Best proxy providers for web scraping, picked job by job

For most scraping jobs, I’d pick Decodo. For large-scale residential, Oxylabs; for cheap datacenter IPs, Webshare. Below you’ll find a pick and a fallback for each kind of job, backed by official prices read on November 12, 2026 and Proxyway’s published 2026 test results.

The pages ranking for this query are mostly vendors picking themselves. I’ll also tell you when to stop buying proxies altogether, because for hard targets and Google results, raw proxies are the wrong tool. The proxies hub maps every other proxy guide on this site.

Short on time?

Here's who I'd pick

Most scraping jobs

Decodo (fallback: Oxylabs)

All four proxy types, 99.92% residential success in Proxyway's test, $275 for 100 GB and a 14-day money-back window.

Large-scale residential

Oxylabs (fallback: Decodo)

Top success rate (99.93%) and the most unique IPs in Proxyway's test; $2.5/GB from 1,000 GB. No self-service refunds.

Cheap datacenter IPs

Webshare (fallback: Rayobyte)

10 datacenter proxies free, then 100 for $2.99 a month. Rayobyte sells pay-as-you-go rotating datacenter traffic down to $0.23/GB.

Stable ISP IPs

Decodo (fallback: Webshare)

3 dedicated ISP IPs for $9.99 a month with a refund window; Webshare's 20 static residential IPs cost $6.

Residential on a budget

DataImpulse (fallback: Byteful)

$1/GB that never expires. Byteful costs more but was fastest and most residential on average in Proxyway's test.

Mobile IPs

Oxylabs or Decodo

Both measured about 99% genuine mobile IPs in Proxyway's test. My mobile roundup covers nine providers.

Heavily protected sites

A web unblocker

Residential pools hit about 99% on a test page but a 74.43% median on Amazon, Google and Instagram.

Google results

A SERP API

Every raw mobile pool in ScrapingBee's public test scored 0% on usable Google results.

A company that wants vetted supply

Bright Data

New residential zones go to verified companies only. Shared datacenter IPs start at 10 for $14.

Prices verified 12 Nov 2026. Sponsors cannot buy a verdict or a position.

What kind of proxy do you actually need? #

Start with the least complex type your targets accept, and only move up when you get blocked. Each step up costs more per GB or per IP and adds sourcing questions. Prices verified 2026-11-12.

Session style is a separate choice from type. Rotating gives a new IP per request or on a timer, which suits broad crawling; sticky holds one IP for a session, usually up to 24 hours, which suits multi-step flows. My guides to residential vs datacenter and ISP vs residential go deeper on each switch.

How do the 10 providers compare? #

Decodo, Oxylabs and Webshare are my three main picks; the other seven each fit one narrower job, from DataImpulse’s $1/GB residential to IPRoyal’s mobile by the day. Prices are USD before tax, verified 2026-11-12. The Proxyway column is its 2026 global residential success rate; it has no independent data for datacenter or ISP proxies.

How I picked them #

I started from the providers that three or more of the ranking pages name (Decodo, Bright Data, Oxylabs and Webshare), then added the ones Proxyway measured well and the ones with a clear price niche. NetNut is left out for the reason in who’s missing.

Proxyway’s results are the only large public test I found. Its residential round sent 3.6 million requests per provider over 21 days, mostly in March and April 2026; providers saw the method in advance, and Proxyway says results reflect the “best rather than default configuration”.

Proxyway also earns money from the providers it reviews, and says so plainly: “We use affiliate links.” I quote its numbers as its own and name which column each one comes from.

Decodo: my first pick for most scraping jobs #

Best for most scrapers, because it sells all four proxy types at fair prices with a refund window. Proxyway measured 99.92% residential success and 0.53 s, plus the most unique US IPs of any provider.

