Quick pick
Oxylabs fits if a managed Scraper API layer, JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, ASN targeting on mobile, or dedicated account management are requirements.
MarsProxies fits if speed-sensitive datacenter proxies, a pricing model aimed at cost-sensitive workloads, 24/7 live chat, or a faster onboarding path are the priorities.
Oxylabs and MarsProxies serve different operating contexts. Oxylabs wraps the proxy network in a Scraper API for JavaScript rendering and structured data extraction, with a large residential pool and dedicated account management. MarsProxies is built around datacenter proxies positioned for speed-sensitive use cases and a mobile pool, with a pricing model aimed at cost-sensitive workloads and 24/7 live chat.
If you choose Oxylabs
What you get that MarsProxies doesn't offer
The decision here turns on whether you need a managed extraction layer or just fast raw proxy access. If your team is scraping JavaScript-heavy sites and doesn't want to build CAPTCHA handling and rendering infrastructure itself, Oxylabs' Scraper API absorbs that work entirely -- MarsProxies delivers proxy access and stops there. ASN targeting on mobile, a broader residential pool, dedicated account managers, the Web Scraper IDE, and a free residential trial extend the same logic: Oxylabs is priced for teams that want the vendor to own more of the extraction pipeline.
What you give up
If the job is speed-sensitive datacenter work rather than JS-heavy extraction, none of that managed-layer investment pays off -- MarsProxies' datacenter proxies with no IP sharing between customers and its pricing aimed at cost-sensitive workloads are the more direct fit, with 24/7 live chat and a more self-serve onboarding path than Oxylabs' enterprise-verification workflow.
If you choose MarsProxies
What you get that Oxylabs doesn't offer
For speed-sensitive, cost-constrained scraping where you're managing extraction yourself, MarsProxies' datacenter proxies with no IP sharing between customers are the more practical tool than Oxylabs' managed-API stack, whose pricing reflects infrastructure you may not need. The cost-sensitive pricing model, 24/7 live chat, and a more self-serve onboarding path than Oxylabs' enterprise workflow mean you're running traffic sooner for that specific use case.
What you give up
What's missing is the managed extraction layer: no Scraper API, no JavaScript rendering or CAPTCHA solving as a service, and no ASN targeting on mobile or dedicated account manager. If the job later expands into general JS-heavy web scraping alongside the speed-sensitive work, that's engineering effort you'd have to build yourself; Oxylabs' documented compliance materials are also the deeper paper trail if a contract requires it.
