Quick pick
Oxylabs fits if a managed Scraper API layer, JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, or low-friction evaluation before procurement are requirements.
NetNut fits if ISP-direct residential routing without peer-device dependency, session stability from infrastructure rather than peer assignment, or CDN proxy access are the architectural constraints.
Oxylabs and NetNut both operate large residential networks with enterprise-facing positioning -- but the infrastructure underneath differs. Oxylabs routes residential through a peer-based network and wraps it in a Scraper API layer for JavaScript rendering and structured data extraction. NetNut routes residential through direct ISP partnerships rather than end-user devices, avoiding peer-dependency variability, and also separates CDN proxy access as its own product type.
If you choose Oxylabs
What you get that NetNut doesn't offer
A Scraper API layer handling JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, and structured data extraction -- NetNut delivers raw proxy access without a managed extraction layer. ASN targeting on mobile proxies. A free residential trial without credit card entry. Shared endpoints accessible before full account approval completes. Dedicated account managers on enterprise plans. A Web Scraper IDE for no-code data collection.
What you give up
NetNut's ISP-direct routing -- residential IPs connect through ISP infrastructure rather than end-user devices, which removes the peer availability dependency that peer-based networks carry. NetNut's CDN proxy type, which Oxylabs does not offer. Session stability on ISP static proxies comes from infrastructure rather than peer assignment -- which behaves differently from Oxylabs' peer-based residential sessions under sustained load.
If you choose NetNut
What you get that Oxylabs doesn't offer
ISP-direct residential routing -- IPs that route through ISP infrastructure, removing end-user device dependency. CDN proxy access as a separate proxy type. Session stability on static ISP proxies that comes from infrastructure availability rather than peer churn. A 53M+ ISP-direct residential pool.
What you give up
Oxylabs' Scraper API -- JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, and structured data extraction as a managed layer. ASN targeting on mobile. A free trial accessible before pricing engagement. Shared endpoints for low-friction evaluation. Dedicated account management. NetNut's pricing requires sales engagement for enterprise rates -- Oxylabs publishes more of its pricing structure directly. Oxylabs' Web Scraper IDE for no-code workflows.
