Oxylabs

Oxylabs has been on the market since 2015 and holds a 4.9 rating on caproxy. It is one of the few providers that sells practically every proxy category a data team might need: rotating residential, rotating mobile, ISP and static residential, shared and dedicated datacenter, plus Web Unblocker, a managed product that handles the anti-bot layer for you instead of leaving it to your own retry logic.

What Oxylabs sells is coverage and infrastructure, not a cheap entry ticket. Its residential network reaches 186 countries, its mobile network the same, and Unblocker covers 185. If your targets are spread across dozens of markets and you need one vendor to handle all of them under a single contract, that breadth is the argument. If you need a hundred gigabytes a month from two countries and nothing else, you will pay noticeably more here than at several neighbours, and this review shows exactly how much more.

Oxylabs is built for teams that treat proxies as infrastructure rather than as a line item to minimise. The product range is wide enough that a single account can cover price monitoring in 40 markets, ad verification on mobile IPs, a fleet of static ISP addresses for long-lived sessions, and bulk datacenter bandwidth for targets that do not care where the request comes from. That is a real operational advantage: one vendor, one dashboard, one invoice. The price of that advantage shows up immediately in the residential tier, where every provider in this comparison is cheaper. Keep that in mind before you read the tables: this is not a review that ends with "and it is also the cheapest option".

What Oxylabs sells

Rotating residential proxies. The flagship, available in 186 countries with city-level targeting. This is what you use against targets that block datacenter ranges outright: e-commerce catalogues, travel aggregators, search results, social platforms. Billing is per gigabyte, with a pay-as-you-go option and volume tiers.

Rotating mobile proxies. Also 186 countries, billed per gigabyte. Mobile IPs carry the highest trust level because carrier-grade NAT puts thousands of real subscribers behind the same address, so blocking one address is expensive for the target site. Used for ad verification, app store data, and account work where residential IPs already draw attention.

Web Unblocker. Covers 185 countries. This is not a raw proxy list but a managed endpoint: you send a request, and the service handles proxy selection, header and fingerprint management, retries, and JavaScript rendering. You pay per gigabyte of successful traffic instead of paying for the engineering time it takes to build and maintain that logic yourself.

ISP and static residential proxies. Fifteen countries. These are residential-registered IP addresses hosted on datacenter infrastructure, so you get the trust profile of a home connection with the stability and speed of a server. Billing is per IP per month with unlimited bandwidth, which makes them the natural choice for multi-accounting and for any workflow where the same identity must persist for weeks.

Shared and dedicated datacenter proxies. Twenty-one countries. Shared datacenter is billed per gigabyte, dedicated is billed per IP. This is the cheapest bandwidth in the catalogue and the right tool for targets with weak or no anti-bot protection: internal APIs, public datasets, partner feeds, uptime monitoring.

Residential proxy pricing: the number that decides everything

The residential ladder is where most buyers make their decision, so here it is in full. Pay-as-you-go starts at $8/GB. From there: $7.75/GB at 10-13 GB, $7.50/GB at 40-60 GB, $6.98/GB at 70-95 GB, $6.02/GB at 100-150 GB, $5.50/GB at 250-350 GB, $4/GB at 1000 GB, and $2.50/GB at 2000 GB.

Read that curve carefully, because it is unusually steep at the top end. Between pay-as-you-go and the 100 GB tier you save about 25 percent. Between 100 GB and 2000 GB you save about 58 percent. Oxylabs residential is not priced for small buyers at all; it is priced to reward volume commitments, and the discount only becomes meaningful past the terabyte mark.

In monthly money: 100 GB at $6.02/GB is $602. The same 100 GB bought as pay-as-you-go would be $800, so committing to the tier saves $198. Scaling to 1000 GB at $4/GB gives a bill of $4,000, and doubling again to 2000 GB at $2.50/GB gives $5,000. That last step is the interesting one: the second terabyte effectively costs $1,000, a quarter of what the first one cost. If your usage is anywhere near 1000 GB and growing, moving up a tier is close to free bandwidth.

The uncomfortable comparison is at the bottom of the ladder. At 100-150 GB, Proxy Seller charges $2.20/GB for the same product category. That is $220 against $602 for identical volume, a difference of $382 every month, or $4,584 a year. Coverage and product depth have to be worth that much to you.

