Infatica Review
Infatica is a mid-market proxy and web scraper vendor with enterprise aspirations, competing with companies like Bright Data, SOAX, and Decodo. We revisit it in mid-2026 after first testing the provider several years ago. Back then, it was already a decent service, but still very much in the making. What about now? Let’s find out!
The review will give you some context about Infatica as a company, its user experience, and proxy performance based on weeks of testing.

Three-Minute Human Summary
- Infatica sells access to all types of proxy servers, with residential proxies as its main product. The provider sources IPs in-house, through an SDK. You can also get various web scrapers controlled via an API or a no-code interface.
- You shouldn’t find Infatica lacking in features: there’s city and ASN level filtering (both can be combined together) and flexible rotation settings. The main things that are missing are the UDP protocol and proper sub-users.
- Infatica’s proxy network is large in general, with a big presence in countries like Russia and China, and average in desirable locales like the US. The infrastructure failed 3-4% more than the industry best, and the provider tends to keep slower proxies in the pool rather than filtering them out.
- Price-wise, Infatica compares well with its main competitors, scales well, and allows paying as you go. However, you won’t really be able to top up traffic without refreshing the whole plan.
- The user experience can be unconventional at times. We liked Infatica’s dashboard wallet feature, disliked the plan management tools, and found its generation of proxy lists interesting. A KYC is always necessary and must be completed before using proxies.
- All in all, we consider Infatica a solid choice for proxy servers.

Infatica is a Singapore-based proxy provider established in early 2019. It initially sold premium residential proxies but has since expanded to all major proxy types and web scraping APIs. Despite having several headquarters around the world, Infatica’s owners and a large part of the staff are of Eastern European origin.
The provider’s main target is businesses: primarily small to medium, but lately Infatica has been moving toward enterprise clients. Among the use cases, you’ll find usual suspects like web scraping, ad verification, social media automation, and business intelligence.
As a business-oriented provider, Infatica tries hard to present itself as a legitimate service. Its approach is laid out in the provider’s ethical code that mentions GDPR compliance, activity monitoring, and IP sourcing practices. It’s also achieved as many as four ISO certifications, which basically assures that your information will be safe.
Infatica is straightforward about how it gets and governs proxies. It injects an SDK into (mostly Windows) apps and borrows traffic from the people who install them. In return, devs get an unintrusive monetization method to replace ads and other annoyances. Infatica once caught heat for putting the SDK into Chrome extensions and has reduced reliance on this avenue.
All in all, Infatica is a standard mid-sized proxy server company. There’s nothing particularly unique about it, but that’s not necessary a bad thing.
Infatica Proxy Networks
Infatica sells all four types of proxy servers: residential, ISP (or static residential), datacenter, and mobile. Use the tabs to learn about their features, pricing, and performance in more detail.
🏠 Residential Proxies
A large network of IPs borrowed from people’s devices. This is Infatica’s flagship product, and it comes in two variations: the regular pool and IPv6-only proxies.
- Advertised pool: 35M IPs
- Countries: 195+ with city, ISP, ZIP targeting
- Rotation: Every request, 5-60 min sessions
- Starts from: $4 for 1 GB. Pay as you go available
- Advertised proxy pool: 35 million IPs
- Countries: 150+
- Integration method: Gateway address (gateways in East Coast US, NL, JP)
- Filtering
- Random: ✅
- Country: ✅
- City: ✅
- ASN/ISP: ✅
- Other: Continent, state, ZIP code, IP protocol (separate subscription needed)
- Rotation
- Every request: ✅
- Sticky sessions: ✅ (5-60 min pre-sets)
- Session behavior: New IP after disconnect, ability to establish strict sessions, rotate sessions manually
- Protocols
- HTTP: ✅
- HTTPS: ✅
- SOCKS5: ✅ (TCP only)
- Authentication
- Credentials: ✅
- IP whitelist: ✅
- Sub-users: ✅
- Concurrency: Unlimited threads & ports
- Traffic: Plan based
Infatica is relatively modest in advertising claims: 35 million IPs are much less compared to Bright Data’s 400 or Oxylabs’ 175 million proxies. That doesn’t inhibit Infatica from providing global country coverage and precise filtering options, including city, ASN, and ZIP code. As a bonus, you can combine most filters together.
Infatica’s residential proxies use gateway servers which stand between you and the proxy device. There are gateways in the US, Asia, and Europe; you can target them individually, but that’s optional because Infatica manages the routing automatically.
The residential proxies can rotate with every connection request or establish sticky sessions. The session length ranges between five and 60 minutes – or you can create a sticky session without a rotation interval. In addition, Infatica lets you choose what happens if it can’t find a proxy peer: rotate to a new IP instantly, wait for five seconds, or keep trying.
Traffic aside, the service is pretty much unlimited. However, it offers restricted SOCKS5 support with only TCP traffic.
- Model: PAYG, subscription (monthly, yearly plans)
- Format: Traffic
- Modifiers: IPv6 IPs
- Starting price: $4 for 1 GB
- Trial: $7 for 7 days
Infatica lets you use its proxy network without commitment, or you can subscribe to a plan – the cheapest starts from $96. Larger plans offer increasingly better rates, which you can further improve by 20% with a yearly contract.
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to top up a plan. When traffic runs out, the system will automatically renew the current plan if you’ve set up a payment method.
Infatica’s rates beat most enterprise providers and remain slightly more expensive compared to mid-market providers like Decodo. They tend to scale well past 500 GB of traffic.
We last tested Infatica’s residential proxies in April 2026, for our annual proxy market report.

