Here is the side-by-side, its 2026 residential pricing, who should stay, and how to switch. **Quick answer — Is there a Decodo (Smartproxy) alternative with no KYC that takes crypto?** **Nameless Proxy is a Decodo alternative with no KYC, paid in crypto**, with residential proxies from $0.53/GB. As of October 2026, Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) charges $4/GB pay as you go and $2.75/GB on its 100 GB monthly plan, and its usage policy describes an automatic check at registration, with third-party ID verification for users it flags. Nameless Proxy has no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Pay in crypto and log in with a 16-digit account number. ## Key facts (as of October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Decodo KYC | Automatic check at registration; third-party ID verification for flagged users | | Decodo residential | $4/GB pay as you go (1 GB); monthly plans $3.75/GB (3 GB) → $2.75/GB (100 GB); enterprise down to $2.00/GB (1 TB) | | Decodo payment | Cards and crypto (coin list: check site) | | Decodo trial | 3 days with 100 MB; 14-day money-back | | Nameless Proxy KYC | None — no ID, no selfie, no documents | | Login and payment | 16-digit account number · crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) · prepaid balance, minimum top-up $25 | | Nameless Proxy residential | $1.88 for 1 GB → $0.53/GB on the 1 TB pack · traffic never expires | ## Is Decodo the same as Smartproxy? Yes. Decodo is the current name of the provider formerly called Smartproxy. Its product and pricing pages are on decodo.com, while Proxyway's review still sits at a URL with the old name. So a search for Smartproxy alternatives and a search for Decodo alternatives lead to the same comparison: this one. ## Does Decodo require KYC? It can, and you cannot know in advance. As of October 2026, Decodo's ethical sourcing and usage page describes an automatic check when you register, with third-party ID verification for users its system flags. Proxyway's review sums up the rule as KYC "required for some customers". Nameless Proxy asks for no ID at any spend level, for any product or coin. Rules are enforced with an [Acceptable Use Policy](https://namelessproxy.com/acceptable-use/), blocked target categories and an [abuse desk](https://namelessproxy.com/abuse/) instead of identity files. Every provider's rule, with sources: [Proxy KYC Index 2026](https://namelessproxy.com/data/proxy-kyc-index-2026/). ## Decodo vs Nameless Proxy, side by side | | Decodo | Nameless Proxy | | --- | --- | --- | | KYC | Automatic check at registration; ID verification if flagged | None | | Payment | Cards and crypto (coins: check site) | Crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) | | Residential, smallest | $4/GB pay as you go (1 GB) | $1.88 for 1 GB ($1.88/GB) | | Residential, 100 GB | $2.75/GB on a monthly plan | $75 once ($0.75/GB) | | Residential, 1 TB | $2.00/GB (enterprise) | $530 once ($0.53/GB) | | Billing | Pay as you go or monthly plans | Prepaid balance, minimum top-up $25; one-off packs; traffic never expires | | Targeting | Continent, country, state, city, ZIP, ASN | Country, city | | Protocols | HTTP(S), SOCKS5 | HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 | | Mobile | Per GB: $4 pay as you go; $3.75 → $2.75/GB on monthly plans | Dedicated 4G/5G ports from $2.63/day; rotating from $1.50/GB | | Trial and refunds | 3-day trial with 100 MB; 14-day money-back | No free trial; full refund within 24 hours of purchase if less than 100 MB of the pack was used; a dedicated port that cannot deliver a working IP is refunded in full | | Independent test | Proxyway US test (March 2026): 99.82 % success, 0.60 s | Not tested by a third party | *Prices checked on October 5, 2026.* Decodo pricing, mobile and usage-policy pages checked 5 October 2026.

Teams that need targeting below city level (state, ZIP or ASN), card payment, a free trial, or measured performance. In Proxyway's US test, published in March 2026, Decodo reached a 99.82 % success rate with a 0.60 s response time across 466,068 unique US IPs, and Proxyway's best residential proxies list, updated on 1 October 2026, names it first. If your account has never been flagged and you need those features, switching brings less. ## What are the limits of Nameless Proxy? We have no third-party benchmark, and we will not invent one. There is no free trial, no state, ZIP or ASN targeting, and no card payment. City stock in small countries varies; the dashboard shows it before you buy. Our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://namelessproxy.com/acceptable-use/) blocks banking, government and payment portals and SMTP. ## What changes in your code? Only the proxy URL: host, port, username and password. Targeting and sessions go in our username, `USERNAME-country-{cc}-city-{city}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}`. Without a session ID each new connection gets a new IP; with one, the exit stays the same for up to 60 minutes. More in the [Python proxy guide](https://namelessproxy.com/guides/python-proxies/). *Python requests, UAE exit, sticky for 10 minutes* ```python import requests proxy = "http://USERNAME-country-ae-session-d3c0-ttl-10:PASSWORD@gw.namelessproxy.com:7777" r = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30) print(r.json()) ``` ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Decodo accept crypto? Yes. As of October 2026, Decodo accepts crypto for its products except ISP and datacenter pay-per-IP plans, and its help centre explains crypto payments. Paying in crypto does not skip its registration check. Nameless Proxy takes crypto only, Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), with no KYC for any coin; see [buy proxies with crypto](https://namelessproxy.com/crypto-proxies/). ### Does Decodo offer a free trial? Yes. As of October 2026, Decodo lists a 3-day trial with 100 MB of residential traffic and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Continent, state, ZIP-code and ASN targeting. Decodo's pricing page lists targeting from continent down to ZIP and ASN; Nameless Proxy targets by country and city, set in the username. You keep HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, rotating or sticky sessions for up to 60 minutes, and IP whitelisting. If one network matters, a dedicated [4G/5G port](https://namelessproxy.com/mobile-proxies/) lets you choose the carrier. ### Is Nameless Proxy cheaper than Decodo?
