Shared Mobile Proxies
A shared mobile proxy sells the same carrier IP pool to several customers at once, splitting the hardware cost between them — the exact inverse of a dedicated proxy, built for budget-sensitive jobs that can tolerate shared history.
- One IP pool, several customers at once — the same carrier addresses are sold concurrently rather than reserved for one buyer.
- Priced below dedicated because the hardware cost is split — you pay a fraction of what reserving a whole SIM would cost.
- The wrong choice when another tenant could burn the IP first — you don’t control what else runs through the same pool before your request does.
- Runs on the same PXM2 modem hardware as every connection type — shared is a billing model, not different infrastructure.
The carrier and hardware cost is split across everyone drawing from it.
Cheapest way onto real carrier IPs when the job can tolerate shared history.
What Makes a Mobile Proxy Shared
A shared mobile proxy is the exact inverse of a dedicated one. Instead of reserving one SIM and modem for a single customer, the same pool of carrier IPs is sold concurrently to several customers at once. The carrier subscription and the modem hardware behind it cost the same either way — sharing simply splits that fixed cost across more buyers, which is why a shared plan is priced below a dedicated one for otherwise identical hardware.
This is a billing and allocation model, not a different piece of infrastructure: the same 4G/5G modems and carrier connections underpin every connection type on this hub.
When Shared Is the Right Choice
Shared earns its place whenever the job is budget-sensitive and low-stakes: casual scraping, prototyping a scraper before committing to a paid tier, or testing that a target site even responds the way you expect. In all of these, the risk that another tenant's traffic has already touched the same address is an acceptable trade for the lower price — nothing about the job depends on the IP's history being clean.
When Shared Puts Your Job at Risk
Shared is the wrong choice the moment IP trust matters more than price. Ad verification, account management, and anything that depends on the target treating your traffic as legitimate are all exposed to the same problem: another tenant on the same pool may have already run abusive or high-volume traffic through that address, and the target can flag or block it before your own request ever arrives. You have no visibility into, or control over, what else is running through the pool.
A dedicated mobile proxy removes that risk entirely — nobody else's traffic ever touches an address reserved for you alone. If the job needs the target to trust the address, that page is the one to reach for instead of this one.
A useful test: if a flagged or blocked IP would derail the job, don't share the pool it comes from. If a flagged IP just means trying again later, sharing is a reasonable trade for the lower price.
Shared vs Dedicated: Cost and Trust
Both run on identical PXM2 carrier hardware, so the trade-off is entirely about who else can be allocated the address:
| Property | Shared | Dedicated |
|---|---|---|
| IP ownership | Pooled across several customers | One SIM, one customer, exclusively |
| Best for | Budget scraping, testing, low-stakes jobs | Logins, ad accounts, reputation continuity |
| Reputation risk | Inherited from co-tenants, outside your control | None — only your traffic touches the address |
| Cost | Lowest entry price in the cluster | Highest — you are paying for exclusivity |
The same logic that separates static from rotating applies here on a different axis: static and dedicated both trade cost for control over the address, while shared and rotating both trade some of that control back for a lower price.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a shared mobile proxy different from a rotating one?
They answer different questions. Rotating describes how one customer’s own IP changes over time; shared describes whether that IP is also being allocated to other customers. The two are independent — a shared pool can rotate or stay fixed, and a rotating proxy can be either exclusive to you or shared.
Can other customers on a shared IP see my traffic?
No — PXM2 isolates each customer’s sessions at the connection level. "Shared" describes which customers can be allocated addresses from the same carrier pool over time, not visibility into each other’s requests.
Will a shared IP already be blocked by the sites I want to reach?
Possibly — since other tenants have used the same pool before you, a target that saw abusive or high-volume traffic from a previous tenant may already have flagged the address. That inherited-reputation risk is exactly what a dedicated proxy removes, since nobody else ever touches that IP.
Is a shared mobile proxy actually cheaper than a dedicated one?
Yes, meaningfully. The carrier and hardware cost splits across every customer drawing from the pool rather than being reserved for one buyer, which is why shared sits at the budget end of the connection-type cluster.
What is the difference between shared and static mobile proxies?
Different axes entirely. Shared describes who else can be allocated the same pool of addresses; static describes whether the IP itself stays fixed for the life of the plan. The two can combine or not — a shared IP can rotate or stay put, independent of how many customers it is sold to.
