Frequently asked questions
Are Decodo and Smartproxy the same company?
Yes, Smartproxy renamed itself Decodo.
When is unlimited traffic worth it?
When you use the proxy many hours a day or with heavy content (video, images): with per-GB billing the cost grows with use, with a time-based plan it stays fixed.
