Proxy products and billing modelsOne traffic balance covers rotating residential and mobile proxies, reducing the need to purchase and monitor separate bandwidth packages.
Residential and mobile plans include IPv4 and IPv6 access, HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 protocols, location targeting, session controls, and the IP Quality Filter.
Static ISP proxies with unlimited traffic are purchased separately for 30- or 90-day terms.
Scraping Browser provides a managed browser environment for web scraping, browser automation, and AI-agent workflows.
ShadowMax sells rotating residential, mobile, static ISP, and dedicated datacenter IPv4 proxies.
Residential and mobile traffic is sold separately, while ISP and dedicated IPv4 proxies are purchased by IP and access period.
The public pricing page separates residential, ISP, and IPv4 plans, but it does not display a separate mobile pricing tab. Mobile prices appear on the mobile product page instead.
Proxy pool, IP quality, and performanceProvides access to 30M+ residential IPs and 250K+ mobile IPs.
A 99.54% average success rate, with speeds below 0.6 seconds.
The built-in IP Quality Filter removes many low-quality and high-risk addresses before they reach the customer’s proxy pool.
Users can prioritize clean IPs, speed, or maximum pool size from the dashboard.
Proxyway’s 2024 Proxy Market Research found that NodeMaven’s standard US pool produced the lowest average fraud score among the tested providers.
Independent ProxyDB testing recorded a 99.2% success rate, 0.42-second average latency, and 99.9% residential classification.
ShadowMax advertises 55M+ residential IPs across more than 195 countries, together with a provider-reported success rate above 99.5%.
Its mobile page advertises 250K+ mobile IPs, coverage in 195+ countries, and a success rate above 99.5%.
Its ISP page advertises 180K+ ISP IPs and the same 195+ country coverage and 99.5%+ success-rate claim.
Geographic targeting and IP configurationSupports country, state or region, city, and ISP targeting, depending on proxy type and availability.
Residential and mobile packages include IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
Users can select either a mixed IPv4/IPv6 pool or an IPv4-only configuration in the dashboard.
The same targeting and filtering controls can be applied to residential and mobile traffic.
Residential and mobile proxies advertise country, state or region, and city targeting across more than 195 countries.
ShadowMax also advertises coverage across more than 1,500 cities and response times below 100 milliseconds; both are provider-reported network figures.
The public product pages focus primarily on country, region, and city selection.
ShadowMax does not publish a clear IPv4/IPv6 selection process on the reviewed residential and mobile product pages, so buyers requiring IPv6 should confirm availability before purchasing.
Session control, rotation, and IP stabilitySticky residential and mobile sessions can remain active for up to 24 hours.
Users can choose rotating, sticky, or no-rotate behavior based on the workflow.
No-rotate mode sessions attempt to recover the same IP if it temporarily becomes unavailable instead of immediately replacing it.
Static ISP proxies keep one dedicated address for the purchased 30- or 90-day period.
ShadowMax supports rotating and sticky sessions on its residential and mobile proxy networks.
The product pages advertise “long-lasting” sticky IPs and unlimited simultaneous sessions but do not publish a specific maximum sticky-session duration.
An automatic refresh option can replace the current rotating address with a fresh IP.
Static ISP plans provide one consistent IP for the purchased access period and are positioned for account work and longer sessions.
Pricing, billing, and traffic validityThe entry monthly plan costs $8.50 for 2 GB of shared residential and mobile traffic.
A one-time trial costs $3.50 for 750 MB.
Published residential and mobile pricing reaches $2.20 per GB at higher volumes.
Pay-as-you-go traffic does not expire, while unused monthly traffic carries over when the subscription renews.
Customers can earn up to 10% cashback on used traffic, returned as bonus traffic.
There is no higher per-GB rate for difficult websites or premium domains.
Static ISP proxies start from $2.33/IP/30 days.
- ShadowMax’s central pricing page lists a 3 GB residential Starter package at “$6.99/GB” while also displaying “$6.99/60 days.” It lists 5 GB for $34.50, 10 GB for $68, and 25 GB for $165, each with a 60-day term.
- The same page lists 50 GB for $325, 100 GB for $640, and 250 GB for $1,550, with “traffic never expires” shown for these larger packages.
