The short answer

Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) is the cheaper and more flexible of the two for residential traffic: it has pay as you go, monthly plans from 3 GB and $2.00/GB at 1 TB against Oxylabs' $2.50/GB. Oxylabs is the bigger enterprise platform, with a larger claimed pool and one monthly credit balance across proxies and scraping APIs — but that credit expires each cycle and self-service purchases aren't refundable.
