Four types are catalogued for the United States and exactly one can be ordered today. Read this page to pick; read the type's own page to buy.

One type orderable · Three catalogued · Never billed per gigabyte


## Pick by the job, not by the price

### One identity, held for months

Points at ISP. A profile that must look like the same person needs an address that does not move, and rotation is what breaks it.

### A hundred thousand pages, once

Points at rotating residential — breadth, not persistence. Catalogued for the United States, not orderable, and a static address bought for this is money spent on the wrong shape.

### An app that trusts phone networks

Points at mobile. Carrier-grade NAT puts thousands of real subscribers behind one address, which is why some targets treat it differently. Catalogued for the United States, not on sale.

### Bulk fetching where nobody checks the ASN

Points at datacenter — cheapest per request, and instantly recognisable as a server when the target looks. Catalogued for the United States, not on sale.

### Still unsure after all four

Then the question is whether the target inspects who owns the address. If it does, ISP is the only one of the four on sale that answers well.


## The four types, side by side

- **Orderable in United States today:** ISP only. Rotating residential, mobile and datacenter are catalogued.
- **What ISP is:** One address registered to a named consumer carrier, on server hardware
- **What rotating residential is:** A pool borrowed from real devices, a different address each request
- **What mobile is:** A carrier 4G/5G address, shared behind carrier-grade NAT
- **What datacenter is:** A hosting address — fastest, cheapest, and obvious to anyone who looks
- **How ISP is billed:** Per address per period. No gigabyte meter and no overage line.
- **How the other three are billed:** Per gigabyte, as a rule — the pool is what is rented, not the address
- **The limit you will actually meet:** Concurrency, not volume: 100 sessions per proxy, 10 past 50 GB a month
- **Protocols, all four:** HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
- **Choosing the network:** United States names 22 carriers — more than any other country here

## What choosing United States decides

### The answer a site gives depends on where it thinks you are

Prices, search results, ad delivery, what is licensed to stream and which consent banner appears are all decided by the exit country. A US exit is how you see what a reader in United States sees, and it is the whole reason to pick a country before picking a type.

### Country is a control here. State and city are not

United States is the largest entry in our catalogue and reaches 30+ cities, but you cannot ask for one of them. Anyone promising a city or a ZIP code is selling something this catalogue does not contain, and it is worth knowing before you design around it.

### Availability is per country, not global

One of the four types is orderable in United States. The other three are drawn on this page because they exist in the catalogue for it — a different country can have a different subset, so a type that ships elsewhere is no promise about here.


## Frequently asked questions

### Which of the four can I actually order today?

ISP — static addresses on carriers named before you pay, priced per address per month. The other three appear in the catalogue for the United States and are marked coming soon until each can be ordered.

### What does "catalogued but not orderable" mean?

That the type exists in our upstream catalogue for the United States and has no buy button here yet. We list it so the comparison is complete, and we do not price it, because quoting a price for something you cannot buy is an advertisement rather than an offer.

### I want a fixed address. Which type is that?

ISP, and on this site it also answers to the name static residential — one product, two names the market uses. Rotating residential is the opposite by design: the address changes, and that is the feature.

### Does the type change how I connect?

No. One gateway, one header for the country, the same credentials. Changing type later changes what you bought, not the code — the setup block below is the same for all four.

### Is a US proxy legal to use?

Yes for legitimate use — research, scraping public data, ad verification, checking your own placements. A short list of targets has to be verified before access is opened, and the acceptable use policy is the authoritative version of that list.

### Can I choose a US state or city?

No. What you choose is the country and, on ISP, the carrier. The catalogue reaches 30+ cities in United States and the strip below shows where, but neither is a targeting control.

### Why compare here instead of on the type pages?

Because a type page argues for its own type. This page is the one place the four are set against each other, including the jobs the type on sale is wrong for.
