Byteful, formerly known as Ping Proxies, is a proxy provider based in the United Kingdom and operating since 2020. The platform sells ethically sourced residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile proxy infrastructure designed for web scraping, AI agents and high-trust automation with global coverage and ultra-fast speeds.
Network and pool size
Byteful advertises 35M+ IPs across 195 countries. Residential is the headline pool complemented by ISP, datacenter and mobile. The AI-agent positioning and the global coverage on residential are the main differentiators versus older dedicated-IP vendors.
Pricing and plans
Residential and mobile traffic is priced per gigabyte across monthly commitments, with entry pricing around $2.75 per gigabyte on larger bundles. ISP and datacenter are sold per IP per month. Pricing skews toward committed bandwidth rather than pay-as-you-go.
Where Byteful fits
Byteful is positioned for ethically sourced residential proxies and high-speed static ISP proxies for web scraping and AI agents. The combination of a residential pool and a fast ISP menu is a natural fit for buyers running AI training pipelines and high-throughput scraping jobs.
Reputation and support
Independent review scores center on Trustpilot at 4.5, with no public G2 or Capterra rating to cross-check. User feedback consistently highlights fast speeds, stable connections and exceptional customer support, particularly on Discord. The brand change from Ping Proxies is recent, but the underlying service is established.
What to watch for
Residential and ISP pricing assumes committed monthly bandwidth, so smaller buyers will see a higher effective rate than the headline. AI-agent workloads can be bandwidth-heavy; confirm the success rate and latency on your destinations with a paid trial before scaling up.
