What Decodo does

Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) is a Lithuania-headquartered provider of an AI-ready proxy and web scraping platform, founded in 2018 and operating from Vilnius. The company combines five proxy product lines — residential (115M+ IPs), ISP/static residential, mobile (10M+ IPs across 160+ locations), datacenter (500K+ IPs), and Site Unblocker — into a 125M+ IP network spanning 195+ countries, marketed primarily to AI/ML developers, eCommerce businesses, SEO and digital marketing agencies, social media managers, AdTech firms, and cybersecurity researchers. Reported scale includes 135K+ clients, 99.99% uptime, sub-0.2s average response times, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for proxies and scraping APIs.

The technology stack extends beyond raw proxy infrastructure into a unified Web Scraping API that consolidates eCommerce, SERP, and social media scraping with credit-based per-request pricing. Adjacent proprietary components include an AI Parser that converts raw HTML to structured JSON via natural language prompts, an MCP Server that exposes live web data to LLMs and AI agents through a standardized protocol, a Fast Search API for low-latency structured search results, and a Video Downloader for large-scale YouTube extraction used in AI dataset creation. The platform offers 100+ pre-built scraping templates, native integrations with LangChain, n8n, and OpenClaw, an AI Hub entry point, and browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. An active Discord server and public GitHub repository support a developer-first go-to-market motion.

Commercially, Decodo operates a product-led, self-serve model with usage-based pricing — residential proxies from $2/GB, ISP from $0.27/IP, mobile from $2.25/GB, datacenter from $0.02/IP, Site Unblocker from $0.95 per 1K requests, and Web Scraping API from $0.09 per 1K requests — alongside a free tier and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Enterprise contracts provide custom pricing, dedicated infrastructure, and white-glove support. Revenue is generated almost entirely through usage-based and subscription billing via the self-serve dashboard at dashboard.decodo.com, with no disclosed institutional funding, ARR, or ownership structure in the available sources. The company rebranded from Smartproxy to Decodo in 2025 to signal its expansion from proxy infrastructure into a broader AI data-access platform.