Residential is $4/GB pay-as-you-go through a Wallet, 1 GB at a time, or monthly from 3 GB for $11.25 and 10 GB for $35 to 100 GB for $275, per its pricing page (verified 2026-11-12). Datacenter starts at 10 GB for $6 ($0.60/GB) or dedicated IPs from $1.15 each, and dedicated ISP at 3 IPs for $9.99, with shared ISP from $1.30/GB.

Terms: a 3-day, 100 MB trial becomes the paid plan unless you cancel, and a 14-day money-back window covers a first purchase if you skipped the trial and used no more than 20%. The drawback is the licence: Wallet credits expire after 12 unused months, a point that shows up in a recent Trustpilot complaint. My Decodo pricing breakdown works out the bill at 1, 10 and 100 GB.

Oxylabs: the pick for large-scale residential #

Best for teams buying 100 GB or more a month that want the deepest residential pool. Proxyway measured the top residential success rate (99.93%), 0.60 s and the most unique IPs: 3,241,404 from 3.6 million requests.

Oxylabs sells everything from one monthly credit wallet: a $5 welcome credit, then Starter $15, Basic $100, Flexible $500 and Enterprise from $2,500, per its pricing page (verified 2026-11-12). Residential runs from $6/GB down to $2.5/GB at volume, datacenter is $0.60/GB or $1 per IP ($2 dedicated), and ISP is $1.5 per IP ($3.3 dedicated). What 50 GB really costs on Oxylabs walks through the wallet math.

The drawback is cash flow. Its product page says self-service purchases are non-refundable, unused credits lapse at the end of each cycle, and traffic is billed regardless of HTTP status, so 100 GB means the $500 plan. Oxylabs is a sister company of Decodo and Webshare in the Source group, which says each brand runs independently.

Webshare: cheap datacenter IPs and small plans #

Best for datacenter scraping on a small budget, and for finding out whether datacenter IPs work at all. Its free plan is 10 datacenter proxies with 1 GB a month, no card needed.

Paid datacenter starts at 100 proxies for $2.99 a month, shared plans include 250 GB, and static residential (ISP) starts at 20 proxies for $6, per its pricing page (verified 2026-11-12). Rotating residential runs from 1 GB for $3.50 a month to 100 GB for $225, and Proxyway measured it at 99.28% success with 98.67% residential share. My Webshare pricing guide covers what you pay after month one.

The drawback: plans auto-renew monthly, the refund window is 2 days with under 1 GB used on datacenter or static residential (0.1 GB on rotating residential), and the 25% Cyber Month code covers the first month only. Renewals keep the volume discount, per Webshare’s promo terms (verified 2026-11-12). Trustpilot reviews praise support but include complaints about bad IPs.

Bright Data: for companies that need vetted supply #

Best for registered companies that want a provider gating access with KYC. New residential zones created after July 7, 2026 are “available only to verified companies”, and you add funds first, per its access docs; ISP and datacenter zones aren’t covered by that rule.

Residential is $8/GB pay-as-you-go, or $4 with the RESIGB50 coupon “for 3 months”, per its pricing page (verified 2026-11-12). What I read as the shared tiers start at 10 datacenter IPs for $14 and 10 ISP IPs for $18, each with a 100 GB per-IP monthly fair-use limit; datacenter traffic is also $0.60/GB. How Bright Data bills each product is in a separate guide.

The drawbacks: its residential page prices geo-targeting at “$0.42/GB” while another section calls it “completely free”, and Proxyway lists it among providers it hasn’t tested recently. It also no longer sells mobile, as explained below.

DataImpulse: the lowest residential price per GB #

Best for residential volume on a tight budget. Its residential page charges $1/GB, says “Buy any volume you like”, and promises unused GB never expire (verified 2026-11-12).

The catch is the first purchase. The Intro pack of 5 GB for $5 is a one-time offer for new customers; after that the Basic card is $50 for 50 GB, and Advanced is $800 for 1 TB. Its 7-day refund applies only to the first Intro purchase, per its terms.

