The self-serve door. A published gigabyte, a small subscription, and a way out if the trial fails.

Oxylabsproxy review
Oxylabs sells residential as a subscription ladder, not a casual pay-as-you-go toggle. The smallest public rung cited for this catalog is $30 a month for 5 GB, $6 per GB. The 1 TB floor is cited at $2.50 per GB. You are paying for the company around the IPs.

Our reading
Who this provider is for
I send teams to Oxylabs when the buyer is a company that needs the paperwork, the targeting, and a vendor procurement already recognizes. I do not send a weekend project there to save money. At 5 GB they are more expensive than Decodo’s entry. At a terabyte the stickers converge. Buy the rung you will actually use.
Open it if Teams who need residential or a wider proxy platform with a contract, support, and targeting they can explain to security.
Skip it if You need ten gigabytes and a card checkout. The entry tax is the product you are refusing.
How we compare ratesStrengths
- A public ladder, so the volume discount is not only a rumor
- Enterprise targeting and a KYC story buyers can read
- The brand shows up in procurement shortlists for a reason
- Residential, datacenter, and mobile exist as separate products
Limits
- No pay-as-you-go cell I am willing to print. The entry is a subscription
- $6/GB at 5 GB is a real premium over Decodo’s $4 and over budget meters
- Datacenter and mobile prices are not the residential rung. They stay Quote here
- Pool and success figures on their marketing are not measurements of ours
Same standard, every vendor
What we checked on Oxylabs
Four checks. Not a score, and not a paid rank.
Door
Enterprise-shaped. You can see prices, and you should expect a more formal account than a $4 top-up.
Entry rate
Cited entry: $30/mo for 5 GB ($6/GB). Cited floor: $2.50/GB at 1 TB. No public PAYG in this sample.
What we refuse to score
Oxylabs does not get a success rate, a millisecond average, or a pool-size audit on this page. Those are claims. Your URL list is the test.
Money
Outbound buttons can be affiliate. They are labeled. The order is editorial. A cheaper cell does not automatically outrank a provider you can start and leave.

Published rates
Oxylabs rate sample
Published entry rates only. A blank price is a quote, not a zero.
The premium is the entry, not the floor
Oxylabs marketing likes the $2.50 floor because it ties Bright Data. Your first month is the 5 GB rung unless someone has already negotiated. Compare the rung you will sign, then talk about a terabyte.
How I would start
- 01
Pick the rung
5 GB if you are testing. Do not model the bill on the 1 TB line.
- 02
Separate the products
Residential, datacenter, and mobile do not share one price.
- 03
Match the buyer
If nobody at the company will own a vendor, Decodo is the simpler start.
