pool often costs less overall, because you spend less on retries.
Still deciding?
Buy one gigabyte of residential, run it against your own targets, and let the response codes pick the product.