Proxyway measured the standard pool at 99.74% success but only 93.26% residential share on average, the lowest of my picks; DataImpulse’s separate Premium pool ($5/GB) averaged 97.59%. Targeting by city, ZIP or ASN costs extra.

Below 1 TB, $1/GB is the lowest price among the pools Proxyway measured; Rayobyte’s $0.70 tier undercuts it from 1,000 GB, and Evomi’s Core is cheaper but unmeasured.

Byteful: fast residential that never expires #

Best for residential scraping where speed matters and traffic shouldn’t lapse. Proxyway measured the fastest response (0.41 s), the highest residential share (98.68% on average) and the best score on real targets (81.23%).

Its residential page lists 10 GB for $32.50, 25 GB for $75 and 100 GB for $275, with traffic that never expires and a 1 GB free trial (verified 2026-11-12). Its title advertises “$1.75/GB”, which matches no visible tier.

The drawback: I couldn’t find a published refund policy. Its site also lists datacenter and static residential proxies, which I haven’t priced here.

SOAX: priced by the country you exit from #

Best for scraping through lower-cost countries. SOAX prices residential and mobile at one rate, set by the exit country’s tier: $5, $4 or $2 per GB on pay-as-you-go Sandbox, and $3, $2.25 or $1.20 on the $200 Builder plan (verified 2026-11-12). The US and Germany are Tier 1.

Proxyway measured 99.78% residential success and 0.89 s, and SOAX posted the best US success rate in the test (99.92%). The drawbacks are the terms: no free trial, credits expire after 60 days, and payments are “generally non-refundable”.

Rayobyte: datacenter at volume, with a free trial #

Best for datacenter traffic at volume, with a free trial on most products and no card required. Rotating datacenter on its pricing page is pay-as-you-go down to $0.23/GB with premium domains included, semi-dedicated datacenter IPs in the US and Canada are $1 each for 5 to 99, and static ISP IPs are $5 each (verified 2026-11-12).

Premium Residential is $3.50/GB for 1 to 49 GB, $2 for 50 to 249 GB and $1.50 for 250 to 999 GB, so 100 GB costs $200. Proxyway measured its residential network at 98.02% success but 1.86 s, the slowest of the providers here.

Its “from $0.0095/GB” headline belongs to Scale Residential, monthly plans for verified businesses after a compliance review, with no geo-targeting and one concurrent request per $1 of plan. That isn’t comparable to targeted per-GB plans, so I wouldn’t price a scraper against it.

Evomi: the tightest budget for residential #

Best for the smallest residential bill, if you accept a pool nobody has measured. Core residential is $49 a month for 100 GB ($0.49/GB), or $0.99/GB pay-as-you-go with a 15 GB minimum; datacenter is $0.45/GB and ISP from $1 per IP, per its pricing page (verified 2026-11-12).

Proxyway measured Evomi’s Premium pool ($3.98/GB), not Core: 99.58% success and 0.79 s. The Core pool has no independent data I could find, and the refund policy (30 days, under 1 GB or 10% used) excludes pay-as-you-go and ISP.

One practitioner, the founder of ScrapeCreators, wrote in 2025 that Evomi was “Not worth the headache, no matter how cheap”. That’s one person’s account, not data, but it’s the only first-hand view I found.

IPRoyal: non-expiring packs and mobile by the day #

Best for small residential packs that never expire, and for renting a mobile port by the day. Residential is 1 GB for $7 on subscription or $7.35 pay-as-you-go, and 10 GB for $52.50 or $55.10; the cards stop at 10 GB, so no 100 GB price is published (pricing, verified 2026-11-12).

Datacenter starts at $1.57 per proxy for 30 days, ISP at $1.80 for 24 hours or $2.70 for 30 days, and a dedicated mobile port at $10.11 a day. Its terms cap each datacenter and ISP proxy at 100 GB a month, with throttling of up to 95% beyond that (§8.2).

The drawback is the weakest independent numbers here: Proxyway measured 96.11% residential success, the lowest among providers still operating, and 86.77% residential share on the global pool. Trustpilot has also withheld its TrustScore over a guideline breach.

