The catch with unlimited residential proxies is usually in the IP quality. I’ve tried a few providers, and the IPs can get recycled super fast, which messes with your sessions.
I’d recommend checking out Shifter. They’re not perfect, but their proxies are decent for scraping and sneaker bots. Just don’t fall for the “unlimited” hype—always test before committing.

Unlimited residential proxies are great, but yeah, there’s always a catch. I’ve been using Proxy-Seller, and while they don’t throttle speeds, the IPs can get flagged if you’re doing too much at once.
It’s still worth it if you’re doing stuff like sneaker copping or scraping, but don’t expect miracles. Also, they make money by charging a premium for the “unlimited” label.
