Residential proxies send your requests through IP addresses that consumer ISPs assign to homes. Use this list to compare providers by location, session type, and billing.
A residential proxy uses an address that belongs to a consumer internet provider. Sites that classify traffic often treat that address as a household connection rather than a server.
That difference matters for web scraping and for account work. Datacenter ranges are quicker to buy and easier to block. Compare datacenter proxies if your target does not score IP reputation.

Decide session behavior before you compare brands. A rotating session hands you a new IP on a timer or on each request. A sticky session keeps the same IP for a window so a login, a cart, or a multi-step form can finish on one address.
Match billing to how you send traffic. Metered plans charge for data and fit bursty crawls. Port or slot pricing charges for a live endpoint and fits long-running browsers. If you cannot estimate volume, start with a small metered allotment and measure.
Check how deep geo targeting goes. Country is the baseline. City, state, or ASN targeting helps when a site localizes by more than a country code. Ask whether the filter is a real routing choice or only a label on a mixed pool.
Ask how the pool is sourced. A residential product should state that peers consent to share capacity, or that the provider has an ISP partnership. If that story is missing, treat the product as incomplete and keep looking.
