NetNut offers a large proxy network with over 85 million residential IPs and 5 million mobile IPs across 100+ countries, claiming support for 3G, 4G, 5G, and LTE connections. However, their mobile proxy sourcing method is not clearly documented, and accessing even a trial requires KYC verification that is limited to businesses only. With a minimum monthly spend of approximately $84 and per-GB pricing up to $7.60, NetNut is positioned squarely as an enterprise solution. Baltic Proxy offers a more accessible path to genuine 5G mobile proxies — real carrier SIMs on dedicated hardware in Riga, Latvia, with 80+ Mbit/s speeds, no KYC requirements, and flexible daily, weekly, or monthly plans that individual users and businesses alike can start using in minutes.

Where NetNut Falls Short
NetNut's most significant barrier to entry is their KYC (Know Your Customer) verification requirement. Even to access a trial, you must complete identity verification, and this process is restricted to businesses only. Individual users, freelancers, and small teams without formal business registration are effectively locked out. This makes NetNut inaccessible to a large portion of the proxy market that needs mobile proxies for legitimate personal or small-scale professional use.
The pricing structure compounds the accessibility problem. NetNut charges between $3.82 and $7.60 per gigabyte for mobile proxies, with a minimum monthly spend of approximately $84. For data-intensive tasks like media uploads, video content, or large-scale web scraping, these per-GB costs escalate rapidly. The wide pricing range also suggests that favorable rates require higher commitments, further pushing the service toward enterprise budgets.
Transparency is another concern. NetNut does not clearly document how their 5 million mobile IPs are sourced — whether through dedicated hardware, peer networks, or ISP partnerships. Their protocol support is also not explicitly listed on their website, which is unusual for a proxy provider. When you cannot verify the technical specifications before committing money and completing KYC, you are taking a significant leap of faith. Baltic Proxy provides full transparency: real 5G carrier SIMs, dedicated hardware, HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 support, and 80+ Mbit/s speeds — all verifiable before purchase.
Why Baltic Proxy Is a Better Alternative
Baltic Proxy operates dedicated 5G mobile proxy infrastructure in Riga, Latvia, delivering carrier-grade mobile IPs with speeds exceeding 80 Mbit/s.
