Question 1

Is Smartproxy the same as Decodo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Smartproxy officially became Decodo on April 22, 2025. It is the same company under a new brand name, not two separate providers.

Question 2

Do I need to migrate from Smartproxy to Decodo?

Accepted Answer

No forced migration is required to understand the brand change. Decodo is the current name of the former Smartproxy company. Existing Smartproxy users continued under the Decodo brand.

Question 3

Does Decodo still offer mobile proxies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Decodo Mobile Proxies remain available as a shared global mobile pool product with rotating and sticky sessions, geographic targeting and primarily per-GB billing.

Question 4

How does Decodo Mobile Proxies pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Decodo Mobile is billed primarily per GB. Public promotional packages observed in September 2026 included options such as 2 GB, 8 GB, 25 GB, 50 GB and 100 GB, plus PAYG around $4/GB. VAT may apply. Treat these as a dated snapshot.

Question 5

Why do many teams look for a Smartproxy alternative?

Accepted Answer

Common reasons include wanting a physical device instead of a shared pool, needing Brazil or Spain specifically, preferring fixed-period unlimited traffic, or needing protocols such as SOCKS5 UDP, OpenVPN or WireGuard.

Question 6

Is NafeProxys cheaper than Smartproxy / Decodo?

Accepted Answer

Not always. For light traffic, small Decodo packages can be cheaper. For continuous high transfer on one device, NafeProxys fixed periods with unlimited traffic can cost less than metered GB. Compare traffic shape, not only headline prices.

Question 7

Does NafeProxys have unlimited bandwidth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every NafeProxys plan includes unlimited traffic on the assigned dedicated device for the selected billing period.

Question 8

What does dedicated physical device mean?

Accepted Answer

It means a real Android device with a mobile SIM is assigned to your service for the period you buy. Your connection runs through that hardware rather than a shared global pool endpoint.

Question 9

Does a dedicated device guarantee an exclusive public IPv4?

Accepted Answer

No. Dedicated device means the hardware is assigned to your service. Mobile networks may use CGNAT, so exclusive public IPv4 is not guaranteed.

Question 10

Which countries does NafeProxys cover?

Accepted Answer

Brazil and Spain on physical mobile infrastructure. Check the pricing page for current live availability.

Question 11

Can I use sticky sessions and rotation with NafeProxys?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hold a sticky session when you need the same IP, or rotate per request, on a timer or via API when you need a new IP.

Question 12

Which protocols does NafeProxys support?

Accepted Answer

HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, SOCKS5 UDP, OpenVPN and WireGuard. Authentication supports username/password and IP whitelist.

Question 13

What trial does NafeProxys offer?

Accepted Answer

NafeProxys offers a 1-hour free trial so you can test the dedicated device model before buying a period plan.

Question 14

When should I choose Decodo instead of NafeProxys?

Accepted Answer

Choose Decodo when you need many countries, a very large mobile pool, city/ASN targeting, small entry traffic packages or a broader proxy and scraping product set. Choose NafeProxys for dedicated physical devices, Brazil/Spain focus, unlimited traffic and extended protocol support.