Mobile proxies and Web Unblocker

Mobile pricing starts at $9/GB for 1 GB and steps down to $8.25/GB at 10-13 GB, $7.89/GB at 25-38 GB, $7.50/GB at 70-95 GB, $6.50/GB at 100-150 GB, $5.99/GB at 250-350 GB, $5/GB at 500-600 GB, and a floor of $3/GB from 1000 GB onward. The floor is flat: 1000, 2000, 3000 and 5000 GB all cost the same per gigabyte, so there is no reason to over-commit beyond a terabyte hoping for a better rate.

Note the inversion at high volume. Mobile at $3/GB from 1000 GB is cheaper than residential at $4/GB on the same volume, and stays below residential until residential drops to $2.50/GB at 2000 GB. If your targets tolerate mobile IPs, the higher-trust product is the better buy in that range, which is not how these two products usually line up.

Web Unblocker runs from $9.40/GB at 5-8 GB down through $8.60/GB at 25-38 GB, $7.50/GB at 70-95 GB, $7/GB at 100-150 GB, $6/GB at 250-350 GB, and flattens at $5/GB from 700 GB and stays there through 5000 GB.

When does Unblocker beat rolling your own stack on top of residential? Compare like for like at the 100-150 GB tier: residential is $6.02/GB, Unblocker is $7/GB. The premium is $0.98/GB, so 100 GB costs $98 more per month. That $98 buys you fingerprint handling, retry logic and rendering that you would otherwise write and maintain. At 1000 GB the gap widens: residential $4/GB versus Unblocker $5/GB is $1,000 extra per month, which is real engineering budget. The rule of thumb from these numbers: Unblocker is cheap insurance at small and medium volume and an explicit build-versus-buy decision at large volume. Also remember that Unblocker bills successful traffic, whereas failed requests on a raw residential pool still consume gigabytes, so the effective gap is narrower than the sticker gap on hard targets.

Datacenter and ISP: where Oxylabs is actually cheap

Shared datacenter starts at $0.65/GB for 70-95 GB, then $0.60/GB at 100-150 GB, $0.55/GB at 250-350 GB, $0.50/GB at 500-600 GB, $0.48/GB at 1000 GB, $0.46/GB at 2000 GB and $0.44/GB at 5000 GB. Dedicated datacenter runs from $2.25 per IP at 3 IPs down to $2 at 20-30, $1.80 at 50, $1.55 at 100-250, $1.35 at 400-500 and $1.20 per IP from 1000 IPs.

ISP and static residential share the same ladder: $1.60 per IP at 10 IPs, $1.45 at 50, $1.30 at 100-250, $1.20 at 400-500, and $1.15 per IP from 1000 IPs. That is genuinely competitive. BrightData charges $2.75 per IP at 100 ISP addresses and NodeMaven charges $4.99, so Oxylabs undercuts both by a wide margin on this product. The catch is geography, which we come to next.

Geography

The country counts split the catalogue in two. Rotating residential and rotating mobile both reach 186 countries, Unblocker 185. The static products are far narrower: 21 countries for shared and dedicated datacenter, and only 15 for ISP and static residential.

That asymmetry matters more than the headline number. If your workflow needs a static, long-lived IP registered in Brazil, Turkey or Indonesia, Oxylabs ISP will not serve you regardless of how good the price per address is. Fifteen countries is a European and North American footprint with a few additions, and no amount of residential coverage compensates, because rotating IPs are the wrong tool for a persistent session. Check the ISP country list against your targets before anything else; it is the single most common reason a buyer discovers Oxylabs does not fit after signing up.

The chart below places Oxylabs residential coverage against the other providers in this review, so you can see where 186 countries sits in the field.

Oxylabs is near the top but not at it, and the practical difference between the leaders is small: past roughly 180 countries you are into markets most projects never query. Coverage becomes a real differentiator only against NodeMaven, whose 102 countries is a different class of footprint.

How Oxylabs compares to cheaper pools

Here is the comparison on equal terms: the same product, the same volume, side by side.

The price gap in numbers

The chart below shows the lowest per-gigabyte price each provider reaches across its whole catalogue, which is a useful way to see where each one has its floor.

