A Decodo (Smartproxy) Alternative for Proxy Workflows
Smartproxy is now Decodo. If you are considering a different provider, start with your proxy requirements: rotating or fixed IPs, locations, session controls, and the tools you already run.

Smartproxy Is Now Decodo
Decodo is the current name of Smartproxy. The rebrand itself does not mean you need a different provider. This comparison is for teams considering MiyaIP because their requirements, budget, or preferred workflow have changed.
Smartproxy → Decodo. Official announcement checked on 2026-09-26. Both names refer to the same provider in this comparison.
Keep Your Crawler or Choose a Managed Task
If you already run a crawler or browser client, compare proxy access first. If you use a managed scraping API, compare its request and output contract with MiyaIP Crawler API. Switching the network layer is a different project from changing how data is collected.
I use a scraping API
Evaluate a Decodo alternative by mapping one task to the MiyaIP interface and result contract.
- Interface and accepted inputs
- Task execution and retrieval
- Required output fields
Map the Settings Your Workflow Depends On
Record the current endpoint, authentication format, target location, and session settings. Recreate the required behavior using MiyaIP’s available configuration options. Keep the current provider available while you test the new route with the same client and targets.
| Current setting | MiyaIP configuration | Validation |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint and authentication | Generate new connection values in the console | Check the existing client can connect |
| Target location | Select the required available location | Compare with the actual exit location |
| Session and reconnect behavior | Select the available session policy | Check the IP after reconnecting |

Price the Workload You Will Run
Compare the amount of traffic or the number of fixed IPs your team actually needs. Include the purchase period and any plan limits. If you are moving to Crawler API, price a supported task separately instead of converting proxy gigabytes into API credits.
Proxy purchase
Record traffic or fixed-IP quantity, purchase period and plan limits.
Crawler task
Record a supported interface, accepted results, credits and plan commitment separately.
Frequently asked questions
Are Smartproxy and Decodo different providers?
No. Decodo is the new name of Smartproxy. We cover both names on this page so you can compare the current provider without treating the rebrand as a second service.
Do I need to switch because Smartproxy changed its name?
No. Decodo’s official announcement says the services continued under the new brand. Consider another provider based on your current requirements, not the name change alone.
Can I reuse my existing proxy client?
Check whether it accepts the protocol and credentials generated for your MiyaIP product. Connection settings can be evaluated independently, but provider-specific API calls and session parameters still need review.
Can MiyaIP replace Decodo’s scraping API?
Evaluate a specific task against MiyaIP’s current interface catalog and result format. Proxy compatibility by itself does not establish scraping API compatibility.
