The Best 4G Mobile Proxy Providers of 2023 – Proxyway

We picked out reliable provides, with a proven track record and market experience. They were ranked based on their offered use cases ( social media, web scraping ), mobile proxy features, and performance. We also took pricing into account to make this list better rounded. So, in one way or the other, these providers are all good choices for mobile proxies.

The mobile proxy market is still relatively new, and not many providers specialize in mobile proxies. From the companies that do, some are more well rounded and better than others – and deserve their place in the ‘best of’ list.

1. Oxylabs

The best premium option for business.

Oxylabs launched a mobile proxy service recently, but it’s already a powerhouse. No other provider can offer you 20 million monthly IPs from real devices (not SIM card farms). They cover all locations, let you target a particular ASN, and have several rotation settings that work both for web scraping and extended sessions. You also get 24/7 personalized support to help you along the way.

Being new, the mobile proxies still have some rough edges: they share documentation with Oxylabs’ residential IPs (which can be confusing) and offer no city-level targeting. But it’s still a great service. And, with a much lower price tag than Bright Data, businesses will be hard pressed to find something better.

Features:

• Proxy pool: 20 million 3G & 4G mobile proxies
• Protocols: HTTP(S)
• Locations: Every country with carrier targeting
• Rotation: Every request, sticky sessions up to 30 mins
• Connections: Unlimited

Pricing:

The pricing plans start from $250 for 10 GB ($25/GB). 7-day free trial for businesses, 3-day refund available.

2. Bright Data

The most complete provider.

Bright Data has a huge network of 3G and 4G proxies from real users around the world. They are rich in features and highly customizable if you have the technical skills. You can choose a particular mobile carrier, modify the rotation settings however you like, and use an unlimited number of IPs at once. Bright Data offers an API for programmers and a browser extension. All in all, it’s a highly versatile and powerful service.

That said, using Bright Data makes sense if you have cash to spare. The service is pretty expensive, and the pricing plans start from $500. There is an option to pay as you go, but who in their right mind would shell out $40 per gigabyte?

Features:

• Proxy pool: 7 million 3G & 4G mobile proxies
• Protocols: HTTP(S), SOCKS5
• Locations: Every country, thousands of cities with carrier targeting
• Rotation: Every request, as long as available. Further customizable with Proxy Manager
• Connections: Unlimited

Pricing:

The pricing plans start from $500 at $30/GB.  7-day free trial for businesses, 3-day refund available.

3. SOAX

Highly flexible proxy filtering options.

SOAX is like Bright Data lite: half the proxies, fewer (but still many) locations, fewer proxy management tools. However, it has just as flexible IP filtering options, which are easier to use via the dashboard. While not very fast, the proxy network is stable, and the customer service is one of the better we’ve seen. SOAX also costs less than Bright Data – its plans start from $75.

The downsides are that you have to whitelist an IP address, and that SOAX limits the number of proxies you can access at once. Still, 300 ports are quite a bit, and the larger plans grant even more.

Features:

• Proxy pool: 3.5 million 3G & 4G mobile proxies
• Protocols: HTTP(S) over SOCKS5
• Locations: 100+ countries with city & carrier targeting
• Rotation: 90-360 seconds or as long as available
• Connections: 300-600 ports

Pricing:

Starts from $99 for 3 GB ($33/GB) and 300 ports. Paid trial available.

4. Rayobyte

Affordable US mobile proxies for web scraping.

Rayobyte is very new to mobile proxies, so beware – here be dragons. But if you’re brave enough, you’ll get access to a pool of mobile IPs in the US. They rotate often, so these proxies are best suited for web scraping. The pricing is pretty good for what you get (and much cheaper compared to something like Bright Data). You also get an optional tool that helps you with scraping tough websites.

So, if you’re okay with all the restrictions, and want to try out mobile IPs for your web scraping project, Rayobyte might be a good choice.

Features:

• Pool size: Unknown
• Protocols: HTTP(S)
• Locations: Mainly the US
• Rotation: Every request
• Connections: Unlimited

Pricing:

Starts from $50 for 2GB ($25/GB).
