4G vs 5G Mobile Proxies
Both offer the trust benefits of mobile proxies. The difference is speed and cost.
TL;DR: 4G is sufficient for most use cases. 5G offers faster speeds but at a premium. For outreach, residential proxies are typically more cost-effective than either.
Speed Comparison
| Factor | 4G | 5G |
|---|---|---|
| Download | 10-50 Mbps | 50-300+ Mbps |
| Latency | 30-50ms | 10-30ms |
| Price | High | Higher |
When 5G Matters
- Speed-critical applications
- Real-time data needs
- When budget allows
When 4G Is Fine
- General automation
- Social media
- Account management
- Most outreach tasks
Our Recommendation
For outreach work, static residential proxies offer better value than mobile proxies. Only consider mobile when residential isn't sufficient for your specific needs.
