Use cases

Where dynamic residential proxies create practical leverage.

Compare common proxy workflows by business goal, routing behavior, session needs, and acceptable-use expectations.

Choose a workflow before choosing a proxy plan

Residential proxy requirements are different for a crawler, an SEO monitor, an ad-quality check, and a pricing research job. Start with the observation you need to make, then define the countries, request volume, session behavior, protocol, and success criteria. This keeps a proxy evaluation tied to a measurable workload instead of a headline pool-size claim.

Define the location

Record the country, language, device context, and any city or ASN requirement. Availability can vary by market and time.

Define the session

Use rotating routes for independent checks and short sticky sessions when several related requests need continuity.

Define the traffic

Estimate page requests, response size, retry allowance, concurrency, and monthly GB before comparing rates.
