Floppydata (floppydata.com) is a proxy provider operated by FLOPPYDATA FZCO, registered at Building A1, Digital Park, Dubai. It reports 12,000+ users and 1,000+ companies, and its homepage lists IPinfo and Aptoide among customer logos. The catalog splits into two shelves. “Proxy” covers the IPs: a rotating product plus static residential and static datacenter addresses. “Web Access” covers the tools that run on top: a Web Scraper and a managed Cloud Browser.

The rotating product is where Floppydata breaks from the rest of the market. Most vendors sell residential, mobile, and datacenter proxies as three separate plans at three price points. Floppydata sells gigabytes once, at $1 each, and lets you spend them as any of the three types and switch at any time. In practice a scraping job can start on datacenter routing, move to residential for the sites that block it, and send a few account checks through mobile carrier IPs, all against one balance. The network lists 1M+ residential IPs in 195+ countries, with targeting by country, state, city, ASN, and IP type over HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and UDP (beta).

Pricing is posted in full on the public site. Rotating traffic starts at 19 GB for $19, and every gigabyte costs the same $1.00 as you buy more. Static IPs no longer need a bundle: a single static IP costs $19 for a 4-month term. Static residential (ISP) IPs also come in monthly bundles of 20, 50, or 100 at $49, $99, and $179, and static datacenter IPs cost $19, $45, and $79 for the same bundle sizes, all with unlimited bandwidth. Checkout takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and 70+ cryptocurrencies, or you can pay from an account wallet that can be topped up and set to auto-renew.

What Floppydata does not publish is worth naming up front. We found no public IP-sourcing page explaining how residential and mobile peers join the network. The SOC 2, CCPA, and GDPR badges on the homepage aren’t linked to reports. We also found no stated auto-replacement policy for static IPs. Refunds are covered in Floppydata’s Terms of Service, so read that before a large order. None of this is unusual at this price, but compliance-sensitive buyers should ask support for paperwork before signing up.

Floppydata’s offering comes down to three proxy products and two web-access tools, all behind one account and one API key. The picture below comes from the public product pages and the v2 API samples, checked on October 6, 2026.

The Rotating Proxy is billed per gigabyte and covers three IP classes. Residential IPs are home connections assigned by ISPs. Mobile IPs come from 3G, 4G, LTE, and 5G carriers and sit behind carrier-grade NAT (a setup where thousands of real subscribers share one public address, which makes sites slow to ban it). Rotating datacenter IPs are the fast, cheap option for targets that don’t filter server ranges. Mobile IPs rotate on a carrier interval and can also be changed on demand.

The Static Residential Proxy, which Floppydata also calls ISP, is a fixed address registered to an internet provider but hosted on datacenter hardware. Sites see a home connection; you get server speed and the same IP for the whole subscription. The Static Datacenter Proxy is a dedicated rack IP that never changes. Sites can tell it isn’t residential, but it costs less than half as much and suits IP whitelisting and bulk collection. Both static lines are sold in bundles of 20, 50, or 100 with unlimited bandwidth.

The Web Scraper takes a URL and a country code in a single POST to /v2/web-data/fetch and returns the page HTML, with unblocking, rendering, and retries handled on Floppydata’s side. You pay only for pages that come back: $0.90 per 1,000 on the 10,000-request pack ($9) or $0.89 per 1,000 on the 100,000-request pack ($89). The site menu lists ready-made scrapers for Amazon, Zillow, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and grocery sites. The Cloud Browser is a managed anti-detect Chromium you drive over CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) with Playwright or Puppeteer. It has a UI mode for watching sessions live and costs nothing beyond the proxy traffic it sends.

Around the paid products sits a set of free tools: a proxy checker, a fingerprint and IP check, a website checker, a traffic calculator, a proxy selector, and a Chrome proxy extension. The API uses one X-Api-Key header for balances, proxy connections, Web Data requests, and the Cloud Browser, with code samples in cURL, Python, Node.js, PHP, Go, Java, and C#.

Floppydata prices in three ways, and each number is printed on the public site. That alone puts it ahead of the vendors that hide rates behind a sales form.

Rotating traffic costs a flat $1.00 per GB, starting at 19 GB for $19. The flat line means a small test costs the same per gigabyte as a production order, so you never overbuy to reach a better tier. It also means there’s no reward for volume.

