Shared ISP plans put several customers on the same address and cost a fraction of dedicated plans. Here is what changes for allowlists, blocks and repeated checks, with the published prices.

**Quick answer — Should I buy dedicated or shared ISP proxies?**

Buy dedicated ISP proxies when the IP must be yours alone: allowlists, logged-in sessions, daily checks from one address. Shared IPs cost from $0.27 (Decodo) or $0.30 (Webshare) per month, dedicated ones about $1.79 to $5.00 (October 19, 2026). **PinnedIP** sells dedicated US IPs only, $2.03 for 30 days, no KYC.

## What does sharing an ISP IP change?

- **Blocks travel.** If another customer’s traffic gets the shared IP rate-limited or blocked on a site, you inherit the block on that site.
- **Allowlists stop making sense.** A partner who allowlists a shared IP lets every customer on it through, so most partners will refuse it, and they should.
- **Repeated checks get noisier.** A site sees several users behind one address, so results can shift for reasons that have nothing to do with you.
- **Sessions can collide.** Two customers logged in to the same service from one IP may trigger security checks for both.

None of this matters for one-off fetches of public pages that do not track visitors, where shared IPs are good value.

## How many users share a shared IP?

Vendors rarely say. Oxylabs is explicit: its shared ISP proxies are "shared with up to 3 users". Webshare and Decodo describe their cheaper plans as shared without publishing a number. If the number is not published, plan as if it could be higher.

## Is dedicated worth six to ten times the price?

Count the cost of a failure, not the price per IP. If one blocked shared IP stops an allowlisted integration or spoils a week of price observations, the $2.03 of a dedicated 30-day IP is the cheaper option. If you fetch thousands of public pages once each, shared IPs or rotating traffic may do the job for less.

## Dedicated vs shared: FAQ

### Can I tell whether my ISP IP is shared?

Not reliably from the outside. Ask the vendor, and read the plan name: "dedicated" and "private" plans should assign one customer per IP, while "shared" or cheaper plans usually do not.

### Does PinnedIP sell shared ISP IPs?

No. Dedicated: each IP is assigned to one customer at a time for the rental.

### Is a dedicated IP guaranteed never to be blocked?

No. A dedicated IP can still be limited by a site because of its own rules or the IP’s history. What it removes is the risk created by other customers during your rental.
