Proxidize: What is it and what is it used for?
As the proxy industry developed and matured, there became an obvious need for companies to create their own mobile proxies, and that’s where Proxidize comes in as the inventor of DIY mobile proxy farms that provides all required components. That need was amplified by the increased cost, instability and lack of privacy that came with buying from typical proxy providers.
In this article, we’ll look into Proxidize and how it can help all marketers empower their processes, especially now with the Proxidize - AdsPower partnership.
What is Proxidize?
Proxidize is a DIY mobile proxy creating and management platform, that provides all the required components to create a successful mobile proxy farm creating 4G LTE or 5G proxies, including the hardware, software, and SIM cards/data plans (currently in select countries), as well as an industry-leading support made of highly-certified engineers available around the clock.
Proxidize will allow anyone with zero knowledge about proxies, to have a full-fledged in-house solution typically in less than 30-minutes once the components are delivered. Proxidize also delivers to every corner of the world, and currently has users in 80+ countries. Proxidize has been developed from the ground up to provide a seamless experience and take care of all the complexities that come with operating an in-house mobile proxy network.
It works by connecting cellular devices, typically 4G/LTE USB modems, into a processing backend computer that runs the Proxidize software, handles all the functionalities of the solution.
What is Proxidize used for?
Proxidize has dozens of use cases, and covers all the use cases of proxies, with a few Proxidize-specific use cases that normal proxies can’t be used for. At its core, Proxidize creates HTTP(S) and SOCKS proxies that can be used for anything. Here are some of the most common use cases:
Advertising, social media, and other accounts management
The ability to manage multiple social media accounts for social media and advertising remains an urgent priority for these businesses. One core aspect of the management process is the proxies, which Proxidize excels at. Not only will Proxidize users get all the benefits of Proxidize listed below, they will also be able to manage more accounts per proxy and have access to localization that is impossible to achieve using any other solution.
Web scraping
Web scraping is the core and most popular use case for Proxidize. Due to the nature of proxy providers sharing access to their network across all their customers, they often achieve less than desired results when it comes to success rates and blocks. This becomes a thing of the past with Proxidize, thanks to its private nature, as well as the CGNAT aspect of mobile carriers that can camouflage scrapers to look much more like normal users.
Ticketing
With increased security and anti-scalping measures taken by ticketing sites, the need for a bullet-proof ticketing stack is higher than ever before. Proxidize has a long proven history of partnering with ticketing companies as Proxidize is able to deliver superior results for less than half the cost of proxy providers. As well as access to ultra-localized ticketing events that would be impossible to access using any other proxy solution.
Proxy selling
Proxy selling is another area where Proxidize excels as it currently powers the majority of mobile proxy sellers. And not only does Proxidize have 90% of the requirements for proxy sellers, such as custom ports, API rotation links, limiting traffic, domains, custom credentials, traffic usage statistics, and more. Proxidize is also currently working on a new full-fledged whitelabel setting solution that’ll make the job of the 100+ proxy sellers much easier.
How is Proxidize better than typical proxies?
It is unquestionable that there are hundreds of great proxy sellers out there that you can get proxies from in a few clicks. So why would anyone go through the process of implementing a more involved solution such as Proxidize? The answer is simple. It’s better. It’s so much better in almost every imaginable way. Here’s how:
Costs 50-90% less
Cost is often than #1 determining factor when considering what proxy solution to use. And Proxidize creates a value proposition that is incomparable to anything else. For example, a typical dedicated mobile proxy might cost anywhere from $150-$300 per proxy per month, whereas using Proxidize this cost can be reduced to as little as $20-$50. The same applied to when using per GB billing models. Proxy sellers typically provide mobile proxies for around $30-$40 per GB, but with Proxidize this can be lowered to an amazing $0.1 to $0.8 per GB.
Proxidize is much faster
Thanks to the on-premise nature of Proxidize, not only will your proxies be much faster, anywhere from 10-60 Mbps with Proxidize, you will also have absolute control over the speed as it’s only limited by local bandwidth of the ISPs and carriers. When compared to typical proxy providers, Proxidize proxies are usually 50-500% faster.
More private and secure
In today’s modern world, security and privacy are indispensable business tools that are fundamentally important to the longevity of any business. Proxidize holds privacy and security as its most important value point, especially today where we have seen proxy providers actively spying on their customers, something like this would never happen with Proxidize. On top of that, Proxidzie is currently undergoing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification process to further power its position as the most trusted, secure and private proxy solution on the market.
Vertical integration and control
When looking at the macro shifts in business trends today, vertical integration is one that can’t be missed. More and more businesses are focusing on vertically integrating their critical technologies for a simple reason. When your business survival relies on proxies, it becomes a responsibility to have the most vertical integration and control possible.
Proxidize is not for everyone
With all of the great benefits it offers, it remains that Proxidize is not for everyone. Proxidize has been specifically designed for heavy proxy users and not for occasional users. Since Proxidize is also an on-premise solution, it lacks the geo hopping capabilities of some proxy providers. And even though Proxidize is constantly aiming to solve these matters, they remain important to consider when looking to implement Proxidize.
The good news is if you’re an occasional proxy user, Proxidize has a free and partially open-source mobile application that offers some of the great benefits. The app Proxidize Android, also available on GitHub, can also be used to establish a proof of concept before investing in Proxidize equipment.
Proxidize pricing
Proxidize is without a doubt the most flexibly priced solution available. With plans that start from free (for research purposes) all the way to enterprise plan that can power any proxy user, no matter the needs. Proxidize pricing can be broken down into three spects, those being:
Hardware
All Proxidize hardware includes free worldwide premium shipping, and varies from a small 5-modem kit all the way up to hundreds of modems in a single kit.
Software
Proxidize software pricing is not only incredibly flexible, but you can always scale up or down at any moment to match your usage and to ensure you’re only paying for what you need.
Data plans
Data plans are currently available in select countries, mainly the United States, starting at $39.99/plan/month for unlimited, with plans to add 20+ countries before the end of 2023.
Conclusion
With everything we’ve looked over, we can conclude that Proxidize is a solid solution and a must-have tool in the arsenal of any marketer. It is incredibly capable and unmatched by anything else. Although it falls short in the aspect of geolocation making it not for everyone, it far overcomes that with its unparalleled value, speed, privacy and control.
