The short answer

Oxylabs is the better fit if you want scraping APIs and proxies on one bill, a 175M+ residential pool and a 20M+ mobile pool, or shared ISP IPs, which cost less than ours between about 13 IPs and 990 IPs. For residential and mobile traffic SerpProxies costs less ($1.15/GB at 10 GB against Oxylabs' $6/GB Starter rate, $0.65/GB at 1 TB against $2.50/GB on a $2,500 Enterprise plan) and is pay as you go, where Oxylabs sells monthly credit that expires each cycle, requires a KYC questionnaire from everyone and doesn't refund self-service purchases.

What you'll actually pay

What residential traffic costs on each

The same four orders priced on both. Oxylabs figures come from its own price list; ours from the rates checkout charges.

10 GB of residential trafficSerpProxies$11.51[1]$1.15/GB · pay as you goOxylabs$60.00[2]$6.00/GB · Starter $30 (monthly)
100 GB of residential trafficSerpProxies$97.59[1]$0.98/GB · pay as you goOxylabs$500.00[2]$5.00/GB · Basic $100 (monthly)
500 GB of residential trafficSerpProxies$383.31[1]$0.77/GB · pay as you goOxylabs$2,000[2]$4.00/GB · Flexible $500 (monthly)
1 TB of residential trafficSerpProxies$653.12[1]$0.65/GB · pay as you goOxylabs$2,500[2]$2.50/GB · Enterprise from $2,500 (monthly)

Each figure is the cheapest way to buy that much from the provider's own published price list: when a plan's minimum is larger than what you need, you pay for the whole plan, and a bigger plan wins whenever its lower rate makes up for it. Taxes excluded. The lowest cost in each row is blue.

About Oxylabs

Oxylabs, on the record

Facts from their own site and policies — no review-site hearsay. Each one is linked to its source.

What Oxylabs does well

  • A large published residential pool, 175M+ IPs in 195 countries, with ZIP, coordinate and ASN targeting at no extra cost.[10]
  • A 20M+ mobile IP pool across 140+ countries.[24]
  • One credit subscription covers every self-service product: proxies, Web Scraper API, Web Unblocker and Agent Browser.[8]
  • HTTP/3 (MASQUE over QUIC) is supported on residential alongside HTTP(S) and SOCKS5.[11]
  • Dedicated ISP proxies let you pick the ASN, such as Comcast, Verizon, Orange or Vodafone.[25]
  • A $5 welcome credit with no payment details, and paid plans from $30 a month.[13]
  • 24/7 support by live chat and email, with a dedicated account manager on exclusive plans.[26]

Where Oxylabs is limited

  • No pay as you go: beyond the $5 welcome credit, self-service products need an active monthly plan.[8]
  • Unused plan credit and top-ups expire at the end of each billing cycle; they carry over only on an upgrade.[8]
  • All self-service purchases are non-refundable.[19]
  • Every customer must complete a KYC questionnaire, and Oxylabs says it rejects at least a quarter of customer enquiries each year.[16]
  • The residential network blocks some targets, including Apple domains, banking, some Google domains, government, streaming, ticketing and mailing sites.[2]
  • The lowest residential rate, $2.50/GB, needs an Enterprise plan from $2,500 a month; the Starter rate is $6/GB.[2]
  • No cryptocurrency payments.[17]
Which one fits

An honest verdict

Choose Oxylabs if…

  • You want proxies and scraping tools on one account: Oxylabs' monthly credit pays for its Web Scraper API, Web Unblocker and Agent Browser as well as proxies, none of which SerpProxies sells.
  • You need a very large residential pool (175M+ IPs claimed) or a 20M+ mobile pool across 140+ countries.
  • You run static ISP IPs in quantity: its shared ISP plans cost $1.50 to $1.10 per IP a month and undercut ours between about 13 IPs and 990 IPs.
  • You want dedicated ISP IPs from a specific ASN such as Comcast or Verizon.
  • You pay by PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or by wire through a sales team.

Choose SerpProxies if…

  • You want residential traffic for less: $1.15/GB at 10 GB and $0.65/GB at 1 TB, against Oxylabs' $6/GB Starter and $2.50/GB Enterprise rates.
  • Your usage varies month to month: our balance never expires, while Oxylabs credit and top-ups lapse at the end of each billing cycle.
  • You need mobile traffic: ours is $1.94/GB at 10 GB, against $7.50/GB on Oxylabs' Starter plan.
  • You'd rather not fill in a KYC questionnaire to start; we ask for verification only when a risk check calls for it.
  • You want to pay with crypto, or want refunds on request rather than non-refundable purchases.
  • You need UDP on residential, IPv6 proxies or an unlimited-bandwidth plan.
Switching

Moving from Oxylabs takes an afternoon

    Create an account and use the free residential traffic on the sites you actually scrape or run — no card needed.

  2. 2

    Swap the gateway

    Replace host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most code doesn't change.

  3. 3

    Move volume over

    Top up a balance that never expires and shift traffic job by job. The per-GB rate drops automatically as your volume grows.

Switch in an afternoon

Same gateway format. No monthly plan. Credit that never expires.

Oxylabs alternative: questions

For residential proxies, yes, at every volume from 1 GB to 5 TB. At 10 GB we charge $1.15/GB against Oxylabs' $6/GB on the $30 Starter plan; at 1 TB we're at $0.65/GB against $2.50/GB on its Enterprise plan from $2,500 a month. Oxylabs' shared ISP proxies are cheaper than our static ISP between about 13 IPs and 990 IPs.

Not on its current pricing. Oxylabs sells one monthly credit subscription shared across all self-service products; beyond the $5 welcome credit you need an active plan, and unused credit and top-ups expire at the end of each billing cycle. SerpProxies is pay as you go and the balance never expires.

Every new account gets a one-time $5 welcome credit with no payment details, which covers about 0.8 GB of residential traffic at $6/GB. Larger trials go through sales. SerpProxies gives free residential traffic with no card.

Yes. Oxylabs says every customer must answer a KYC questionnaire (company details, use case, documents on request) before getting access, and some restricted ISP-proxy targets need a further check. SerpProxies asks for verification only when a risk check calls for it.

No. Oxylabs' help center says all self-service purchases are non-refundable, and unused balance expires at the end of the final cycle. SerpProxies refunds on request under its satisfaction guarantee.

Create an account, claim the free trial and swap the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most scrapers need only a new proxy URL. If you use Oxylabs' Web Scraper API or Web Unblocker, keep those or replace them with your own scraping code; SerpProxies supplies the proxies.
