NetNut vs Shifter
We put NetNut and Shifter side by side on price, pool depth, coverage and reliability. Every number here is pulled from our provider database and updated as the market moves — no vague marketing claims.
NetNut (ISP & Residential, $7.50/GB) and Shifter (Residential (Rotating), $12.99/5 IPs/mo) both target serious proxy users, but they win on different axes. NetNut is cheaper ($7.50/GB vs $12.99/5 IPs/mo) — roughly 2× the gap.
NetNut differentiates itself with direct ISP partnerships. This makes IPs highly stable but the network is limited to 50 countries. At $7.50/GB they are 10x more expensive than Cheapest-Proxies.
Shifter has pivoted to residential backconnect proxies with good rotation quality. However the per-IP monthly pricing model becomes very expensive at scale compared to Cheapest-Proxies.