Static IPs start with a single address for $19 on a 4-month term, so you no longer need to buy 20 to get one. On bundles, static residential (ISP) IPs work out to $2.45 each on the 20-IP bundle ($49), $1.98 each on 50 ($99, 19% off), and $1.79 each on 100 ($179, 27% off). Static datacenter IPs follow the same shape at lower prices: $0.95 each on 20 ($19), $0.90 on 50 ($45), and $0.79 on 100 ($79). Every static IP includes unlimited bandwidth, which changes the math for heavy jobs. Past roughly 80 GB a month on targets that accept datacenter ranges, a 100-IP static bundle at $79 costs less than the same traffic bought by the gigabyte.

The Web Scraper costs $0.90 per 1,000 successful scrapes on the 10,000-request pack ($9) and $0.89 per 1,000 on the 100,000-request pack ($89), and you only pay for requests that succeed. The Cloud Browser is free for anyone with proxy traffic. Payment covers Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and 70+ cryptocurrencies, plus an account wallet you can top up and set to auto-renew.

We benchmarked Floppydata with the same standardized method we apply to every provider on ProxyAdvice.net: 100 requests at 20 concurrency with a 20-second timeout. All numbers below are measured, not marketing claims. We ran two kinds of test, a speed and reliability run and a real-target access run, and we report them separately because they measure different things.

The speed test on October 6 completed 92 of 100 requests. The other eight were connection errors; none were read errors, so every request that connected also finished. Among the successes, the fastest response was 248ms, the median 642ms, the average 892ms, the 95th percentile 1,487ms, and the slowest 2,987ms. The distribution leans hard to the fast side: 42% of requests fell in the quickest bucket around 248ms, 14% in the next around 416ms, and 10% around 584ms, followed by a long thin tail. That 250ms gap between median and average is the tail showing up.

The real-target run loads full pages on ten well-known sites with a browser user agent. On October 2 it reached 9 of 10: Google, Amazon, Cloudflare, Instagram, Reddit, Walmart, Nike, Ticketmaster, and Booking loaded cleanly, and TikTok returned a CAPTCHA. Full page loads took between 3,374ms (Reddit) and 6,142ms (Ticketmaster), averaging 4,432ms. We repeated the run on October 6 and all 10 targets loaded, TikTok included. That second run logged 97 of 100 requests successful, a 320ms median, a 620ms average, 20+ distinct exit IPs, and an Elite anonymity rating on header inspection. The summary grade was A, 92/100.

Floppydata’s own published figures are an average response under 0.3 seconds, 99.99% uptime, and a 95% clean-IP rate. Our 320ms median on the best run is close to the first claim. Our 92% and 97% success rates sit on either side of the third.

Pool size is not one of them. These are the six places where Floppydata does something different enough to affect what you pay or how you build.

The advantages below are backed by our test data or by prices printed on the public site. The limitations are real, and each one is worth knowing before you spend.

Floppydata lists seven use cases on its site (brand protection, ad verification, traffic arbitrage, web scraping, SEO, price monitoring, and market research) plus a newer track for AI agents. Based on the product mix and our test data, these six are the strongest fits.

If your work depends on very deep residential pools in one city, or on audited sourcing paperwork, a larger network is the safer first choice. Our best residential proxies ranking, best mobile proxies ranking, and best datacenter proxies ranking show where Floppydata sits against those names.

Floppydata advertises 24/7 support through two channels: email at support@floppydata.com and a Telegram support line. General enquiries go to info@floppydata.com. A public status page lets you check for incidents before opening a ticket, which is the first place to look if you see connection errors like the eight in our speed test. There are also community channels on Telegram and X.

We did not time support responses for this review, so we can’t give you an average reply time. If support speed matters to your team, send a pre-sales question before you buy. Good ones to ask: how static IPs are replaced when one is blocked, how the residential pool is sourced, and what the expiring-GB rate is.

On the infrastructure side, account control runs through the dashboard and the v2 API at api.floppydata.net. The same key reads balances, returns proxy connection strings, and runs Web Data requests, so a pipeline can check its remaining gigabytes before a job starts. The site is available in nine languages, and Floppydata runs referral and reseller programs for buyers who bring in other customers.
