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.
MarsProxies fits if speed-sensitive datacenter proxies, a pricing model aimed at cost-sensitive workloads, mobile proxies, or 24/7 live chat are the priorities.
Decodo and MarsProxies serve different priorities. Decodo is built around independently audited credentials: ISO 27001:2022, EWDCI co-founder status, ZIP and coordinate targeting on residential, and a 14-day money-back policy. MarsProxies is built around datacenter proxies positioned for speed-sensitive use cases and a mobile pool, with a pricing model aimed at cost-sensitive workloads and 24/7 live chat.
If you choose Decodo
What you get that MarsProxies doesn't offer
ISO 27001:2022 and EWDCI credentials are the pieces to weigh if you need to show a client or auditor that residential IPs are sourced under a documented standard -- MarsProxies doesn't publish that certification, so for a contract that requires it, this is the deciding fact, not a nice-to-have. ZIP and coordinate targeting on residential goes a level deeper than MarsProxies' city-level targeting -- relevant specifically for jobs that need to isolate a precise neighborhood or radius, not just a city. The 3-day trial, 14-day money-back policy, and IP whitelist authentication round out a stack aimed at teams that want to test and verify before committing, with sticky sessions up to 24 hours for longer-running sessions.
What you give up
MarsProxies' datacenter proxies with no IP sharing between customers exist for speed-sensitive jobs where residential-grade targeting precision isn't the point -- raw throughput is. On mobile specifically, both providers have a product: Decodo publishes a 10M+ IP pool across 160+ locations, while MarsProxies advertises dedicated mobile proxies across 190+ locations but does not publish a comparable pool-size figure. MarsProxies' cost-sensitive pricing and 24/7 live chat also matter more for a budget-constrained operator than for a team that's already paying for compliance depth.
If you choose MarsProxies
What you get that Decodo doesn't offer
Datacenter proxies with no IP sharing between customers are the actual reason to pick MarsProxies over a residential-focused, compliance-heavy vendor like Decodo -- when the job is speed-sensitive rather than targeting-precise, dedicated datacenter proxies are generally better suited to throughput-focused workloads than residential proxies. Cost-sensitive pricing and 24/7 live chat make this the more practical pick for a budget-constrained team that doesn't need audited compliance paperwork; MarsProxies also sells mobile proxies, though its published documentation on that product is thinner than Decodo's.
What you give up
What's missing is the audited compliance layer: no ISO 27001:2022, no EWDCI credentials, and residential targeting that stops at city-level rather than ZIP or coordinate precision. For a job that doesn't require proof of compliance or fine-grained geo-targeting, none of that matters -- but if a client or contract specifically asks for certified sourcing, that gap is what decides it, not the price or the 24/7 chat.
