MarsProxies

Configurable session duration with a small residential pool

MarsProxies documents sticky session duration in concrete terms: configurable from 1 second to 7 days for residential proxies. This specificity is rarely exposed in public documentation — the full configurable range is stated explicitly on the product page. The residential pool is reported at 1M+ IPs across 195 countries, which may constrain IP diversity at high volume. PAYG residential traffic is non-expiring. Mobile proxies use dedicated (non-shared) IPs — a distinction that matters for use cases where IP sharing with other customers is a problem.

How This Proxy Network Actually Works

MarsProxies routes residential requests through a network sourced from genuine users and ISPs. The session control model is explicitly documented with configurable duration from 1 second to 7 days — the interval is configurable at the code level. Per-request rotation assigns a new IP on each request in rotating mode. Mobile proxies operate on automatic rotation only — sticky sessions for mobile are not documented.

Country, state, and city targeting are all confirmed for residential proxies at no extra cost — the pricing page explicitly states that all geo-targeting levels are included without surcharge. ASN targeting is not referenced in the residential documentation. Username/password and IP whitelisting authentication are both confirmed for the residential proxy product. HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 protocols are confirmed for residential and ISP proxies. UDP protocol is not referenced.

ISP proxies are dedicated (non-shared) IPs in 30+ countries with unlimited bandwidth and a 99.99% uptime figure. Failed ISP proxy replacement is guaranteed — a specific remediation policy is documented. Datacenter proxies are also dedicated and non-shared in 30+ countries with unlimited bandwidth and zero session limits. Failed datacenter IP replacement is also documented. Mobile proxies use dedicated IPs with unlimited bandwidth; flexible plan durations of 1, 7, 30, 60, and 90 days are available. Mobile proxy location count is not published.

Core Philosophy

MarsProxies competes on session control and dedicated IP access across three static product types (ISP, datacenter, mobile), not on pool scale. The 1M+ residential pool is small relative to high-volume scraping requirements — the positioning accepts that limitation and compensates with session flexibility and dedicated static options. Non-expiring PAYG residential traffic removes the monthly consumption deadline pressure that most subscription models impose.

The sourcing description — 'genuine users and ISPs' — is on the residential product page without naming a certification body or independent auditor. No EWDCI membership, ISO certification, or third-party sourcing audit is referenced in evidence. For teams that require compliance documentation, MarsProxies' sourcing page does not provide it. For teams that require long-lived sessions beyond short-duration rotation windows, the 7-day maximum supports that architectural need regardless of pool size.

The mobile product's dedicated IP model is a meaningful choice: mobile proxies on MarsProxies are not shared with other customers. This is relevant for use cases where mobile IP reputation can be degraded by other tenants on the same IP. Automatic rotation is the only session mode for mobile — sticky mobile sessions are not documented, which is a hard constraint for multi-step authenticated mobile sessions.

Network & Coverage

The residential pool is reported at 1M+ IPs across 195 countries — self-reported, no independent audit referenced. Country, state, and city targeting are all confirmed at no extra cost for residential proxies. ASN targeting is not documented. Mobile proxies cover 5G/4G/3G/LTE networks — the total location count is not published. ISP proxies operate in 30+ countries with 99.99% uptime and unlimited bandwidth. Datacenter proxies operate in 30+ countries with unlimited bandwidth and zero session limits.

Rotating and sticky sessions are both confirmed for residential proxies. Sticky session duration is configurable from 1 second to 7 days — this full range is explicitly documented on the residential product page. Mobile proxies use automatic rotation only — sticky mobile sessions are not available. Per-request rotation and configurable sticky sessions coexist within the same residential product without a plan change.

Username/password and IP whitelisting authentication are both confirmed. HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 protocols are confirmed. UDP is not documented. 24/7 support is available via live chat, email, and Discord. A response time SLA is not published. ISP and datacenter proxy replacement policies are documented — failed IPs are replaced, which is a specific reliability commitment beyond standard availability claims.

