&lt;p&gt;From what I&#39;ve heard, a bigger pool mostly helps with avoiding rate limits and rotating fast enough to not get flagged, but it doesn&#39;t do much for success rate on its own if a large share of those IPs are already burned or poorly maintained. The providers here leaning on success rate as the headline number seem to be making the more honest claim, since a smaller, well-maintained pool of clean IPs tends to outperform a huge one padded with proxies that keep getting blocked.&lt;/p&gt;
