Oxylabs and Infatica both offer full residential targeting depth — country, city, ZIP, ASN, and ISP targeting are documented on both networks. That shared capability removes targeting precision as the comparison axis and forces the evaluation toward what each provider has built around it.

Oxylabs wraps its 175M+ residential pool in a compliance stack that can be independently verified: ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2 for the Scraper API, EWDCI founding membership, and KYC applied to every customer. Infatica routes each request through GeoDNS to the nearest gateway, exposes rotation period and geolocation settings as dashboard controls — not just code-level parameters — and requires KYC only at first purchase via Veriff rather than as a baseline network gate.

Teams choosing between them have the same targeting stack available. The choice is between a larger pool with a verifiable compliance audit trail, or dashboard-native rotation control with lighter onboarding friction.

Oxylabs suits teams whose procurement requires ISO 27001, SOC 2, or EWDCI founding credentials — or whose workloads need a 175M+ residential pool, sticky sessions configurable up to 24 hours, or mobile proxies with carrier targeting. The limitations: KYC is mandatory before full network access, PAYG is capped at 50 GB per month, and rotation is configured via code-level proxy username parameters rather than a dashboard toggle.

Infatica suits teams that need full targeting depth alongside dashboard-native rotation control — rotation period, geolocation settings, and authentication method are all configurable without code changes. Timed rotation at 5-to-60-minute intervals covers workloads that require specific timing windows. KYC via Veriff is required only at first purchase, not as a baseline gate. The limitations: the residential pool is smaller at 40M+, no SLA is documented, compliance certifications are referenced as industry credentials but not specifically named, and GDPR compliance is not explicitly documented.

Oxylabs' philosophy is that compliance credibility requires independent verification. ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2, and EWDCI founding membership are third-party audits that self-referenced industry certifications cannot substitute. KYC is applied to every customer with documented rejection criteria. The pool at 175M+ IPs reduces the risk of IP repetition at high-volume workloads. OxyCopilot generates integration code from natural language. The product is built for teams whose proxy vendor must survive a compliance review.

Infatica's philosophy is that rotation control should be accessible to operators without code-level intervention. Rotation period selection, geolocation targeting, and authentication method are dashboard-configurable — reducing the technical overhead of adjusting session behavior between workloads. Timed rotation at intervals from 5 to 60 minutes lets teams tune session persistence against target detection patterns without touching integration code. GeoDNS routes each request to the nearest gateway. KYC at first purchase — via Veriff with ID and selfie — is lighter than mandatory KYC for every network access request.

You gain independently verified compliance and pool scale with Oxylabs. You give up dashboard rotation control and lighter onboarding friction. With Infatica, the trade runs in reverse — you gain dashboard-native rotation control and accessible entry, and the verified compliance stack, larger pool, and 24-hour sticky sessions become unavailable.

Oxylabs' residential pool is provider-reported at 175M+ IPs across 195 countries. Residential proxies support country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. Mobile proxies cover 20M IPs with carrier targeting and 3G/4G/5G support. ISP static and datacenter proxies are available. Sticky sessions are configurable up to 24 hours. Dedicated residential IPs with exclusive assignment are available.

Infatica's pool is provider-reported at 40M+ proxies across 195+ countries. Residential proxies support country, region, city, ISP, ZIP, and ASN targeting — all documented in API tool documentation. Mobile proxies support country, city, carrier, and ASN targeting. Three rotation modes: per-request, timed (5 to 60 minute intervals), and sticky via session ID parameter. Maximum sticky session duration is not published. Five proxy types: dynamic residential, mobile, ISP static, dedicated datacenter, and shared datacenter. Dedicated non-ISP rotating residential with exclusive peer assignment is not listed as a separate product.

Oxylabs authenticates via username and password in the proxy URL, with IP whitelist authentication for up to 10 IPs. Targeting is configured via proxy username parameters per request — dashboard rotation configuration is not documented. The REST API covers proxy configuration, zone management, and usage statistics at all tiers. OxyCopilot generates integration code from natural language. KYC is mandatory before full network access.

Infatica authenticates via username and password in the proxy string, with IP whitelist authentication also supported — whitelisted IPs take priority. Rotation period, geolocation targeting, and authentication method are configurable in the dashboard without code changes. Targeting parameters are also available via proxy username string. GeoDNS routes requests to the nearest gateway. KYC via Veriff with ID and selfie is required on first purchase only. Sub-user or team account management is not documented.

Oxylabs bills residential and mobile proxies per GB on subscription tiers and PAYG. PAYG is capped at 50 GB per month. A 7-day free trial for businesses is available without a credit card. KYC must be completed before billing can begin on the full network.

Infatica bills residential proxies per GB on PAYG and subscription tiers, with a 20% annual billing discount available. Mobile proxies are billed per GB separately. ISP static and dedicated datacenter proxies are billed per IP per month. A paid 7-day trial is available for residential and mobile — not a free trial. PAYG requires no subscription commitment. Custom plans for high-volume needs require contact.

ISO 27001, SOC 2, or EWDCI founding credentials are required by procurement — or a 175M+ residential pool, sticky sessions up to 24 hours, or mobile proxies with carrier targeting are operational needs. Oxylabs fits.

Dashboard-native rotation control without code changes, timed rotation at custom intervals, KYC only at first purchase, and PAYG flexibility without a monthly cap are the priorities. Infatica fits.

You gain verified compliance and pool scale with Oxylabs. You give up dashboard rotation control and lighter onboarding. With Infatica, the trade runs in reverse — you gain dashboard control and accessible entry, and the verified compliance stack, larger pool, and 24-hour sticky sessions become unavailable.

Neither fits teams that need both independently audited compliance and dashboard-native rotation control in the same product.

Ask what your compliance process requires. If ISO 27001, SOC 2, or EWDCI founding membership must appear on the vendor record — Infatica's referenced industry certifications are not specifically named and cannot substitute for those requirements. Oxylabs' audit stack addresses them directly.

Ask whether your team iterates on rotation strategy — adjusting session timing between workloads based on target detection behavior — and whether doing that without code changes matters operationally. If yes, Infatica's dashboard-native control and timed rotation granularity are the fit, and the smaller pool, unnamed certifications, and unpublished sticky session TTL are the constraints to accept.

If your requirement is audited compliance and pool scale — Oxylabs. If your requirement is rotation control granularity and dashboard access — Infatica.