Does 99% success mean your scraper will work? #

No. Proxyway’s 99% figures come from a small CDN-hosted test page. When it pointed residential pools at Amazon, Google and Instagram, the median success rate fell to 74.43%, with Byteful best at 81.23%; mobile pools managed a 75.26% median (Proxyway).

Google is the extreme case. ScrapingBee’s public test ran 400 requests per provider through six raw mobile pools, Oxylabs and Decodo among them, and every one scored 0% on usable Google results while Amazon and Instagram came in at 99 to 100%.

Weigh that source: ScrapingBee sells a scraping API, its co-founder wrote the post, and it belongs to the same Source group as Oxylabs and Decodo. The test dates aren’t published, but the raw data is on GitHub.

When should you skip proxies? #

Skip raw proxies when your success rate stays low after you’ve fixed request rate, headers and browser fingerprint. At that point more GB won’t help; a tool that handles retries, rendering and fingerprints will. My web unblocker picks and scraping APIs vs proxies guide cover that step.

For Google results specifically, use a SERP API. It returns parsed results at a per-search price, and you never manage an IP; my SERP API comparison covers the options.

What will you pay at checkout? #

The price per GB isn’t the cash you hand over. Minimum packs, monthly plans, expiry rules and fees decide that, and they differ more between providers than the headline rates do. Verified 2026-11-12.

DataImpulse shows the gap clearly: $1/GB, but the smallest repeat purchase on its cards is $50. IPRoyal’s fee is the one I’d ask about before paying, because its terms allow a fixed or percentage fee that’s only shown at order.

For exact cash at 1 GB, 100 GB and 1 TB, see my residential price study; for how per-GB, per-IP and per-request billing differ, read proxy pricing models. Which trials are actually free is in my residential proxy free trial guide.

Should you buy from two providers? #

Probably, once scraping matters to your business. In the State of Web Scraping 2026 survey by Apify and The Web Scraping Club (December 2025, “hundreds” of professionals), 43.1% bought from two or three proxy providers, 25.9% from one and 12.1% from four or five. That’s a self-selected sample from a scraping-platform vendor, not a market census.

A fallback protects you when one pool has a bad week or a target blocks one provider’s ranges. Here are the pairs I’d use:

• General residential: Decodo, with Byteful as fallback.
• Large scale: Oxylabs, with Bright Data as fallback if you’re a verified company.
• Budget residential: DataImpulse, with Webshare as fallback.
• Datacenter: Webshare, with Rayobyte as fallback.

If you want the two suppliers to be different companies, don’t pair Oxylabs, Decodo and Webshare with each other: all three sit in the Source group. Source says each runs independently, but a sister company isn’t much of a hedge.

Who’s missing, and why? #

Three names you may expect are left out: NetNut, whose domain shows an FBI seizure notice; Bright Data’s mobile proxies, which it no longer sells; and Nimble, whose raw proxies are KYC-only with no public price.

NetNut. Some ranking pages still list it. Its public domain, netnut.io, was still headed “Seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation” when I checked on November 12, 2026. That is an observed page state; authenticity, the underlying court order and legal outcome were not independently established in this research.

KrebsOnSecurity reported on July 2, 2026 that the FBI and IRS-CI had seized NetNut domains tied to the Popa botnet of at least two million devices. Google’s threat intelligence team said Play Protect disabled apps carrying NetNut SDKs.

Bright Data mobile. Bright Data no longer lists or prices a mobile product: its mobile URL lands on a general proxy page and its mobile pricing URL returns a 404. Its release notes from October 24, 2026 retired mobile proxies for “immediate access” accounts, with deletion on November 9, 2026.

Nimble. Its raw proxy gateway still exists, but its docs say the “Proxy service requires KYC verification and is not available for self-service accounts”, and there’s no public per-GB price to compare.

