The choice between rotating and dedicated is really a choice about who controls the IP and when it changes. A rotating (Shared) proxy is a budget port where the IP cycles every 5 minutes automatically and the line is pooled across users — ideal when you want a stream of fresh addresses and don't need to hold one steady. A dedicated proxy is an exclusive port on a real mobile device: the carrier IP is yours alone, it never changes unless you say so, and you can force a fresh IP instantly via the dashboard or a reset link, or schedule auto-rotation anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes. Across both plans you get the same genuine 4G/LTE/5G carrier IPs behind CGNAT, HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 support, and 18 countries across 43 carriers.
Rotating (Shared) vs Dedicated proxy: the differences
| Rotating (Shared) | Dedicated | |
|---|---|---|
| IP rotation | Automatic every 5 minutes | On demand (instant) or auto every 1–60 min, your choice |
| Sticky sessions | ~5-minute windows between rotations | Yes — hold one IP indefinitely until you rotate |
| Port exclusivity | Shared across users | Exclusive — the port and device IP are yours alone |
| Rotation control | None (fixed 5-min cycle) | Full — dashboard, reset link, or scheduled timer |
| Speed / contention | Bandwidth shared on the line | No neighbours — full device throughput |
| Trust score | 100% real carrier IP | 100% real carrier IP |
| Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 | HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 |
| Price from | $10.80/mo | $27/mo |
| Best for | Scraping, SERP checks, high-volume rotation | Account warm-up, multi-accounting, AI agents, sneaker/checkout |
Both plans: real mobile devices with physical SIMs, no-KYC, crypto payment, credentials emailed within minutes.
What does "rotating" actually mean here?
On the Shared plan the IP rotates on a fixed 5-minute cycle you don't control — and because the port is pooled, your traffic shares the carrier line with other users. That's a feature, not a flaw, when your workload wants churn: every few minutes you present a fresh, real mobile IP from the same carrier, which keeps per-IP request counts low and footprints clean. The trade-offs are that you can't pin a single IP for a long session, and throughput is shared. It's the cheapest way onto real carrier infrastructure at $10.80/mo, and it behaves like classic rotating mobile proxies without the datacenter tells.
For the mechanics of why a carrier IP looks so clean — one public address fronting thousands of real subscribers — see how mobile proxies work and RFC 6598 on shared address space.
What makes a dedicated proxy different?
A dedicated mobile proxy is an exclusive port bound to one real device: no neighbours sharing the line, no surprise rotation. The IP stays put until you act, so you get true sticky sessions for as long as you need — useful for logging into an account, completing a multi-step checkout, or keeping one persona on one IP for days. When you do want a change, rotation is instant: hit the dashboard button or load your reset link and the device pulls a fresh carrier IP. Prefer hands-off? Set an auto-rotate timer anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes. Pricing starts at $27/mo and scales with country, carrier and duration up to premium long-term configs around $1,102 — see full pricing for the per-country breakdown.
When should you pick rotating (Shared)?
Choose Shared when your job is volume and variety rather than identity continuity:
- Web scraping & data collection — high request counts spread across constantly-changing IPs.
- SERP & rank tracking — independent, stateless queries where a fresh IP each cycle is an asset.
- Ad verification — sampling how creatives render from different mobile vantage points.
- Budget testing — proving out a workflow on real carrier IPs before committing to dedicated.
If you don't need to hold one IP across a login or a cart, and you'd rather pay $10.80/mo than $27, Shared is the rational pick.
When should you pick dedicated?
Choose Dedicated whenever a session must stay on a single, stable, exclusive IP — and when you want rotation timing under your own control:
- Social media multi-accounting — one persona, one steady IP, paired with an antidetect browser.
- Account creation & warm-up — sign-ups that punish mid-session IP changes.
- AI agents & automation — deterministic, exclusive egress an agent can rely on.
- Sneaker / checkout bots — sticky sessions through cart and payment, with instant rotation between drops.
Exclusivity also means no bandwidth contention and no risk of a neighbour's behaviour affecting your IP's reputation.
The same infrastructure under both plans
What you get on either plan
- Real 4G/LTE/5G IPs on physical SIMs and real carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon; Three, EE; Free Mobile, SFR, Orange; Jio 5G and more)
- HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 — authenticate by username/password or IP whitelist
- No-KYC: no government ID, name, phone or email verification; account auto-created on first order
- Crypto payment only — BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT (plus balance top-up); credentials emailed within minutes
- We do not log destination traffic

Yes. Dedicated means the port and IP are exclusively yours, not that the IP is frozen. You rotate whenever you want — instantly via the dashboard or a reset link — or you set an automatic timer anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes. The difference from Shared is control: rotation happens on your schedule, not a fixed 5-minute cycle, and the line is never shared with other users.
Only within each ~5-minute window between automatic rotations. The Shared plan rotates the IP every 5 minutes on a fixed cycle you can't pause, so it isn't suited to long logins or multi-step checkouts that must hold one IP. For genuine sticky sessions that last hours or days, choose the Dedicated plan, where the IP stays put until you choose to rotate it.
Yes. Both plans run on real mobile devices with physical SIM cards on real carriers, so every IP is a genuine carrier address behind CGNAT with a 100% trust score — no datacenter or emulated ranges on either. The differences are exclusivity, rotation control and bandwidth contention, not the legitimacy of the IP itself.
Rotating (Shared) is cheaper, starting at $10.80/mo versus $27/mo for Dedicated, because the port is pooled across users. Both scale with country, carrier and duration (1, 3, 6 or 12 months — longer terms lower the effective rate). See the pricing page for the full per-country breakdown, or build each plan in the configurator to compare exact prices side by side.
Each plan is ordered as its own configuration, so you can start on Shared to validate a workflow and add a Dedicated port when you need exclusivity and sticky sessions. Both are no-KYC and paid in crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT or wallet balance), with credentials emailed within minutes of payment, so spinning up a second plan is fast.
