Quick pick
Oxylabs fits large-scale collection that needs deep targeting, mobile proxies, advanced environment filters, or a 175M+ residential pool.
Webshare fits teams that want 195-country residential coverage, ZIP/ASN targeting, and a simpler self-serve catalog with a permanent free datacenter starting point.
Oxylabs and Webshare both cover residential proxy workloads, but their product depth is very different. Oxylabs advertises 175M+ residential IPs across 195 countries, advanced filters down to ZIP, coordinates, ASN, IP version, and operating system, plus a 20M+ mobile network. Webshare advertises 80M+ residential IPs in 195 countries and keeps the catalog focused on datacenter, ISP, and rotating residential proxies.
Choosing Oxylabs
Oxylabs strengths
Oxylabs is built for teams that need more routing dimensions and multiple proxy classes at scale. Residential traffic can be filtered by continent, country, state, city, ZIP, coordinates, and ASN; advanced options add IPv4/IPv6 and platform or OS selection. Its mobile product adds 20M+ real mobile IPs across 140+ countries with coordinate and ASN targeting, and the residential product supports unlimited concurrent sessions.
What Webshare makes easier
Webshare has a simpler self-serve shape. Public plans cover datacenter, static residential/ISP, and rotating residential products, and 10 datacenter proxies remain available on a permanent free tier. Residential targeting now includes country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN. Webshare's FAQ says mobile proxies are not currently included, so buyers focused on residential, ISP, and datacenter traffic can stay within a narrower product surface.
Choosing Webshare
Webshare strengths
Webshare is easier to approach for small and mid-sized deployments that want transparent public pricing and an immediate test path. The residential pool is 80M+ IPs across 195 countries, the endpoint generator supports sticky and rotating sessions, and the same account can cover low-cost datacenter or static ISP proxies without moving into an enterprise-oriented stack.
What Oxylabs adds
The gap shows up when the workload requires mobile exits, coordinate-level geo selection, IP-version filters, OS filters, or a much larger published residential pool. Oxylabs exposes all of those in its current product pages, while Webshare's present lineup is intentionally more compact.
