| Requested traffic | Decodo checkout | Froxy checkout | Cheaper public checkout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | $4 | $5.50 | Decodo |
| 2 GB | $11.25 | $25 | Decodo |
| 5 GB | $35 | $25 | Froxy |
| 10 GB | $35 | $70 | Decodo |
| 20 GB | $81.25 | $155 | Decodo on the provider’s page |
| 50 GB | $150 | $315 | Decodo |
| 100 GB | $275 | $550 | Decodo |
| 250 GB | $625 | $1,400 | Decodo |
| 500 GB | $1,125 | $2,750 | Decodo |
| 1,000 GB | $2,000 | $2,750 | Decodo |
At 2 GB, Decodo requires an $11.25 checkout while Froxy requires $25, so a 2 GB buyer spends less with Decodo. At 5 GB, the prices are $35 and $25, making Froxy cheaper. At 10 GB, Decodo still costs $35 while Froxy moves to $70, so Decodo becomes cheaper again. It remains lower at every later shared sampled volume.

The 5 GB result should not be extended to a larger workload. Froxy’s $25 plan covers 5 GB exactly. Its next covering plan contains 15 GB and costs $70. Decodo’s $35 plan contains 10 GB, so its checkout does not change between the sampled 5 GB and 10 GB requests. The reversal comes from those bundle edges rather than a smooth per-GB rate intersection. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Mobile checkout ladder
| Requested traffic | Decodo checkout | Froxy checkout | Cheaper public checkout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | $4 | $7.50 | Decodo |
| 2 GB | $7.50 | $36 | Decodo |
| 5 GB | $28 | $36 | Decodo |
| 10 GB | $81.25 | $69 | Froxy on the provider’s page |
| 20 GB | $81.25 | $165 | Decodo on the provider’s page |
| 50 GB | $150 | $300 | Decodo |
At 5 GB mobile, Decodo costs $28 against Froxy’s $36, so Decodo is the lower checkout. At 10 GB, Froxy costs $69 against Decodo’s $81.25, changing the conclusion to Froxy. At 20 GB, Decodo remains at $81.25 while Froxy moves to $165, returning the lower checkout to Decodo. No shared quote exists above 50 GB in this pair record, so the data does not name a mobile winner at 100 GB or beyond.

Constraints that can outweigh the short price lead
Froxy’s captured residential plans publish 30-day billing, a 30-day traffic period, rollover on the provider’s page, per-plan pooling, unlimited concurrent sessions, rotating and sticky modes, and country, city, and ISP targeting. They do not publish state, ZIP, or ASN targeting in the recorded fields. Decodo publishes a monthly commitment, rotating and sticky modes, 30-minute sticky sessions, and country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. It does not publish expiry, rollover, pooling, or concurrency for the captured residential row.

The captured Froxy mobile plans also publish rollover, per-plan pooling, unlimited concurrent sessions, and country, city, and ISP targeting. Decodo’s mobile row publishes country, city, and ASN targeting but no concurrency maximum, bandwidth expiry, or rollover value. A 10 GB buyer who needs ASN targeting should verify Froxy before treating its $12.25 checkout advantage as decisive.

Decision rule
Froxy has the lower residential checkout only at the sampled 5 GB point and the lower mobile checkout only at 10 GB. Decodo is cheaper at the adjacent sampled volumes on both sides. Forecast the next billing period precisely, then verify rollover, concurrency, targeting, and session requirements before buying. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
