Decodo and Rayobyte are both EWDCI-certified — Decodo as a co-founder, Rayobyte as a certified member. That shared ethical sourcing alignment surfaces a targeting inversion beneath it: Rayobyte documents ASN targeting on residential proxies at no extra cost, Decodo does not. Decodo documents 700+ ASNs on its mobile network. The comparison turns on which targeting layer and which access model matter more.

Decodo holds ISO 27001:2022 alongside its EWDCI co-founder status, offers a mobile network across 700+ documented ASNs in 160+ countries, and backs entry with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Rayobyte offers non-expiring PAYG residential traffic, a datacenter network spanning 300K+ IPs across 20,000+ C-class subnets with automatic 30-day IP replacement cycles, and a Web Scraping API with 5,000 free monthly scrapes on signup.

Teams choosing between them are choosing between ISO-verified compliance and mobile precision, or ASN residential targeting and a data model that eliminates traffic expiry.

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 money-back guarantee and uncapped PAYG reduce commitment risk. The limitation: ASN targeting on residential proxies is not documented.

Rayobyte suits teams whose residential PAYG usage benefits from non-expiring traffic — no billing-cycle pressure — or whose datacenter requirements benefit from 20,000+ C-class subnets with automatic replacement cycles. ASN targeting is confirmed on residential proxies at no extra cost. A Web Scraping API with 5,000 free monthly scrapes is included on signup. The limitations: no ISO certification or SLA exists, the residential pool is smaller at 40M+, mobile proxies are not offered as a standalone product, and sticky session TTL is not published.

Decodo's philosophy is that compliance credentials and mobile precision should be accessible and independently verifiable. ISO 27001:2022 provides third-party certification. EWDCI co-founder status reflects a structural commitment to ethical sourcing. The mobile network's 700+ ASNs and carrier targeting address precision requirements that residential-only providers cannot match. A money-back guarantee lowers the evaluation risk. Banking, streaming, and ticketing targets are explicitly blocked — an AUP that signals considered compliance intent.

Rayobyte's philosophy is that proxy access should not impose arbitrary cost through traffic expiry or manual IP management. Non-expiring PAYG residential traffic retains its value regardless of billing cycle. The datacenter network refreshes automatically every 30 days across 20,000+ C-class subnets — IP freshness maintained without operational intervention. ASN targeting on residential proxies at no extra cost extends routing precision. EWDCI certified membership validates ethical sourcing without requiring the compliance overhead of ISO certification.

You gain ISO compliance, mobile ASN precision, and a larger residential pool with Decodo. You give up ASN residential targeting and non-expiring traffic. With Rayobyte, the trade runs in reverse — you gain ASN residential targeting and non-expiring data access, and the ISO audit trail, mobile proxies, and 24-hour sticky sessions 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.

Rayobyte's residential pool is provider-reported at 40M+ IPs. Country, state, city, and ASN targeting are confirmed at no extra cost on residential proxies. ZIP and carrier targeting are not documented. Sticky session TTL is described as 'a longer period of time' without a specific duration published. The datacenter network spans 300K+ IPs across 20,000+ C-class subnets and 9 ASNs in 27+ countries, with automatic 30-day IP replacement cycles and instant individual replacements. ISP proxies draw from 9+ ASNs with static and rotating formats and unlimited bandwidth at 1 Gbps. Mobile proxies are not offered as a standalone product.

Decodo authenticates via username and password in the proxy URL, with IP whitelist authentication also supported. Targeting is configured via proxy username parameters. 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.

Rayobyte provides a proxy management API and a Web Scraping API with 5,000 free monthly scrapes on signup. HTTP/S and SOCKS5 protocols are confirmed; UDP is not documented. A free residential trial is available via account creation. API rate limits and full endpoint documentation are not published. Multiple payment methods are accepted including PayPal and Google Pay.

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. A pricing inconsistency between the pricing grid and billing FAQ is documented — verify PAYG rate before committing.

Rayobyte's PAYG residential plan uses non-expiring traffic — purchased GB do not expire between billing cycles or after subscription changes. Subscription plans are also available. Datacenter proxies are billed per IP with unlimited bandwidth. ISP proxies are billed per IP with unlimited bandwidth. A free residential trial is available via account creation.

ISO 27001 and EWDCI co-founder credentials, mobile carrier and ASN targeting across 700+ ASNs, ZIP targeting, or a money-back entry path are requirements. Decodo fits.

ASN targeting on residential proxies, non-expiring PAYG traffic, automated datacenter IP replacement across 20,000+ subnets, or a Scraping API with free monthly usage are the priorities. Rayobyte fits.

You gain ISO compliance, mobile ASN depth, and a larger pool with Decodo. You give up ASN residential targeting and non-expiring traffic. With Rayobyte, the trade runs in reverse — you gain ASN residential targeting and non-expiring access, and the ISO audit trail, mobile proxies, and 24-hour sticky sessions become unavailable.

Neither fits teams that need both ISO-level compliance documentation and ASN targeting on residential proxies.

Ask whether your procurement requires ISO 27001 or EWDCI co-founder membership on the vendor record — or whether your mobile workload needs carrier and ASN targeting across hundreds of documented ASNs. If yes, Rayobyte's EWDCI certified membership does not satisfy ISO or co-founder requirements. Decodo addresses those directly with a money-back path.

Ask whether ASN-level routing on residential proxies is a requirement — or whether purchased traffic expiring at billing cycle boundaries is a recurring cost concern. If yes to either, Rayobyte's residential ASN targeting and non-expiring PAYG address those directly, and the absence of ISO certification and mobile proxies are the trade-offs to accept.

If your requirement is named compliance credentials and mobile ASN depth — Decodo. If your requirement is ASN residential targeting and non-expiring data access — Rayobyte.
