Why startups choose Massive over other proxy providers
Four reasons founders pick Massive when their product depends on reliable, ethical web access.
We own our supply
Most proxy providers buy IP capacity from aggregators and can be cut off without warning. Massive owns its supply through opt-in volunteer devices on the Massive SDK. Your traffic does not get shut off because a third-party supplier had a bad week.
Built for AI workloads, not legacy scraping
Most proxy infrastructure was designed for slow, browser-driven scraping. Massive was built from the start for AI agents and high-concurrency data pipelines: sub-600ms response times, structured request logs, and an MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other AI clients.
Ethics that hold up in an audit
SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA compliant, AppEsteem certified, AMTSO member. Every IP comes from a device whose owner explicitly opted in. This matters when you raise a Series A and your investor's data diligence team starts asking questions.
Founder-priced after the program
If you continue past the 3-month program, residential bandwidth starts at $3.20/GB at enterprise volume and $4.90/GB at developer volume. ISP proxies start at $1.80/IP. No annual contract required.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Massive?
Massive is a web access API for AI agents, data pipelines, and any application that needs to reach the live web. It is backed by millions of opted-in volunteer devices in 195+ countries, which makes it one of the largest and most ethically sourced residential proxy networks in the world.
What does Massive specialize in?
Real-time web access at scale. Three core APIs: Web Access API for raw residential HTTP, Web Render API for JavaScript rendering plus antibot bypass, and Web Search API for structured SERP data. Used by AI agent companies, LLM training teams, scraping platforms, price monitoring tools, and Fortune 500 research desks.
Why Massive?
99.8% first-request success rate across 195+ countries. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA compliant. Volunteer-sourced supply means we are not at the mercy of upstream aggregators. Trusted by Tavily, Wynd, Coupang, BlackRock, and Bloomberg. Featured on AppEsteem and a member of AMTSO.
What is included in the Massive for Startups offer?
Qualifying startups receive 1TB of Web Access API bandwidth per month, free for 3 months. That is enough to power a production AI agent, run a serious scraping pipeline, or train a domain-specific model. No payment method, no contract, and no automatic billing after the program ends.
Who is eligible for free proxies through Massive for Startups?
Four tracks: Y Combinator companies from any batch, accelerator-backed startups (Techstars, 500 Global, Antler, Entrepreneur First, MassChallenge, and 30+ others), VC-backed startups from pre-seed through Series B, and bootstrapped or self-funded teams with a live product or prototype.
Do YC startups get free proxies or scraping credits?
Yes. Any current or alumni YC company qualifies for 1TB/month of free Web Access API bandwidth for 3 months through the Massive for Startups program. Apply with your public YC batch listing, your demo day link, or your YC alumni profile.
Is this a residential proxy free trial?
Yes. Massive for Startups is effectively a 3-month residential proxy free trial with 1TB/month of bandwidth included, for eligible startups. Unlike most proxy free trials, there is no credit card required, no hard cap that throttles you mid-scrape, and no automatic conversion to a paid plan.
Can I use the free bandwidth on the Web Render API or Web Search API?
The program includes 1TB/month on the Web Access API. If your use case requires JavaScript rendering through the Web Render API or structured SERP data through the Web Search API, mention it in your application and we will discuss bundled access during onboarding.
Does Massive take equity in exchange for the program?
No. Massive does not take equity, warrants, or any future commitment in exchange for the Startups program. There is no sales call required unless you ask for one.
How do you verify eligibility?
We ask for one piece of proof during application. YC, Techstars, 500 Global, and other accelerators: your public batch listing, demo day link, or alumni profile. VC-backed: investor name, fund website, or press release. Bootstrapped: a short product description, a pitch deck, or an MRR screenshot.
How long does approval take?
Most applications are reviewed within 2 business days. If we need clarification, we will contact you directly. Once approved, your API key is issued the same day.
What happens after 3 months?
You have the option to upgrade to a paid plan, but there is no automatic billing and no payment method on file. We will notify you before the program ends so you can decide whether to continue.
Can I reapply if I get rejected?
Yes. We especially encourage reapplication if your startup grows, raises a round, or becomes eligible through a new accelerator program. Mention your previous application in the form.
Is Massive a proxy or a web access API?
Technically both. The Web Access API is built on a network of opted-in volunteer residential devices, which makes it one of the largest residential proxy networks in the world. We use "Web Access API" because that is what AI agent and data pipeline teams are actually buying: a programmable interface to the live web, not a raw proxy list.
How is Massive different from Bright Data, Oxylabs, or SOAX?
Three differences. First, Massive owns its supply through the opt-in Massive SDK rather than buying capacity from aggregators that can cut us off. Second, Massive was built for AI workloads with sub-600ms response times, structured logs, and an MCP server for Claude and Cursor. Third, every IP is ethically sourced with explicit user consent, SOC 2 Type II audited, and AppEsteem certified.
What kind of startups use Massive?
AI agent companies (Tavily, Browserbase, Browser Use, Skyvern), data and scraping platforms (HasData, SearchAPI, TrajectData), SERP and SEO tools (Serper, Modash), e-commerce and price monitoring teams, enterprise research desks at Fortune 500s, and a long tail of bootstrapped and YC-backed startups building on the live web.
Can I use Massive for LLM training data or RAG?
Yes. LLM training and retrieval-augmented generation are two of the fastest growing use cases on Massive. The Web Access API gives you fresh, real-world web content at residential-IP scale, and the Web Render API handles pages that require JavaScript execution to be useful for training or retrieval.
