Quick pick
Decodo fits teams that need residential plus mobile proxies, a larger published residential pool, or a path from raw proxies into managed scraping products.
Webshare fits teams that want residential, ISP, and datacenter proxy infrastructure with precise targeting and the lowest-friction free entry point.
Choosing Webshare
What Webshare adds
Webshare offers a low-friction way to validate and run conventional proxy workloads. Ten datacenter proxies are free without a card, paid residential access is self-serve, and the same dashboard covers rotating residential plus static ISP and datacenter products. The current residential product spans 195 countries and exposes ZIP and ASN targeting.
Where Decodo is broader
Decodo publishes a larger residential pool, a dedicated 10M+ mobile product, and a broader scraping stack. Its current residential page also lists a three-day trial and a 14-day money-back policy, giving a structured evaluation path for the paid residential service rather than relying only on a free datacenter sample.
Decodo and Webshare both publish large global residential networks and advanced geo filters. Decodo currently advertises 115M+ residential IPs in 195+ locations and a 10M+ mobile pool across 160+ locations and 700+ carriers. Webshare advertises 80M+ residential IPs in 195 countries and focuses on rotating residential, static ISP, and datacenter proxy products.
Choosing Decodo
What Decodo adds
Decodo covers more proxy and collection scenarios from one account. Residential plans include continent, country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting with unlimited concurrent sessions. Mobile adds 10M+ IPs from 700+ carriers in 160+ locations. Decodo also operates scraping products beyond raw proxies, which matters when a team wants the provider to handle more of the access layer.
Why Webshare may still be preferable
Webshare is easier to keep proxy-only. It publishes residential, ISP, and datacenter plans with a permanent free datacenter tier, and the 80M+ residential network supports state, city, ZIP, and ASN filters. Its FAQ says mobile proxies are not currently part of the lineup, so it is a cleaner fit when carrier IPs and managed scraping tools are unnecessary.