The takeaway: Oxylabs sits near the very bottom of the field, but only because of shared datacenter bandwidth. Its residential floor is a different story entirely, sitting above the residential floor of every provider here except BrightData. Read that chart as a statement about datacenter competitiveness, not about residential value.

What users say and what the data does not show

Oxylabs holds a 4.9 rating on caproxy. User reviews on the page number exactly one, rated 5 out of 5. One review is not a sample, and we are not going to build a reliability argument on it. The chart below shows average user scores across the providers in this comparison, with the same warning attached: several of these averages rest on one or two reviews each.

Treat it as a rough signal of the absence of complaints rather than evidence of quality. Four of the six providers sit at the same score, which by itself tells you the sample is too thin to discriminate between them.

There are things this review deliberately does not claim. We have no independent measurements of Oxylabs' success rate against protected targets, no latency benchmarks by region, and no verified figure for the size of the residential or mobile pool. Those numbers exist in vendor marketing, but we do not publish figures we have not verified, and pool size in particular is the industry's least reliable statistic. If throughput and success rate are decisive for your project, run a paid test at the smallest volume against your own targets before committing to a tier. The pay-as-you-go option at $8/GB exists precisely for that, and a 5 GB test costs $40.

Two concrete scenarios

Scenario 1: e-commerce price monitoring, 1000 GB of residential per month. You are scraping product pages and prices across a dozen markets, the targets block datacenter ranges, and your crawler burns roughly a terabyte a month. At Oxylabs the bill is $4,000. The same volume at Proxyscrape, at $2/GB, is $2,000. At Proxy Seller, at $1.45/GB, it is $1,450. The annual difference between Oxylabs and Proxy Seller on this workload is $30,600. For that money you should be getting something concrete: broader country coverage than 195 (you are not), or Unblocker handling targets your own stack fails on (possibly), or a support and contract relationship your finance department requires (this is often the real answer). If none of those apply, the cheaper pool is the rational pick. One nuance worth checking: if your crawler wastes a significant fraction of traffic on blocked responses, an Unblocker plan at $5/GB from 700 GB, billed on successful traffic, can land closer to a raw residential plan than the headline numbers suggest.

Scenario 2: 100 ISP addresses for multi-accounting. You need static residential-registered IPs that stay assigned to the same accounts for months. At Oxylabs, 100 ISP addresses cost $1.30 each, or $130 a month, across 15 countries. Webshare charges $1.79 each, $179 a month, across 11 countries. Proxy Seller charges $2.55 each, $255 a month, across 24 countries. BrightData charges $2.75 each, $275 a month, across 50 countries. NodeMaven charges $4.99 each, $499 a month, across 6 countries. Oxylabs is the cheapest per address in this group by a clear margin, and the difference against NodeMaven alone is $369 a month. The decision here turns entirely on the country list: if the geos you need are inside those 15 countries, Oxylabs is the obvious answer; if you need something outside them, price becomes irrelevant and BrightData's 50-country footprint is what you are paying the premium for.

Who should buy Oxylabs and who should not

Buy it if your targets are spread across many countries and you need one residential or mobile network to cover them; if you want Web Unblocker to absorb the anti-bot layer instead of maintaining it in-house; if you consume large volumes of datacenter bandwidth, where $0.44/GB at 5000 GB is genuinely competitive; if you need a fleet of ISP addresses inside the 15 supported countries at $1.15-$1.30 per IP; or if you are already committing past 1000 GB of residential, where the ladder finally becomes reasonable at $4/GB and $2.50/GB.

Do not buy it if your residential usage sits around or below 100 GB a month. At $6.02/GB you are paying $602 where Proxy Seller charges $220 and Proxyscrape $350 for the same volume, and no amount of coverage justifies that at that scale. Do not buy it if your ISP requirements fall outside 15 countries; Proxy Seller covers 24 and BrightData 50. Do not buy it if you work with one or two geographies exclusively, because the entire coverage argument, which is the core of the Oxylabs proposition, evaporates and you are left paying enterprise prices for a service you use like a small pool.

The honest summary: Oxylabs is a complete, wide-coverage platform whose datacenter and ISP pricing is competitive and whose residential pricing is in the upper part of the market. Decide on that basis, not on the brand.
