Quick decision

Getting blocked while scraping

You're getting blocked. CAPTCHAs, bans, instant rate limits. Datacenter IPs won't fix it — residential IPs will.

If you're getting blocked → Decodo is the easiest way to fix it. You can adjust later if needed.

Decodo

Fits well if you want it working without figuring things out. Reliable pool, clean API.

Bright Data

Makes sense if your targets are heavily protected — Amazon, Google, LinkedIn.

Oxylabs

Only makes sense if you need JS rendering built into the proxy layer. Overkill otherwise.

NoteIf you're not blocked yet — you probably don't need residential proxies. Start simple and switch later if needed.
