Massive

Massive (massive.io) is a US-based premium residential proxy provider founded in 2021, distinguished by its strictly consent-based IP sourcing model and enterprise-grade compliance posture. Where most residential providers rely on either app-bundled SDKs or peer networks, Massive operates a fully transparent participant program where contributors knowingly opt in and are compensated.

The pool is smaller than market leaders at 1M+ residential IPs, but every IP is verified, ethically sourced, and reputation-scored. For enterprise customers in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, legal research), Massive is often the only residential provider that passes vendor security reviews without months of compliance back-and-forth.

Pricing starts at $5 per GB with no minimum commitments, which is competitive against BrightData's residential tier while delivering meaningfully cleaner IP reputation. The platform supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5, with sticky session windows up to 30 minutes and country-level geo-targeting across 195 countries.

Massive's compliance documentation is the strongest in the industry — including SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, and a publicly available Acceptable Use Policy that explicitly prohibits scraping of personal data, sensitive industries, and grey-area targets. Enterprise customers receive dedicated compliance support and signed DPAs out of the box.

The API is straightforward with native SDKs for Python and Node.js, plus full proxy URL authentication for any HTTP client. The dashboard exposes per-target success rates, geographic distribution, and detailed billing analytics with no hidden fees or surprise overages.

For enterprise compliance teams, regulated-industry data collection, and any operation where IP cleanliness matters more than pool size, Massive is the most compliance-mature residential proxy on the market — though its smaller pool makes it less suitable for very high-volume crawling workloads.