Comparison with other providers
We found Infatica’s proxy network to be above average in size, at least when using it without any location filters. It was dominated by countries like Russia, Brazil, and China – this is the reason why Infatica punched below its weight in our individual country benchmarks.
Infrastructure success rate
Requests: Same as the pool test

Comparison with other providers
6 KB page size, average response time
In the same way, Infatica’s residential proxies were among the slower ones we’ve tried. A half of our requests completed reasonably fast, but there was a long tail of connections taking up to ten seconds to open a six kilobyte page. The provider should consider implementing stricter screening for its nodes.
- Using proxy lists: IP:Port 1, IP:Port 2…
- Using the proxy API
- Basic request: USERNAME:[email protected]:10000
- Using filters: USERNAME_c_US_city_New-York_asn_12271:[email protected]:10000
- Establishing sessions: USERNAME_s_ID_ttl_30s:[email protected]:10000
You can connect to Infatica’s residential proxies in two ways:
- By generating lists. This way, you select parameters on the dashboard and Infatica creates a namable list. It includes one IP address, a custom username, and 1,000 ports representing different proxies. It’s possible to generate up to 20 lists per plan.
- By using the API tool. This is a more standard approach where you customize the pool by adding parameters to the username.
The second option seems easier to manage, as your choices transparently reflect in the credentials. On the downside, it produces more limited usage statistics and only works with a username and password.
📱 Mobile Proxies
Mobile proxies are Infatica’s premium product for the toughest targets or specialized use cases. This is a peer-to-peer network, meaning that it uses real mobile devices.
Usually, such services include only carrier IPs. But as Infatica warns us, it’s a mix of mobile and Wi-Fi networks:
- Advertised pool: 5M IPs
- Countries: 100+ with city, ISP, ZIP targeting
- Rotation: Every request, 5-60 min sessions
- Starts from: $8 for 1 GB. Pay as you go available
- Advertised proxy pool: 5 million IPs
- Countries: 100+
- Integration method: Gateway address (gateways in CA, DE, SG)
- Filtering
- Random: ✅
- Country: ✅
- City: ✅
- ASN/ISP: ✅
- Other: Continent, state, ZIP code
- Rotation
- Every request: ✅
- Sticky sessions: ✅ (5-60 min pre-sets)
- Session behavior: New IP after disconnect, ability to establish strict sessions, rotate sessions manually
- Protocols
- HTTP: ✅
- HTTPS: ✅
- SOCKS5: ✅ (TCP only)
- Authentication
- Credentials: ✅
- IP whitelist: ✅
- Sub-users: ✅
- Concurrency: Unlimited threads & ports
- Traffic: Plan based
- Model: PAYG, subscription (monthly, yearly plans)
- Format: Traffic
- Modifiers: –
- Starting price: $8 for 1 GB
- Trial: $8 for 7 days
Infatica’s mobile proxy network can come with a subscription but doesn’t have to. Of course, committing gets you better rates and the ability to decrease them 20% further with a yearly plan.
If that sounds good, the cheapest package starts from $45 ($7.5/GB). The public plans only reach 200 GB, so you’ll have to contact Infatica directly if you have bigger requirements.
Compared to the competition, Infatica costs a similar amount to mid-market providers and a fair bit less than premium competitors like Bright Data.

