The question we get most is "should I buy Standard or a dedicated IP". The answer hinges on one thing: does your use care whose IP it is and whether it changes. Video, browsing and research are fine on a shared exit; store back-ends, social and ad accounts, and server allow-lists need a dedicated IP. Here are the two sets of rules side by side.
In one sentence each
- Shared exit (Standard): we run exits in US cities across several states and all Standard users share them. You pick a city in the app and the IP changes with the city. Three tiers differ by devices online, bandwidth and monthly data, from $5.99.
- Dedicated IP: one US IPv4 that is yours alone, with its own data, bandwidth, expiry date and auto-renew. Two kinds: datacenter (from $9.99, static) and residential (from $29.99, static or dynamic). No Standard plan required.
Item by item
Consistent with the comparison table on the pricing page.
| Shared exit (Standard) | Dedicated IP (datacenter / residential) | |
|---|---|---|
| Whose IP | Shared with other users | Yours alone |
| Fixed? | No, it changes with the city | Static never changes; dynamic residential rotates daily |
| Pick an IP | No, just switch city | Static only, $4.99 each, chosen within 7 days of payment |
| Change IP | Switch city, free | $1.99 random, $4.99 hand-picked; dynamic rotates by itself |
| Devices at once | 3 / 5 / 8, by tier | 2 per IP |
| Bandwidth | 50M / 100M / 200M, by tier | 50M / 100M / 300M / 1000M, four tiers |
| Data | Monthly data by tier; capped at 1M when used up | Each IP has its own monthly data; pauses when used up, a data pack restores it |
| After expiry | Service stops; renew to resume | IP held for 3 days; renew to keep it |
| Monthly price | From $5.99 | Datacenter from $9.99, residential from $29.99 |
What a dedicated IP is for
- Store back-ends and seller accounts: one store per IP, static residential. See cross-border e-commerce IPs.
- Social and ad accounts: TikTok US, Meta and Google ad managers, one account per IP. See social and ad account IPs.
- Server allow-lists, remote desktops, tools: only a fixed IP is needed, so datacenter is the cheaper choice.
- Several stores or accounts: buy one IP per store or account and use each separately; volume discounts apply in one order: 3% off from 5, 5% off from 20, 8% off from 50.
You can use both
Standard and dedicated IPs are separate products with separate expiry dates and data. Buy both on one account and each device picks its own in the app: the phone on a city exit for video, the computer on a dedicated IP for a back-end, with no effect on each other. A dedicated IP doesn't require Standard, and Standard expiring doesn't touch your dedicated IPs.
Not sure yet? Sign up for the 3-day Standard trial and get to know the app and the lines first. Dedicated IPs activate right after payment and are non-refundable, so settle the use case before buying.
