What you're comparing
ISP proxies are IPs registered to home internet providers but hosted on servers, combining residential trust with datacenter speed. Both Rayobyte and Geonode sell static ISP IPs with unmetered bandwidth; Rayobyte also sells a rotating ISP pool. See our ISP proxies guide for background.

Price
Geonode is cheaper per IP: a dedicated ISP IP from $3.50 against $5 at Rayobyte, and shared ISP from $1.75. Ten dedicated IPs cost about $35 at Geonode and $50 at Rayobyte. Geonode's 3-IP minimum also suits very small setups. At enterprise scale Rayobyte's floor of $0.95 per IP is low, but that requires a commitment. See Rayobyte vs Geonode pricing.
Locations
Rayobyte lists six countries for static ISP. Check Geonode's current ISP locations against the countries you need; for many buyers, location availability decides the matter.
Rotating ISP
Rayobyte's rotating ISP pool gives ISP-grade IPs from a gateway, billed per GB, which suits fast scraping on sites that accept ISP ranges. Geonode doesn't sell an equivalent. See Rayobyte rotating ISP proxies.
Residential tip: The simplest way to settle this comparison is to test both: Rayobyte has a free trial with no card, and Geonode sells a low-cost residential trial. Run the same targets through each. See Rayobyte static ISP proxies.
For accounts
Both work well with one IP per account. Geonode's direct integrations with antidetect browsers make setup slightly easier; Rayobyte's single-IP swap is handy when one account's IP gets flagged. See Rayobyte vs Geonode for social media and for antidetect browsers.
For sneakers
Both providers' ISP IPs are used for checkout. Test on your target sites; batch quality varies over time on every provider. Many cooks split their batch across providers. See Rayobyte vs Geonode for sneakers.
Which to choose
| If you need... | Choose |
|---|---|
| The lowest price per static ISP IP | Geonode |
| Shared ISP IPs on a budget | Geonode |
| A rotating ISP pool | Rayobyte |
| France or Italy ISP IPs | Rayobyte (check Geonode too) |
| Antidetect browser integrations | Geonode |
| Enterprise commitments at volume | Ask both |
Adding Webshare
Webshare's static residential (ISP) proxies are usually the cheapest of the three per IP. See ISP proxies across all three.
Proxy tip: If your residential usage comes in bursts, Geonode is worth a look: purchased GB doesn't expire and sticky sessions can last up to 24 hours. More in Geonode ISP proxies.
A real-world example
An e-commerce seller runs 12 marketplace accounts in the US and France. It buys 12 dedicated Geonode ISP IPs for the US accounts at about $3.50 each, then checks Geonode's current locations for France. When French availability doesn't fit, it buys 5 Rayobyte static ISP IPs in France (the 5-IP minimum, $25 a month). Each account keeps one IP, matched to its country, in its own antidetect profile.

Rayobyte, Geonode and Webshare are three options among many. Our best proxies in 2026 guide explains how to match a proxy type to each task, and cheap proxies that work shows where budget providers fit. To understand the IP type behind this, read our residential proxies guide.
Budget tip: For jobs where a fixed IP list is enough, Webshare is one of the cheapest options: shared datacenter proxies are sold by the IP, and static residential (ISP) proxies cost well under a dollar per IP per month at the time of writing. More in Webshare static residential proxies.
