Mobile Proxy Benchmark 2026: 11 Providers Tested

We bought rotating mobile traffic from 11 providers and ran every test through the same scripts, servers and schedule: how many exit IPs are really mobile, success rate, latency, Google and Instagram access, sticky sessions, the device behind the IP, IP quality and cost.

We operate Floppydata and tested it on the same terms as everyone else, including where it came out behind.

Our methodology

How we tested

We bought rotating, pay-per-GB mobile traffic from each of 11 providers on regular terms and ran every test through the same scripts, servers and schedule, from 24 to 27 October 2026.

Servers. Three Hetzner cloud servers in the US, Germany and Singapore, on a fixed schedule (cron, UTC).
Countries. 12 exit countries: US, DE, GB, FR, ES, BR, IN, PL, UA, TR, VN, ID.
Providers. Floppydata, Decodo, Oxylabs, Evomi, SOAX, DataImpulse, ProxyEmpire, NodeMaven, IPRoyal, Byteful, ResiProx.

Tests

Infrastructure (Success Rate, Latency, Duplicate Rate, Geo Accuracy). 100 rotating requests per provider and country to a Cloudflare trace endpoint from each server, at 08:00 and 20:00 UTC.
Targets (Google, Instagram). Google search in 12 countries and the Instagram profile page in the US, Germany and the UK, as a phone browser without JavaScript, at 11:00 and 23:00 UTC.
Sticky sessions. 8 sessions per provider four times a day, each asking for a 30-minute sticky IP and checked every 30 seconds.
TCP fingerprint. p0f on our own endpoint reads the TCP handshake of the device behind the exit IP, twice a day.
IP quality. Scamalytics and IPinfo on 300 IPs per provider; IP2Location.io on 10,000 IPs and MaxMind on 1,000 IPs per provider for the Mobile IP Share.
Cost. Price per GB × traffic by each provider's own counter ÷ successful requests, per 1,000 requests.

Limitations and disclosure

Disclosure. We operate Floppydata, one of the 11 providers in this test. We tested it on the same terms as the others; its traffic came from a package bought earlier for our residential benchmark, and the cost uses its public price of $1.00/GB.

Results by metric

Cost per 1,000

Measured from each provider's own traffic counter, read in every dashboard the morning after the test: price per GB × traffic used ÷ successful requests of all tests. The load was the same for everyone (about 63,000 requests); counters showed 873–1,020 MB, Floppydata's 750 MB.

Key findings

What four days of measurements from three servers showed. Differences inside the confidence intervals are called ties.

Google

Floppydata had the highest Google Success Rate: 97.8% of searches got through without the CAPTCHA. Oxylabs (97.0%) was within the margin; the others had 91–97%.
Least shared IPs

Only 5.5% of Floppydata's exit IPs were also given out by another tested provider, the lowest share (IPRoyal 10%, the others 27–56%). Byteful and NodeMaven shared about a third of their pools, Decodo and Oxylabs about a quarter.
Price and cost

Floppydata had the lowest price per GB ($1.00) and the lowest cost per 1,000 successful requests ($0.012), then DataImpulse ($2.00 and $0.028).
IP databases disagree

IP2Location counts 91–99% of exit IPs as mobile at every provider. MaxMind agrees for most, but classes 83–85% of Decodo, Oxylabs and IPRoyal exits as fixed-line Cable/DSL. Both numbers are shown side by side.
Phone or computer

By the TCP fingerprint, 41–49% of Byteful, NodeMaven and SOAX connections came from Windows, not a phone; Floppydata 0.2%, IPRoyal 7%.
Sticky sessions

The largest difference between providers: Decodo and Oxylabs kept the IP 30 minutes in 78% of sessions, ProxyEmpire in 2%.
Fresh IPs

Floppydata repeated few exit IPs: a Duplicate Rate of 16.4% over 28,800 rotating requests, second only to IPRoyal (13.4%). The other nine providers had 19–49%, all clearly more than Floppydata.
Speed from Singapore

From our Singapore server Decodo, Oxylabs, Byteful, Floppydata and DataImpulse were within the margin of each other (median 0.92–1.01 s).
Clean mobile IPs

No provider had proxy, VPN or datacenter flags in Scamalytics; high-risk IPs were 0–3% everywhere.

Not tested and why

The same rule for every provider: rotating mobile traffic per GB that a regular buyer can purchase on their own, without an identity check, phone number or postal address.

Rayobyte

Mobile proxies only through sales, with a minimum plan of $250 for 83 GB per month; no self-serve purchase.
Infatica

Mandatory identity verification (ID document and smartphone) before buying.
Proxy-Cheap

Ordering requires a phone number and a full postal address.
Geonode

No mobile proxies in the dashboard or on the website at the time of the test.
Webshare

No mobile proxy product.
Proxidize, Proxy-Seller

Sell dedicated ports and modems billed by time, not rotating traffic per GB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which mobile proxy provider is the cheapest?

Floppydata: $1.00 per GB and $0.012 per 1,000 successful requests by its own traffic counter. DataImpulse was next ($2.00 per GB, $0.028), ProxyEmpire the most expensive ($9.00, $0.132).

Which mobile proxy works best with Google?

Floppydata had the highest Google Success Rate, 97.8% of searches without the CAPTCHA; Oxylabs (97.0%) was within the margin. The other providers had 91–97%.

Do providers share the same mobile IPs?

Partly. Only 5.5% of Floppydata's exit IPs were also given out by another tested provider; at the others it was 10–56%. Byteful and NodeMaven shared about a third of their pools, Decodo and Oxylabs about a quarter. A shared address can be carrier-grade NAT or the same device in two pools; the data cannot tell which.

Are mobile proxy IPs really mobile?

It depends on the IP database. IP2Location counts 91–99% of exit IPs as mobile at every provider. MaxMind agrees for most, but classes 83–85% of Decodo, Oxylabs and IPRoyal exits as fixed-line Cable/DSL. We show both and rank neither.

Do fraud checks flag mobile proxy IPs?

Rarely. Scamalytics flagged no mobile IP of any provider as a proxy, VPN or datacenter address, and only 0–3% of IPs were high risk.

Did you test your own provider fairly?

We operate Floppydata and tested it with the same scripts, servers, countries and schedule as every other provider, and we report its weak results too, such as sticky sessions. The raw data and scripts are public.
