Oxylabs alternatives and competitors

The usual reason to leave Oxylabs is that its rate card only rewards commitment: $6.00/GB on the $30/month Starter plan, and the good rates begin at $500/month with $2.50/GB requiring $2,500/month and a 1 TB minimum. Decodo attacks exactly that structure, offering $3.75/GB on a $11.25/month plan and $2.75/GB at $275/month.

Capability is close enough that most teams notice the bill more than the product. Decodo advertises 115M+ IPs across 195+ locations against Oxylabs’ 175M+ across 195+ countries, and it matches the geo-targeting depth that matters in practice: country, state, city, and ZIP. Unlimited concurrent sessions are included on all plans.

Choose Decodo when your usage sits in the awkward middle, too large for pay-as-you-go and too small to justify Oxylabs’ committed tiers. This is the most common productive move off Oxylabs and usually the first one to evaluate.

If you are leaving Oxylabs because you need more rather than less, Bright Data is the only vendor here that clearly exceeds it on advertised scale: 400M+ rotating residential IPs across 195 countries against Oxylabs’ 175M+. It also sells a substantially wider platform of unblockers, scraper APIs, and prepared datasets.

The cost is the cost. List pricing is $8.00/GB pay-as-you-go, with committed tiers at $7.00/GB ($499/month), $6.00/GB ($999/month), and $5.00/GB ($1,999/month). A 50% promotion requiring coupon code RESIGB50 was displayed for three months, which brings the pay-as-you-go rate to $4.00/GB, but a three-month promotional rate is not a budgeting input and should not be compared against another vendor’s list price.

Choose Bright Data when pool size or the managed collection layer is genuinely the requirement and the budget exists. Do not choose it on the promotional rate.

Webshare is the direct answer to Oxylabs on per-GB cost at volume. It advertises 80M+ residential IPs across 195 countries at $3.50/GB for 1 GB, $2.75/GB at 10 GB, and $1.40/GB at 3,000 GB. Oxylabs’ equivalent floor is $2.50/GB and requires $2,500/month with a 1 TB commitment.

What you give up is the account management and contractual assurance that typically justify Oxylabs’ pricing. Webshare is a self-service product, and teams that relied on an Oxylabs account manager for troubleshooting or capacity planning will feel that absence immediately.

Choose Webshare when your team is technically self-sufficient, your volume is high, and the enterprise wrapper was never the reason you were paying. If it was, this will be a false economy.

Every vendor above competes with Oxylabs on the per-GB rate. TrueProxies competes on the unit instead. Alongside Residential IPv4 from $1.64/GB, it sells unlimited bandwidth by speed tier on fixed durations, from $4.08/hour at 10 Mbps, so the bill is set by the throughput you provision rather than the bytes you move.

That is worth evaluating when forecasting gigabytes has been the recurring problem: when overage on an Oxylabs tier has bitten, or when the finance conversation about a variable line item costs more attention than the line item. It is worth skipping when usage is small enough that per-GB billing is already cheap.

Stated plainly, TrueProxies publishes 50M+ residential IPv4 addresses across 150+ countries, a smaller pool and narrower coverage than Oxylabs’ advertised 175M+ across 195+, and it sells proxy access rather than a scraping platform. If country breadth is what you buy Oxylabs for, this does not replace it.

SOAX advertises 155M+ IPs across 195+ locations, close to Oxylabs on scale, and prices by destination tier rather than one global rate. Tier 1 runs $5.00/GB on the free Sandbox down to $0.85/GB on Enterprise at $3,000/month; Tier 3 runs $2.00/GB down to $0.35/GB.

Against Oxylabs’ flat $2.50/GB floor, that is a clear win if your traffic is weighted toward emerging markets and a clear loss if it is concentrated in Tier 1. The plan ladder, Sandbox free, Builder $200/month, Team $500/month, also gives a lower entry than Oxylabs’ meaningful tiers.

Choose SOAX when you have measured your destination mix and it justifies the tiering. Do not choose it on the headline Tier 3 rate unless Tier 3 is where your traffic actually goes.

IPRoyal removes the commitment that defines Oxylabs’ pricing. There is no contract, and bandwidth can be bought on subscription at $7.00/GB for 1 GB down to $4.90/GB at 50 GB, or pay-as-you-go at $7.35/GB down to $5.15/GB. Bulk volume is advertised from $1.75/GB.

At small quantities those rates are higher than Oxylabs’ $6.00/GB Starter, so this is not a saving on rate. It is a saving on waste, and only if you were paying an Oxylabs minimum you did not consume. Its 64M+ pool is also the smallest here, well under Oxylabs’ advertised 175M+.

Choose IPRoyal when usage is genuinely intermittent and the monthly floor was the real cost. Otherwise one of the vendors above will serve you better.

Proxy-Cheap advertises $1.50/GB at 3 GB falling to $0.78/GB at 51 GB, across 80M+ IPs and 180+ locations. That undercuts Oxylabs’ best committed rate at a fraction of the volume, which is the entire argument for it.

It is also the furthest from Oxylabs in everything except the address family. Coverage is the narrowest here at 180+ locations against 195+, published bandwidth is capped under 100 Mbps, and there is no enterprise support to fall back on. Budget providers vary more on defended targets, and a pricing page cannot tell you how much.

Choose Proxy-Cheap only when the workload is cost-dominated and the targets are not heavily defended, and only after testing. Coming from Oxylabs this is the largest change in service level on the page, so treat the saving as unproven until you have measured success rate on your own targets.
