rebranded as Decodo
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.
ProxyOmega
Positioned for high-volume operators who want unlimited bandwidth at a fixed monthly cost.
Smartproxy
Positioned for self-serve users who want a polished UI and per-GB transparency on smaller workloads.
Example workload: 100 GB of residential traffic in a single month.
ProxyOmega
Port-based unlimited bandwidth from $51.99/month
$51.99 flat regardless of volume on the entry Budget Unlimited tier
Smartproxy
Per-GB residential metering, entry around $3.50/GB
~$350 for 100 GB at the advertised residential rate
Smartproxy’s larger monthly plans bring the effective per-GB rate down materially. Pricing accurate as of June 2026; check vendor sites for current rates.

| Pricing model | Port-based, unlimited bandwidth | Per-GB metered residential |
| Pool size (vendor claim) | Large rotating pool, 70+ (Budget), 150+ (Premium) | Advertised at 55M+ IPs |
| Targeting granularity | Country on Budget; country, state, city, ASN on Platinum | Country, state, city |
| Minimum spend / trial | Entry tier $51.99/month, no commit | 3-day money-back trial; entry plans from low monthly minimum |
| Payment methods | Cards, crypto, wire | Cards, PayPal, crypto |
| Support response time | 24/7 live chat | 24/7 live chat |
| Best-for use case | Heavy continuous scraping at a flat rate | Smaller, predictable per-GB workloads with polished tooling |
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.
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 70+ countries, while Platinum adds state, city and ASN granularity. The Premium Unlimited tier reaches 150+ countries with higher per-port speeds. Both providers support rotating and sticky session modes.
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.
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.
Yes. Smartproxy rebranded as Decodo. Older articles and integrations may reference either name interchangeably.
Roughly past 15 GB per month at Smartproxy’s entry rate, ProxyOmega’s $51.99/month Budget Unlimited tier is the cheaper option, with the gap widening as volume grows.
Yes. Both support both modes via standard credentials.
Smartproxy’s dashboard is more polished; ProxyOmega’s is more minimal. Both are self-serve.
Yes, both providers accept crypto as a payment method.
Flat unlimited bandwidth, instant activation, 24/7 support.
