Overview
Every row is a measured result from our benchmark. The better value in each row is highlighted. Where our 95% confidence intervals don't separate the two results, we don't call a winner and leave the row unmarked.
| Metric | Floppydata | Decodo |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per 1,000 successful requests Money spent on traffic divided by successful requests lower is better | $0.019 | $0.077 |
| Price per GB (as paid) What we paid per GB for the package we bought lower is better | $1.00/GB 50 GB, 30 days | $3.75/GB 3 GB |
| Proxy Detection Rate Share of 300 sampled IPs that Scamalytics flags as a proxy lower is better | 60.7% 95% CI 55.0–66.0 | 85.0% 95% CI 80.5–88.6 |
| Fraud Score (avg, 0–100) Scamalytics risk score, averaged over 300 sampled IPs lower is better | 3.0 | 3.0 |
| Residential / ISP IPs (by ASN) Not flagged as datacenter and not on a hosting network (ASN check) higher is better | 99.0% 95% CI 97.1–99.7 | 99.3% 95% CI 97.6–99.8 |
| Geo Accuracy Exit IP was in the country we requested (Cloudflare database) higher is better | 99.8% 95% CI 99.7–99.8 | 99.8% 95% CI 99.8–99.9 |
| Latency, median Full request time on successful requests: connect, tunnel, TLS, response lower is better | 0.93 s | 0.79 s |
| Latency, P90 9 in 10 successful requests were at least this fast lower is better | 1.76 s | 1.41 s |
| Amazon success rate A real search page came back, not a CAPTCHA or challenge (no browser, no JavaScript) higher is better | 49.4% 95% CI 47.2–51.7 | 54.4% 95% CI 52.1–56.6 |
| Wikipedia success rate Control target without anti-bot protection higher is better | 98.6% 95% CI 98.2–98.8 | 99.9% 95% CI 99.7–99.9 |
| Success Rate Rotating requests that got a valid answer, 25,200 per provider higher is better | 98.0% 95% CI 97.8–98.2 | 99.9% 95% CI 99.9–100.0 |
| Duplicate Rate Successful requests that reused an IP already seen lower is better | 11.7% | 2.2% |
| Sticky Session Stability 30-minute sessions that kept one IP and answered at least 90% of checks. Floppydata: only sessions in the format from its official documentation (264; 312 for the others) higher is better | 47.3% 95% CI 41.4–53.4 | 82.7% 95% CI 78.1–86.5 |
How we tested. We bought a residential package from each of 12 providers and ran the same scripts from three servers (USA, Germany, Singapore) on 5–8 October 2026: 25,200 rotating requests per provider, plus Amazon and Wikipedia, sticky-session and IP-quality tests. Prices are as paid for each package.
