Proxym vs Smartproxy Escape Pay-per-GB Billing
Smartproxy is a major player in residential proxies, but their billing model penalizes you for downloading images or videos. Proxym leases you a physical 5G router with 200 GB of fair use monthly.

The Anxiety of Gigabyte Billing
When every 403 error, retry, and downloaded image costs you money, you cannot scrape with peace of mind. End monthly bill surprises.
The Smartproxy Model
- Pay-as-you-go billing: Costs rise quickly ($7 to $12 per GB).
- Residential IPs originate from private WiFi networks (unstable latency).
- Traffic from competing bots can affect your pool's IPs.
- Impossible to accurately forecast the budget of a scraping project.
The Proxym Infrastructure
- Fixed Rate Billing: €80 per month, per router. Zero billing surprises at the end of the month.
- 200 GB Fair Use included. More than enough for the vast majority of scraping tasks.
- Dedicated Telecom Hardware: Fast and stable throughput (Datacenter to 5G).
- Budget 100% predictable and under control for you or your clients.
Frequently Asked Questions: Proxym vs Smartproxy
Does Proxym offer automatic rotating IPs like Smartproxy?
Smartproxy offers rotation on every request (Backconnect IP). With Proxym, the IP remains static until you request its rotation (via API). This is much safer for long sessions (Instagram accounts, e-commerce management).
Smartproxy covers more countries. What about Proxym?
That is correct. Smartproxy utilizes millions of PCs worldwide. Proxym manages its own physical hardware infrastructure located in France. If you absolutely need an IP in Japan, Smartproxy is suitable. If you target France, Europe, or standard global websites (Google, Amazon), Proxym's French IP is more than sufficient.
What happens beyond 200 GB at Proxym?
Unlike providers who automatically charge you for overages, Proxym simply reduces your router's speed (operator cap) until the next month. No surprise bills for thousands of euros.
