Decodo and Infatica sit close together on the mid-market tier — both offer full residential coverage, mobile proxies with carrier targeting, and PAYG billing without monthly commitments. The comparison reveals a notable targeting inversion: Infatica documents ASN targeting on residential proxies, Decodo does not. Decodo holds independently named compliance certifications, Infatica references industry credentials without specifying them.

Decodo brings ISO 27001:2022 and EWDCI co-founder status to a 115M+ residential pool with ZIP and coordinate targeting, a mobile network with 700+ documented ASNs, a 14-day money-back guarantee, and sub-user management. Infatica brings ASN targeting on residential proxies, dashboard-native rotation control with timed intervals from 5 to 60 minutes, GeoDNS routing to the nearest gateway, and a lighter KYC gate — required only at first purchase via Veriff.

Teams choosing between them are choosing between a larger pool with verified compliance credentials or ASN residential targeting with operational configuration flexibility.

Decodo suits teams whose procurement requires ISO 27001 and EWDCI co-founder credentials — or whose mobile workloads need carrier and ASN targeting across 700+ documented ASNs. ZIP and coordinate targeting are available on residential proxies. A 14-day money-back guarantee and uncapped PAYG reduce commitment risk. Sub-user management is available for project isolation. The limitation: ASN targeting on residential proxies is not documented.

Infatica suits teams that need ASN targeting on residential proxies alongside dashboard-native rotation control. Timed rotation at 5-to-60-minute intervals is configurable without code changes. KYC is required only at first purchase via Veriff — not as a baseline network gate. PAYG is available without a subscription. The limitations: the residential pool is smaller at 40M+, compliance certifications are referenced but not specifically named, GDPR compliance is not explicitly documented, and maximum sticky session duration is not published.

Decodo's philosophy is that compliance credentials and mobile precision should be independently verifiable. ISO 27001:2022 and EWDCI co-founder status are named certifications with defined audit processes. The mobile network with 700+ ASNs and carrier targeting addresses precision requirements. The 14-day money-back guarantee and PAYG without a monthly cap reduce the entry risk of testing. Banking, streaming, and ticketing targets are explicitly blocked — a defined AUP that signals compliance intent beyond certification.

Infatica's philosophy is that residential targeting precision and rotation control should be accessible without enterprise onboarding friction. ASN targeting on residential proxies extends routing precision beyond what most mid-market providers document. Dashboard-configurable rotation period, geolocation settings, and authentication method reduce the technical barrier of adjusting session behavior. GeoDNS routing to the nearest gateway optimizes connection path. KYC at first purchase via Veriff — one time, not per network access — is lighter than continuous compliance vetting.

You gain verified compliance, pool scale, and mobile ASN depth with Decodo. You give up ASN targeting on residential proxies and dashboard rotation control. With Infatica, the trade runs in reverse — you gain ASN residential targeting and dashboard-native rotation flexibility, and the verified compliance stack, larger pool, and published sticky session TTL become unavailable.

Decodo's residential pool is provider-reported at 115M+ IPs across 195+ countries. Residential proxies support country, region, city, ZIP, and coordinate targeting. ASN targeting on residential proxies is not documented. Mobile proxies cover 10M+ IPs across 160+ countries and 700+ ASNs — carrier and ASN targeting are confirmed. Sticky sessions are configurable up to 24 hours. Dedicated residential IPs are not offered.

Infatica's pool is provider-reported at 40M+ proxies across 195+ countries. Residential proxies support country, region, city, ISP, ZIP, and ASN targeting — all documented in API tool documentation. Mobile proxies support country, city, carrier, and ASN targeting. Three rotation modes: per-request, timed (5 to 60 minute intervals), and sticky via session ID parameter. Maximum sticky session duration is not published. Five proxy types: dynamic residential, mobile, ISP static, dedicated datacenter, and shared datacenter.

Decodo authenticates via username and password in the proxy URL, with IP whitelist authentication also supported. Targeting is configured via proxy username parameters per request. The REST API covers zone management and usage statistics. Sub-user accounts for project isolation are available. A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to self-service plans under 20% usage. KYC with automated fraud checks applies to all customers.

Infatica authenticates via username and password in the proxy string, with IP whitelist authentication also supported — whitelisted IPs take priority. Rotation period, geolocation targeting, and authentication method are all configurable in the dashboard without code changes. Targeting parameters are also available via proxy username string. GeoDNS routes requests to the nearest gateway. KYC via Veriff with ID and selfie is required on first purchase only. Sub-user or team account management is not documented.

Decodo bills residential proxies per GB on PAYG and subscription tiers. PAYG has no published monthly cap. A 3-day trial with 100 MB is available, followed by a 14-day money-back guarantee for self-service plans under 20% usage. A pricing inconsistency between the pricing grid and billing FAQ is documented — verify PAYG rate before committing.

Infatica bills residential proxies per GB on PAYG and subscription tiers, with a 20% annual billing discount available. Mobile proxies are billed per GB separately. ISP static and dedicated datacenter proxies are billed per IP per month. A paid 7-day trial is available — not a free trial. PAYG requires no subscription commitment. No money-back guarantee is documented.

ISO 27001 and EWDCI co-founder credentials are required — or a 115M+ residential pool, mobile 700+ ASN targeting, ZIP targeting, a money-back entry path, or sub-user management are priorities. Decodo fits.

ASN targeting on residential proxies, dashboard-native rotation control without code changes, timed rotation intervals, or lighter KYC friction are the operational priorities. Infatica fits.

You gain verified compliance, pool scale, and mobile ASN depth with Decodo. You give up ASN residential targeting and dashboard rotation control. With Infatica, the trade runs in reverse — you gain ASN residential targeting and dashboard configuration flexibility, and the verified compliance stack, larger pool, and published session TTL become unavailable.

Neither fits teams that need both independently audited compliance certifications and ASN targeting on residential proxies at mid-market pricing.

Ask whether your compliance process requires named certifications — ISO 27001 and EWDCI co-founder membership specifically — and whether ASN targeting is needed on the mobile layer rather than residential. If yes to both, Decodo addresses those requirements with a money-back path and 700+ mobile ASNs.

Ask whether your residential scraping workload requires ASN-level routing — routing by network operator, not just country or city — and whether adjusting rotation intervals without code changes matters operationally. If yes, Infatica's residential ASN targeting and dashboard control are the fit, and the unnamed certifications and unpublished session TTL are the constraints to accept.

If your requirement is named compliance credentials and pool scale — Decodo. If your requirement is ASN residential targeting and dashboard rotation control — Infatica.
