The Geonode alternative when you need more than cheap gigabytes

Geonode's residential price is $0.88 per gigabyte pay-as-you-go at 10 GB, falling to $0.30 at 100 TB, or $0.792 per gigabyte on a 10 GB monthly subscription, falling to $0.27 at 100 TB. Both ladders are published in full, which more providers should do, and both reach rates far below anything we sell.

Our rates are $1.50/GB for Essential, $3.00/GB for Premium and $3.00/GB for Mobile. On every residential line, Geonode is the cheaper network at any volume you are likely to buy.

The reason is structural, and Geonode explains it openly. It runs its own network of 7.5M+ residential IPs active monthly in 150+ countries and sells that bandwidth as close to cost as it can. That is a different business from ours, which attaches mobile, static subnets and Mac servers to smaller pools.

If price per gigabyte is the only variable in your decision, buy from Geonode. If it is not, the rest of this page is the case for us. Our full sheet is on pricing.

Geonode has no mobile proxy product, and its published price list has no mobile line. Its catalogue covers residential, ISP and datacenter traffic, and stops there.

That gap matters when a target checks the network type. A home broadband IP and a phone on a carrier network look different to a site that asks, and no residential filter turns one into the other.

Our Mobile pool runs on real phones attached to carrier networks in 150 countries, with US state and city targeting, at $3.00/GB. See mobile proxies for how the pool is built.

If your work needs a carrier address, Geonode is not an option at any price, and the per-gigabyte comparison stops applying.

Geonode prices static ISP addresses one at a time. Shared IPs cost $1.75 per IP a month at 3 to 4 IPs, falling to $1.25 at 1,000 or more, and dedicated ones cost $3.50 per IP a month at 3 to 4 IPs, falling to $2.25 at 1,000 or more. Every IP comes with unlimited, unmetered bandwidth, which is a genuinely good term.

The shared plan is cheaper for a reason: a shared IP can serve up to three customers, while a dedicated IP belongs to one account. The reputation of a shared address is set by everyone using it, not just by you.

Ours adds a different unit. We sell single IPs from $1.25 per IP a month (minimum 50 IPs), or a whole /24 for $255 a month, and each whole /24 goes to exactly one customer. With a /24 you are not renting addresses scattered across an inventory; you are getting a contiguous block that looks like a real network, and its reputation is yours to keep.

Where Geonode is the better buy is size. Its ISP orders start at 3 IPs, and it offers no free trial or sample IPs for ISP proxies. If you need five addresses, our smallest ISP purchase, 50 single IPs, is more than you want.

On coverage the two of us are level for now. Geonode's ISP inventory is in the US, with the ISP selectable by country only, and ours is US ranges today, international to follow. Our subnets are sold in restock windows, members first and then everyone; see ISP proxies for how a restock works.

Geonode's catalogue is residential, unlimited residential, ISP and rotating datacenter proxies, plus scraper, map, crawl and search APIs. There is no server line in it, Mac or otherwise.

We rent Mac minis by the day and by the month, priced from $32 a day or $160 a month. The table below is read live from our catalogue, with sold-out builds marked rather than hidden.

This is the cleanest split on the page. If your job needs macOS on a dedicated machine with a residential or mobile exit in front of it, you can buy both halves here. At Geonode you can buy only the proxy.

We expected to win this section. We do not, and it is worth saying so.

Geonode advertises sticky sessions from 3 minutes up to 24 hours on residential, though the IP can change sooner if the device goes offline. It targets by country, state, city, ZIP, ASN or ISP, and operating system, where matching IPs are online. That is a wider set of filters than ours, and it applies on its cheapest pool.

Our rule is up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). Premium and Mobile carry the long hold, and Essential, our cheapest pool, carries the short one. Targeting is country, US state and ASN on every pool, with city on Premium and Mobile.

So if you need long sessions and fine filters at the lowest price, Geonode is the better buy. Our one caution is that a filter only helps when there are addresses behind it, and Geonode's own page carries a note that its pool is smaller than some competitors' and that buyers needing a niche geography should test it first. Test both networks on a small city or a single ASN before you assume either has depth there.

Protocols are close. Geonode lists HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 and UDP on residential. We run HTTP on port 7777 on every pool, and SOCKS5 on port 1080 on Premium, Mobile and ISP.

Geonode is easy to try. Its residential trial is $5 for 10 GB over 3 days, and there is a larger programme: 1 TB free for 7 days, open to users of 500 GB or more a month after a manual review. Ours is 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google, which costs nothing.

On expiry, its terms describe pay-as-you-go bandwidth that remains available until it is used. Our wallet does not expire under normal circumstances either, as our Terms set out.

Refunds are where the two policies differ most. Geonode takes refund requests within 7 days of a charge, and only for billing errors, charges after a cancellation, or where the law requires one. Ours are requests within 14 days of a top-up, handled under the refund policy.

Geonode accepts cards, crypto, Alipay and wire transfer, but not PayPal. We take Visa, Mastercard and Amex through Stripe, or SOL.

Geonode offers live chat and email, with a stated response time under five minutes. Ours is Discord tickets and email, answered by the people who run the network.

On price, Geonode wins, and it wins on every residential line. It also matches our longest sticky sessions on its cheapest pool and offers finer targeting than we do. If your job is residential bandwidth at the lowest rate, with long sessions and detailed filters, buy from Geonode.

The case for us rests on what Geonode does not sell. Mobile proxies on real carrier networks, a whole ISP subnet that belongs to one customer, and Mac servers by the day or the month are all here, and none of them are there.

So this is a catalogue decision before it is a price decision. If your work needs one of those three, start here. If it does not, Geonode is the cheaper network, and we would rather say so than hide it.

Geonode shows a review-site widget on its own pages. We quote no score from it or from anywhere else; a copied figure goes stale and misleads the person reading it.