Infatica’s gateway servers for mobile proxies are located in the US, Asia, and Europe. You can choose a particular gateway or leave routing to the system.
There are two ways to use these proxies. One relies on the dashboard widget to set up filters. It then generates lists of up to 1,000 proxies with one IP address and different ports. It’s possible to have 20 lists saved.
The second options makes use of Infatica’s API tool. This is a more standard approach where you add parameters to the username. It doesn’t support IP whitelisting while the lists do.
🏢 Datacenter Proxies
These are proxies from various cloud server providers. Infatica offers them in two formats: dedicated IP lists or a pool with 500,000 proxies. From what we know, the latter is acquired from other users rather than directly data centers.
- Formats: Pool with 500k IPs, dedicated list
- Countries: Up to 100 with city & ZIP targeting for the rotating pool
- Rotation: Available for the rotating pool
- Starts from: $13.50 for 30 GB ($0.45/GB) or $14 for 5 IPs ($1.45/IP)

🏠🏢 ISP (Static Residential) Proxies
These are also server IPs, but they’re associated with residential internet service providers. Infatica sells them in dedicated IP lists.
- Formats: Dedicated list
- Countries: 23 in four continents
- Rotation: Static
- Starts from: $3 for 1 IP

How to Use Infatica
Registration
To register with Infatica, you’ll have to complete a registration form. This involves entering a name and surname, country, email address, and password. You can optionally add your WhatsApp or Telegram acccount.
Alternatively, it’s possible to register using a Google account.
KYC and Usage Policies
The first purchase is tied to identity verification, which requires sending an ID and selfie to a company called Veriff. For some products, like Infatica’s ISP and datacenter proxies, you can’t even see the plans without verifying first. We find this baffling.
The provider gives no information about which websites or ports it blocks, so you’ll have to go in blind or ask.
Dashboard
Infatica has a dashboard for managing subscriptions and access to products. It’s available in English only.
Infatica’s dashboard is a competent panel with the all necessary features. But it’s also not the most convenient one.
For example, each product gets a different tab. But instead of being a hub for that product, it only lets you buy a plan. Then, no matter what you bought, you have to visit the Services tab and reach your plan through there.
This make sense but also confuses and wastes space. In a similar way, clicking on Infatica’s logo leads you to the website’s home page. Why?
However, these are minor annoyances that require some time getting used to.
It’s possible to buy a plan using two methods. One is to pay directly. The second is to add money to Infatica’s wallet and then get a plan. The latter option allows paying with crypto and reduces the number of transactions needed if you add more funds in advance.
You can save your contact details and the preferred payment method in the settings. The invoices are located on a separate page. They include the payment status and transaction details.
Platform access
Infatica has built several access management tools, including two-factor authentication and permissioned team members. The latter include resource sharing where you can give access to specific products or proxy lists including separate usage statistics.
Proxy access
The proxy setup has its own quirks. To reach the right page, you need to go through the My Services tab and find your active plan. There, you’ll find a widget for proxy setup that generates endpoint:port lists based on your parameters.
The flow involves naming the list, choosing an authentication method, selecting a location pre-set or a custom location, specifying the rotation interval, and finally the output format. The system then generates a list of 1,000 endpoints that you can copy-paste to your software. It’s possible to create multiple lists this way.
Alternatively, Infatica provides an instructions page for its API tool.
Infatica has two tools to track proxy usage. The first is a graph that shows how much traffic you’ve expended in total for the plan, and how much remains. The second graph shows your traffic expenditure throughout the day, week, or month.
You can also view traffic use for a particular proxy list. The option isn’t easy to find, but it’s there.
Currently, there’s no way to select a custom period or get any other metrics, such as success rate or request count. Providers like Bright Data have Infatica beat in this regard.
Public API
Infatica provides a public API for interacting with the system programmatically. Currently, it’s able to retrieve information about traffic usage, active locations, and available ISPs.
Documentation
If you ever find yourself at a loss, the provider has a documentation hub to help you. It’s mostly concerned with walking through the purchase and setup flows of Infatica’s different products. Otherwise, the hub includes several integration guides and static code samples. The latter would fit better in the dashboard’s proxy setup page.
Hands-On Support
Infatica’s live chat support works 24/7 and with an SLA-mandated response time of four hours. We had fast and satisfactory experiences with it. Alternatively, you can create a ticket for lengthier interactions.
Conclusion
Infatica leaves the impression of a competent business. It has the markings of a premium provider with responsive customer service, performant proxies, and ethical aspirations.
Though it managed to catch up on features with the market leaders, Infatica still has a hard time matching them in user experience or proxy network size. Looking at the trajectory, the provider is getting there.
All things considered, it’s hard for me to pinpoint something unique about Infatica, especially with companies like SOAX offering very similar services. But maybe there’s no need to? The promise of competitive prices and a different but similarly performant proxy pool may have enough appeal for quite a few businesses.
Infatica Alternatives
Oxylabs offers similar features with a larger proxy pool and better performance. Pay-as-you-go is another bonus, though the overall rates are higher.
Bright Data is another strong option with a host of features and second-to-none proxy management tools. But once again – mind the price.
SOAX is the most similar provider to Infatica of the bunch. Same rotation and targeting options, very similar entry fee, strong overall performance.