Pricing Logic

Residential proxies are PAYG from $3.49/GB with non-expiring traffic and bulk discounts at higher volume. No monthly commitment is required. Credit card, Alipay, PayPal, and cryptocurrency are all accepted. No free trial is available for residential proxies — the minimum entry is a 1 GB purchase at the PAYG rate. ISP proxies and datacenter proxies are billed per IP with unlimited bandwidth included — the per-IP rate varies by volume and contract period.

Mobile proxies are billed per plan duration: 1, 7, 30, 60, or 90-day plans starting at $8.49/day. Unlimited bandwidth is included on all mobile plans. The mobile billing model is plan-duration-based rather than per-GB, which suits use cases where mobile bandwidth consumption is unpredictable. The lack of a free trial is the primary onboarding friction — testing the network requires purchasing a minimum of 1 GB at $3.49 for residential.

Trade-offs

You gain a precisely documented sticky session range: 1 second to 7 days, configurable per request without a plan change. Non-expiring PAYG residential traffic eliminates monthly consumption pressure. Country, state, and city targeting are all confirmed at no extra cost. Dedicated (non-shared) IPs across ISP, datacenter, and mobile products remove the cross-tenant reputation risk. ISP and datacenter proxy replacement policies are specifically documented — not just implied. Cryptocurrency is accepted as a payment method.

You give up pool scale — 1M+ residential IPs constrains IP diversity at high volume. ASN targeting is absent. Mobile sticky sessions are not available — mobile proxies rotate automatically only. No compliance certification or independent sourcing audit is referenced. Mobile proxy location count is not published, which makes geographic mobile coverage planning difficult. No free trial exists — testing requires a paid first purchase.

When It Fits

  • Your scraping pipeline requires sticky sessions with precisely configurable durations from seconds to days — multi-step session workflows that need the session to stay alive for hours benefit from the documented 7-day ceiling
  • Non-expiring PAYG residential traffic matters for your budget cycle — you can accumulate purchased GB without worrying about a monthly reset
  • Dedicated non-shared mobile IPs are required for your mobile-specific use case — reputation isolation from other tenants is the architectural need
  • Country, state, and city targeting on residential proxies suffice for your geo-precision requirements
  • Cryptocurrency payment is a requirement or preference for your procurement workflow

When It Breaks

MarsProxies' constraints are structural, not incidental:

  • Your residential pipeline requires more than 1M+ IP diversity — the small pool creates IP reuse at high volume, which is detectable by targets with fingerprinting defenses
  • ASN targeting is a hard requirement for residential proxies — it is not documented for any MarsProxies product
  • Your mobile use case requires sticky sessions — mobile proxies use automatic rotation only; sticky mobile sessions do not exist on this platform
  • Mobile proxy geographic coverage must cover specific countries — the country or location count for mobile proxies is not published
  • Your compliance review requires sourcing audit documentation, named certifications, or EWDCI membership — none are referenced in evidence

Alternatives to Consider

If MarsProxies' small residential pool or mobile limitations are blockers:

  • IPRoyal — 32M+ residential pool with non-expiring PAYG, per-country IP count transparency, and ISP proxies with flexible lease durations; fits if pool depth is needed alongside a similar non-expiring billing model
  • Rayobyte — fits if ASN targeting and a larger documented residential pool are required, alongside EWDCI membership and a Scraping API
  • Geonode — similar entry-level positioning with bandwidth rollover and a $5 trial; fits if even lower initial spend is needed before committing to a specific provider

Verdict

Use MarsProxies if configurable sticky session duration from 1 second to 7 days is architecturally important, if dedicated non-shared mobile IPs matter for your mobile use case, and if non-expiring PAYG at $3.49/GB fits your residential budget. Skip it if your residential operation requires a pool above 1M+ IPs for IP diversity, if ASN targeting is required, or if sticky sessions for mobile proxies are part of your architecture.
