Webshare vs Oxylabs
The short answer
These two sit at opposite ends of the same market. Webshare sells to whoever shows up with an email address and seven dollars; Oxylabs wants ID, a bigger commitment, and in exchange runs a pool almost six times larger with enterprise support behind it. If your target sites are ordinary and your volume is under a few hundred gigabytes, the price gap is hard to argue with. If you need a specific city, a huge address space, or someone to call when things break, that's what the extra $2.38 a gigabyte buys.
Choose Webshare if
you want the lower per-gigabyte rate of the two, and you would rather not hand over identity documents to start.
Choose Oxylabs if
a provider that verifies its customers is a signal you want, not a hurdle, and your targets matterWebshare publishes a longer list of what it will not let you reach.
