Quick pick
Decodo fits if ISO 27001:2022 certification, EWDCI credentials, ZIP or coordinate targeting on residential, a money-back policy, or 24-hour sticky sessions are requirements.
IPRoyal fits if named and independently verifiable consenting-user sourcing via Pawns.app, low per-GB residential pricing, mobile proxies, or 24/7 live chat are the priorities.
Decodo and IPRoyal both keep sourcing transparency visible -- but through different mechanisms. Decodo documents independently audited credentials: ISO 27001:2022, EWDCI co-founder status, and a 14-day money-back policy. IPRoyal documents sourcing through Pawns.app -- a named consumer product where real users explicitly consent and earn per bandwidth shared -- alongside low per-GB pricing, mobile proxies, and 24/7 live chat.
