[\[2\]](#source-2) Which one fits ## An honest verdict ### Choose Webshare if… - You need lots of cheap datacenter IPs for light jobs: Webshare's shared proxies start at 100 for $2.99 a month. - You want a free proxy list that never expires: its free plan gives 10 shared datacenter proxies with 1 GB a month, no card. - You need static residential (ISP) IPs on a budget: from $0.30 per proxy a month, well under our static ISP at $2.38/IP for 10 IPs. - You prefer a fixed monthly bill and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. - You want a provider owned by Oxylabs, with a REST API and a Chrome extension. ### Choose SerpProxies if… - Rotating residential is your main cost: $1.15/GB at 10 GB and $0.65/GB at 1 TB, against Webshare's $2.75 and $1.50/GB monthly plans. - You want to test residential before paying: we give free residential traffic with no card, while Webshare's free plan is datacenter only. - You'd rather top up than subscribe: our balance is pay as you go and never expires. - You need mobile, IPv6 or unlimited-bandwidth proxies, or UDP on residential, none of which Webshare lists. - You want to pay with crypto, which Webshare doesn't accept. - You want refunds on request rather than a 48-hour, under-0.1 GB window. Switching ## Moving from Webshare takes an afternoon 1. 1 ### Test on your own targets 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. Swap host, port and credentials, keep your targeting in the username, and move volume over job by job.

Webshare says it has no trial period. Instead it offers a permanent free plan of 10 shared datacenter proxies with up to 1 GB a month and no credit card. It doesn't cover rotating residential, which starts at $3.50 a month for 1 GB as of October 2026. SerpProxies gives free residential traffic with no card. Oxylabs. It announced the acquisition of Webshare Software in September 2022 and said Webshare would keep operating as an independent entity. Only within 48 hours of purchase, and only if you've used under 0.1 GB on a rotating residential plan (under 1 GB on datacenter or static residential plans) and fewer than 1,000 proxies. Account credits aren't refundable. SerpProxies refunds on request under its satisfaction guarantee. Not by default. Webshare may ask for ID through Stripe Identity to confirm a payment method or when you send high request volumes to rate-limited sites, and some residential targets are unblocked only after KYC. SerpProxies asks for verification only when a risk check calls for it. 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. If you also use Webshare's cheap shared datacenter list, you can keep it for light jobs and move residential traffic over.