Where do these IPs come from? #

Datacenter and ISP IPs come from hosting companies and ISPs. Rotating residential and mobile IPs mostly come from software on real devices, and the FBI warned in March 2026 that devices can join those networks with or without their owners knowing.

Each pick says its peers consent; none publishes an independent audit. Decodo says “our peers have full control over whether they want to participate” (sourcing page), Bright Data says its SDK “is enabled only after the user opted-in” (trust center), and Webshare describes “Tier A model proxies and ISP providers” (sourcing page).

Ask any residential vendor which apps carry its SDK, what users see when they opt in, what they’re paid and how they leave. My ethical residential proxies guide has the full checklist, and my residential proxy picks compare every major provider’s consent claim.

Does a proxy give you permission to scrape? #

No. A proxy changes the IP your requests come from; it doesn’t give you rights to a site’s data or permission for how you reuse it. Robots.txt doesn’t either: RFC 9309 says “These rules are not a form of access authorization.”

Provider terms add their own limits on top, so read the acceptable-use rules before you point a pool at a target. For the legal side, see is web scraping legal? and is robots.txt legally binding?.

Which one should you pick? #

• Most scraping jobs: Decodo. Fallback: Oxylabs.
• Large-scale residential: Oxylabs, if non-refundable plans and lapsing credits are acceptable. Fallback: Decodo.
• Cheap datacenter IPs: Webshare, starting on its free 10 proxies. Fallback: Rayobyte.
• Stable ISP IPs: Decodo’s dedicated ISP. Fallback: Webshare.
• Residential on a budget: DataImpulse. Fallback: Byteful, if speed or residential share matters more.
• Cheaper exit countries: SOAX.
• The tightest residential budget: Evomi Core, knowing it’s unmeasured.
• Small packs that never expire, or mobile by the day: IPRoyal.
• Mobile IPs: Oxylabs or Decodo; see my mobile proxy roundup.
• A verified company that wants vetted supply: Bright Data.
• Heavily protected sites: a web unblocker. Google results: a SERP API.

FAQ

Which proxies are best for web scraping?

For most scraping jobs I'd pick Decodo: it sells all four proxy types, scored 99.92% success in Proxyway's 2026 residential test, and offers a 14-day money-back window. Oxylabs is my pick at large scale, and Webshare for cheap datacenter IPs.

Do I need residential proxies, or will datacenter do?

Start with datacenter if your targets allow it, because it costs a fraction of residential. Move to residential only when sites block hosting IP ranges; Webshare gives you 10 datacenter proxies free to find out.

Rotating or static proxies for scraping?

Rotating suits broad crawling, where each request can use a new IP. Static (ISP) proxies suit logins and multi-step sessions that need the same IP for days; Decodo sells 3 dedicated ISP IPs for $9.99 a month.

How much do scraping proxies cost?

On November 12, 2026, datacenter started free (Webshare, 10 proxies) or at $2.99 for 100 proxies a month. Rotating residential ran from $0.49/GB (Evomi Core, on a $49 monthly plan) and $1/GB (DataImpulse) to $8/GB (Bright Data list), with Decodo at $275 for 100 GB.

Do proxies work for scraping Google?

Not reliably. In ScrapingBee's public test, every raw mobile proxy pool scored 0% on usable Google results. For Google, a SERP API that returns parsed results is the better tool.

Should I use two proxy providers?

Many teams do. In Apify's December 2025 survey, 43.1% of respondents bought from two or three proxy providers and 25.9% from one. A primary plus a fallback from a different company protects you from one pool's bad day.

Is the price per GB what I'll actually pay?

No. Minimum packs, monthly plans, expiry and fees change the cash. DataImpulse charges $1/GB but its Basic pack is $50, and IPRoyal's terms allow a service fee at payment.

Does a proxy make scraping legal?

No. A proxy changes your IP; it doesn't give you permission to access a site or reuse its data. RFC 9309 says robots.txt rules are not a form of access authorization either.
