Quick pick
Choose Webshare when a large published residential pool, 195-country reach, ZIP/ASN filtering, and a low-friction self-serve proxy catalog matter most.
Choose Geonode when very high-volume pricing, speed-based unlimited residential traffic, unlimited-bandwidth ISP IPs, or an integrated scraper API fit the workload better.
Webshare and Geonode both sell residential proxy access, but the buying models are unusually different. Webshare publishes an 80M+ residential network across 195 countries, with state, city, ZIP, and ASN filters and a conventional pay-per-GB self-serve flow. Geonode is pushing a wholesale-style model: its residential page advertises volume pricing that falls as usage rises, while separate unlimited-residential plans are priced by throughput rather than traffic volume.
Choosing Webshare
Where Webshare stands out
Webshare gives a buyer a large published residential pool, 195-country coverage, and a targeting stack that explicitly includes state, city, ZIP, and ASN. Its product catalog is easy to understand: datacenter Proxy Server, Static Residential/ISP, and Rotating Residential. It also keeps a permanent free datacenter entry point with 10 proxies and no credit card, which is useful for testing integrations before paying for residential traffic.
What to weigh against Geonode
Geonode has pricing models Webshare does not mirror directly. Its standard residential tiers go down to $0.27/GB only at very large volume, and its Unlimited Residential product replaces per-GB billing with a monthly speed cap and unlimited traffic. Geonode also sells ISP proxies with unlimited bandwidth and a scraper API, so teams that want proxy infrastructure plus higher-level collection tooling may prefer that shape.
Choosing Geonode
Where Geonode stands out
Geonode is differentiated less by a single headline pool number than by infrastructure economics. The current residential product supports country, state, city, ASN/ISP, and OS targeting, while the unlimited-residential line is billed by throughput and removes traffic metering inside the chosen speed tier. Its ISP product is sold per IP with unlimited bandwidth, and the same platform also exposes a scraper API for teams that do not want to manage every request themselves.
What to weigh against Webshare
The two companies publish network size in different ways, so their counts should not be treated as directly comparable. Webshare states 80M+ residential IPs in 195 countries. Geonode's current pages use live, active-monthly, and rotating-monthly metrics depending on the page, while the residential product page states 7.5M+ active monthly IPs across 150+ countries. For a buyer who wants one simple, stable headline metric, Webshare is easier to read.
