Monthly bandwidth credits expire — no rollover

high overage

Unused bandwidth from purchased monthly plans expires at the end of each billing cycle with no rollover to the next month. Users who over-purchase or underuse their plan lose the remaining value entirely.

Refunds issued as locked internal wallet credits, not to original payment method

critical support

When users request refunds — including for defective services — Smartproxy/Decodo issues credits to an internal 'Decodo Wallet Balance' instead of returning funds to the original payment method. The Compliance Team has been reported to formally reject appeals to reverse this, trapping customer funds on-platform.

I requested a refund, which the team agreed to, but instead of sending the money back to my bank account, they transferred it into an internal "Decodo Wallet Balance."When I asked to have my actual cash returned to my original payment method, the Compliance Team (Ticket reference: Paul) formally rejected my appeal and locked my funds inside their platform against my will.

trustpilot

Before these guys, I bought a small package and it seemed okay. Then I bought the large package, but I only used 100 MB and asked for a refund. I hadn't even used 1% of the package, and I asked for a refund just 10 minutes later. But these scammers didn't give me a refund.

6

KYC verification can block service access after payment with no refund

high compliance

Some purchasers report completing KYC and payment only to be denied service access, with refunds also refused. Large purchases may trigger additional verification that prevents usage entirely.

trustpilot

Scam involving a proxy service: You complete KYC, deposit money, but then they tell you that you can't use their services—and they won't refund your money either.

trustpilot

Totally scam, i buy 250gb but need verification again, lol. Product can't use.

7

Auto-renewal cannot be cancelled; payment card cannot be removed

high addon

Users report being unable to disable automatic subscription renewal or remove stored payment card details from the account dashboard, creating ongoing exposure to recurring charges.

trustpilot

Cannot cancel automatic renewal, cannot remove payment card, refund of service does not return money. I do not recommend the service

8

ISP proxy plans may deliver datacenter-quality IPs with high fraud scores

high addon

Multiple users purchasing dedicated ISP proxy plans report receiving IPs that behave identically to datacenter proxies, with fraud scores reported as high as 90%. This renders them unsuitable for use cases requiring genuine ISP traffic (e.g. social media, Google accounts). Refund requests in these cases have reportedly been denied.

trustpilot

I purchased 3 ISP IPs from this website, but according to my tests, all 3 appeared to be datacenter IPs rather than genuine ISP IPs. 2 of them also showed fraud scores as high as 90%.

trustpilot

They sell normal proxies as ISPs, it all doesnt work and is all the same.

9

Unexpected $1 charge on advertised free trial

low addon

Users signing up for the 100 MB proxy trial — advertised as $0 — report a $1 charge applied to their card. Customer support responses were slow and the charge remained unresolved after five or more days.

trustpilot

I signed up for Decodo’s 100 MB proxy trial, which was advertised as **$0**. After adding my credit card, I noticed that **$1 was charged**.
