ProxyOmega vs Smartproxy (Decodo): 2026 Comparison
Smartproxy (recently rebranded as Decodo) sits in the mid-market between budget tiers and the enterprise giants. ProxyOmega competes in the same general bracket but with a different pricing shape: flat unlimited bandwidth instead of per-GB metering. This page compares them on the public facts so you can pick the model that fits your traffic curve.
Smartproxy fits teams that prefer per-GB metering, want polished dashboards and pre-built integrations, and do not need unlimited bandwidth. ProxyOmega fits teams whose monthly traffic varies and who want a flat, predictable bill.

Match the product to your workload.
Pick ProxyOmega if
- Your traffic varies month to month and you want the bill to stay the same.
- You scrape continuously and would burn through tens or hundreds of GB.
- You want a single proxy network to handle multi-account, scraping and ad verification together.
- You want crypto or wire payment as a first-class option.
Pick Smartproxy if
- You run smaller, predictable workloads where per-GB is genuinely cheaper.
- You value the Smartproxy/Decodo dashboard and integration library.
- You want a polished UI for non-technical team members.
- You only need country and city targeting and do not require ASN.
Per-GB vs flat: where the break-even is
At Smartproxy’s entry rate of around $3.50/GB, ProxyOmega’s $51.99/month Budget Unlimited tier becomes the cheaper option once your monthly traffic crosses roughly 15 GB. Below that, Smartproxy is the cheaper line item. Above it, the gap widens fast.
The harder factor to model is variance. A scraper that runs 8 GB one month and 80 GB the next will pay Smartproxy a wildly different bill each month and a flat ProxyOmega bill regardless. Most operators prefer the second shape once they have lived with the first.
Pool, targeting and rotation
Smartproxy publishes a 55M+ residential IP pool with country and city targeting. That is enough depth for the vast majority of scraping and account-management workloads.
ProxyOmega’s Budget Unlimited offers country selection across 200+ countries, while Platinum adds state, city and ASN granularity. The Premium Unlimited tier reaches 200+ countries with higher per-port speeds. Both providers support rotating and sticky session modes.
Tooling and dashboard
Smartproxy has invested heavily in dashboard polish, browser extensions and integration guides. For a team that wants a slick UI for non-technical operators, that is a real advantage.
ProxyOmega’s dashboard is functional and self-serve, with the focus on getting credentials and ports into your client quickly. The trade-off is intentional: less UI surface, faster path to running.
Support and onboarding
Both providers offer 24/7 live chat. Both have ticketing and email channels. The deciding factor is not the channel; it is the answer quality, which depends on the specific incident.
Onboarding is similarly self-serve on both sides. Smartproxy gates some features behind a 3-day money-back window; ProxyOmega has no minimum spend beyond the entry tier price.
