Direct Answer
A dedicated mobile proxy reserves a German mobile connection for you alone, giving the most stable sessions and consistent IP trust. A shared mobile proxy splits one connection across a small number of users at a lower price. Both deliver real German mobile IPs; the difference is exclusivity, stability and cost.
What "Dedicated" and "Shared" Actually Mean
The terms describe how many customers use one mobile connection — not the quality of the IP itself. Both dedicated and shared proxies route through real German mobile devices and inherit the same high baseline trust from CGNAT, where each public IP is already shared among thousands of genuine carrier subscribers.
- Dedicated: the mobile connection is assigned to you and nobody else among our customers. You control its sessions and rotation, and no other user's activity competes for its bandwidth.
- Shared: the connection is split across a small number of users. You still get a real German mobile IP, but bandwidth and rotation timing are shared.
Dedicated: Stability and Control
A dedicated connection is the right call when consistency matters. Because it is yours alone, sessions hold steady, throughput is predictable, and the IP's behaviour reflects only your own usage. That makes it the stronger choice for:
- Long-running scraping or monitoring jobs that must not stall mid-run
- Workflows that depend on stable, sticky sessions
- Sensitive or higher-value work where predictable IP trust is worth the premium
You pay more for exclusivity, but you remove the variable of other users sharing the line.
Shared: Lower Cost for Lighter Work
A shared connection is the economical entry point. You get the same real German mobile IP foundation at a lower price, with the trade-off that bandwidth and rotation are split across a few users. It fits well for:
- Lighter or intermittent tasks
- Starting small to test the service against your targets
- Budget-conscious projects that do not need exclusive throughput
For many first-time and lower-volume workloads, shared is more than enough.

FAQ
Does shared mean other people use "my" IP?
A shared mobile IP is, by nature, used by several people — that is also true of every mobile IP via CGNAT. The distinction is that a dedicated plan limits our-side sharing to you alone, while a shared plan splits the connection across a small group of customers.
Is a dedicated proxy more trusted than a shared one?
Baseline IP trust is the same — both are real CGNAT mobile IPs. A dedicated connection adds stability and predictability because only your usage shapes its behaviour, which matters most for heavy or sensitive work.
Which should I start with?
If you are testing or running light tasks, start shared. If you need stable long sessions or predictable throughput, go dedicated. Short plans make it easy to compare both.
