The Infatica alternative for buyers who would rather prepay than procure

Infatica describes itself as a web data provider rather than a proxy shop, and the catalogue backs that up. It sells residential, IPv6 residential, static ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies, plus scraping APIs. The network behind it is 45M+ ethically sourced proxies across 195+ countries.

What sets it apart is the paperwork. It publishes four ISO certifications: 27001:2022, 27701:2019, 20000-1:2018 and 22301:2019, lists SOC 2 Type 2 on its compliance roadmap rather than complete, and runs a use-case review before any account is activated. Its SDK, the consent-based source of its residential and mobile peers, has independent audits by Halborn in July 2025 and NCC Group in October 2025.

That is a serious posture, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. If your security team sends every vendor a questionnaire, Infatica has answered most of it in public. We have not.

ResiFactory is the other kind of provider: rotating residential and mobile bandwidth from a prepaid wallet, static ISP proxies, and Mac servers by the day or the month.

Infatica's navigation advertises residential IPs from $0.3 per GB. Its residential plan table tells a different story. The entry rate is $4 per GB pay as you go, there is a 7-day residential trial for $4, and the largest monthly package brings it to $2.60 per GB on 1,000 GB a month, a $2,600 package. On annual billing the lowest residential rate is $2.08 per GB on 12,000 GB a year, a $24,960 package, the cheapest residential gigabyte we could find anywhere on the page.

The only rate on the page that reaches the menu figure is $0.30 per GB on its 2,000 GB shared datacenter plan. Our guess is that the headline comes from there, or from a custom contract for very large buyers. Either is a reasonable thing to offer. Neither is a residential plan you can buy from the page, and the navigation does not say which plan qualifies. Mobile has the same shape: the navigation lists mobile IPs from $1 per GB, while the table starts at $8 per GB pay as you go and falls to $4 per GB on 200 GB a month, or $3.20 on 2,400 GB a year.

None of this makes Infatica dishonest. Plenty of providers lead with their lowest number. Ask their sales team which plan the headline belongs to before you budget on it, and compare against the table rather than the menu.

We publish one rate per pool and charge it at any volume. Essential is $1.50/GB, Premium is $3.00/GB and Mobile is $3.00/GB. See pricing for the full sheet.

On the day we checked, Essential sat below every rung of Infatica's residential table, annual plans included. Premium sat below their entry rungs and above their largest ones. Mobile sat below every rung of their mobile table. Price lists move, so trust the live figures on this page over this paragraph.

Their volume discount is real, and at enterprise scale it matters. Their pricing page offers 20% off when billed annually, and custom plans on request. If you spend serious money on residential bandwidth every year, ask them for a quote; a negotiated contract can beat any published sheet, ours included.

Where we come out ahead is the entry end and the middle. Load $0.50 into Essential and you pay $1.50/GB for the first gigabyte and the thousandth, with no package to choose first.

Infatica requires identity verification for every customer, with a government ID and a selfie and no exceptions, and it runs a use-case review before any account is activated. For a network built on consenting peers that is a defensible choice: keeping abusive traffic off the network protects every other customer on it.

It is also a step. A government ID and a selfie before a first purchase is routine for a procurement team, and a real hurdle for a developer who wants to test an idea this evening. If your policy requires a vendor that verifies every customer, Infatica meets it on paper.

Our sign-up is a sign-in. Use Google, Apple, email, a passkey or Discord, then top up the pool you need from $0.50. There is no application and no sales call.

Infatica sells static ISP by the address, at $1.95 to $3.00 per IP a month, with unlimited traffic. It offers dedicated ISP locations in Canada, the USA, Brazil and countries across Europe and Asia. That is a wider map and a smaller unit than ours, and both are genuine advantages.

Ours is $255 a month for a whole /24 of 254 addresses, and each subnet goes to exactly one customer, so its reputation is yours alone. The product is US ranges today, international to follow. Subnets are sold in restock windows, members first and then everyone.

One line from their policy is worth reading before you buy: no refunds or replacements on ISP and datacenter proxies once they are assigned. Read it beside our refund policy. See ISP proxies for how our restocks work.

Infatica's mobile plans start at $8 per GB pay as you go, and its pricing page lists login-password or IP whitelist auth, country, city and ISP-level targeting, rotation time selection, and SOCKS and HTTP on mobile, as it does on residential.

Ours is $3.00/GB, on real phones attached to carrier networks in 150 countries, with US state, city and ASN targeting. A sticky session on Mobile and Premium holds for up to 24 hours (120 minutes on Essential). See mobile proxies for how the pool is built.

Infatica's refund policy is narrow, and it says so plainly: refunds for a double payment or an outage, none once a trial has started, none after 10 days and none on payments under $5. That is common at enterprise providers, where the trial does the work a refund does elsewhere. Their trial is a paid one, a 7-day residential trial for $4, and a small fixed charge is a sensible way to keep abuse out.

Ours works differently. Refunds are requests within 14 days of a top-up, under the refund policy, and to test first we offer 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google.

Infatica offers a 24/7 support team, by ticket or email. Ours is Discord tickets and email, answered by the people who run the network.

Infatica's catalogue is residential, IPv6 residential, static ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies, plus scraping APIs. There is no Mac server in it.

We rent Mac minis by the day and by the month, from $32 a day or $160 a month. The table below is read live from our catalogue, so stock and price are the ones at the moment you loaded the page.

If you are buying for a company that scores vendors on certifications, identity checks and audit reports, Infatica is the stronger choice, and a prepaid wallet does not answer a security questionnaire. Its breadth helps too: datacenter, IPv6, static ISP in many countries and scraping APIs from one vendor.

If you are buying for yourself or a small team, the published numbers favour us. One rate per pool, the same at any volume, no package to size and no annual commitment, with refunds measured in days. And if you need a Mac server, the comparison ends early.

Whichever way you lean, compare the plan tables, not the navigation. The headline residential figure on their site is not a plan we could find, and the table is where the price you will pay lives.

Proxyway published an in-depth review of Infatica, revisited in mid-2026, and it is the most detailed independent look at their network we know of. It also names two gaps: no UDP support and no proper sub-users. Read it in full rather than through our summary.

We copy no one's scores onto this page. Our own record is the trust page, and our prices are read live rather than typed in.
