NetNut proxies route web traffic through roughly 52 million IPs obtained via direct ISP partnerships. This ISP-first sourcing makes netnut.io a static-session alternative to KnoxProxy's peer-to-peer residential network. KnoxProxy prices rotating residential traffic per successful gigabyte, built for high-volume scraping rather than long-held identity. NetNut residential proxies lean on long ISP connections instead, built for sessions that need one identity to hold steady for hours. Both networks solve real problems -- the right pick depends on whether a job needs rotation and price, or stability and static sessions, more.
KnoxProxy wins on rotating residential price, self-serve access, and billing fairness across 195+ countries. NetNut wins on static ISP proxy depth and connection stability for workloads that need one IP to hold steady for hours. Choose KnoxProxy for cost-efficient rotating scraping you can set up yourself in minutes. Choose a NetNut proxy plan when IP persistence and direct ISP peering matter more than per-GB price.

Provider marketing sells the biggest number on the page. Buyers should buy the smallest one that matters: cost per successful request on their own targets. List price, billing rules, success rate, and how much of the product your tier actually unlocks all feed it.
A rigged table is worthless to a buyer and obvious to a reviewer.
Pool size and pool quality are different axes. A large pool of recycled, previously flagged addresses can lose to a smaller, well-maintained one on your actual targets. Compare the numbers below, then verify with your own benchmark -- ask about IP hygiene, not headcount.
Score both finalists on all five, weight by what your program values, and the winner is usually obvious -- and defensible to whoever signs off.
The protocol is identical -- host, port, credentials. The migration isn't hard; the discipline is running both in parallel long enough to trust the numbers on your real workload.
If your workload depends on NetNut's static ISP IPs, KnoxProxy's rotating network is not a direct swap. Migrate only the rotating-traffic parts where price matters more than IP persistence.
Point new or low-risk workloads at KnoxProxy's gateway while NetNut keeps serving existing sessions. This avoids a hard cutover that could break active, long-held sessions mid-run.
Rebuild your cost model around 2xx-only billing instead of total-bandwidth billing. Retry logic built for failed requests may no longer be cost-relevant.
Keep NetNut active until KnoxProxy handles a full day of production traffic without failed sessions. Then redirect the remaining workloads and decommission the NetNut integration.
For rotating residential, yes. NetNut runs about $4.00/GB versus KnoxProxy's $2.10/GB, dropping to $1.10/GB at volume. That premium reflects NetNut's ISP-sourced, static-proxy-first network, direct ISP peering, and lower latency on long-held sessions -- a genuinely different product built for stability, not a direct one-to-one swap for rotating traffic.
Peer-to-peer residential, like KnoxProxy's network, routes traffic through real consumer devices that opted in to share bandwidth. ISP proxies, like NetNut's, come from direct ISP partnerships instead, with no P2P routing at all -- typically steadier uptime and lower latency on long-held sessions, usually at a meaningfully higher per-GB price.
Yes -- KnoxProxy sells static ISP proxies from $2.90/IP with unlimited bandwidth, priced per address instead of per gigabyte. The real difference is sourcing and depth: NetNut's ISP network runs on direct partnerships with no P2P routing at all, built as its flagship product for long, steady sessions.
NetNut, in most cases. Its direct ISP peering and static IPs are built specifically for holding one consistent identity over a long session, with lower latency than rotating traffic. The KnoxProxy residential network rotates by design instead, which works against multi-account or hours-long login flows needing one fixed IP.
NetNut lists volume-based plan tiers on its site rather than public coupon codes; larger commitments unlock lower per-GB rates through its sales team. KnoxProxy skips that negotiation entirely, with pay-as-you-go pricing starting at $2.10/GB and no coupon needed, dropping to $1.10/GB at volume.
Yes for multi-account work -- static ISP IPs hold a consistent identity per account longer than rotating proxies, with lower latency from direct ISP peering. For high-volume scraping across many targets, KnoxProxy's rotating residential network is usually the better fit at roughly half NetNut's per-GB price.
NetNut reports roughly 52 million IPs sourced via direct ISP deals, which tend to run lower latency on long, static sessions. KnoxProxy's peer-to-peer residential pool is larger at 90.4M and rotates by design, trading some per-connection latency for scale, city/ASN targeting, and a lower per-GB price.
Yes -- run KnoxProxy alongside NetNut for new or low-risk traffic first, since both use standard proxy protocols and nothing needs to go offline mid-migration. Migrate only the rotating-traffic parts where price matters more than static IP persistence. Once KnoxProxy handles a full day of production volume cleanly, shift the rest and retire the NetNut integration.
If your workload depends on NetNut's static ISP IPs, KnoxProxy's rotating network is not a direct swap. Migrate only the rotating-traffic parts where price matters more than IP persistence. Most teams run both providers in parallel for about a week, comparing per-target success, before cutting over fully.
Nothing beyond the gateway host and credentials changes -- the underlying proxy protocol (HTTP/S and SOCKS5) is the same, so your existing scraping code, retry logic, and session handling keep working as-is. Most teams simply point requests at gw.knoxproxy.com and run both providers in parallel for a few days before cutting over fully.
Yes. Enterprise plans include signed MSAs, standard invoicing, committed-use volume discounts, and a named account manager once usage passes 1 TB/mo. Below that threshold, every account still gets self-serve PAYG pricing, 2xx-only billing, and 24/7 live chat support, so enterprise-grade terms and everyday self-serve billing sit on the same platform.
