Oxylabs is one of the biggest proxy networks in the world, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. What we offer is narrower and, for a specific kind of buyer, better: your own single-tenant 4G/5G carrier modem instead of a slice of a shared pool, done-for-you data at a flat price, and a principal engineer you talk to directly - same day, no sales call.
Around 20M mobile IPs. Coverage in roughly 140 countries. ISO certifications and DPAs that clear enterprise procurement. Named account managers. And aggregate benchmark success rates, measured across the whole network, that a solo shop simply cannot match. We concede the raw IP volume, the certifications and the account managers without a fight.
Country coverage is a narrower gap than it used to be: our owned dedicated modems sit in ~6 core countries, and our SDK peer network of real devices now reaches 100+ countries and growing. If you need their raw IP scale, TB-scale per-GB pricing, compliance paperwork for a legal team, or a vendor your procurement department already knows - Oxylabs is the right tool, and you should go buy it. The rest of this page is for the buyer whose problem is shaped differently.
Not better across the board - different in three specific ways that matter on hard targets.
Same day, no sales call, no minimum-commitment ladder. We have one principal engineer, and we frame that as direct access, not a limitation. The person on the call is the person who builds and repairs your pipeline.
Your own real 4G/5G modem at $4/GB (down to $2.40 at volume), instead of a slice of a ~20M-IP shared SIM pool at roughly $9/GB (mid-2026 rates - verify). Nobody else exits through your IP, so its reputation is yours alone.
With Data Works the scraper is built, run and monitored for you - structured data lands in your inbox on a custom-quoted flat monthly retainer. You get rows, not credentials and good luck.
Pricing verified July 2026. Oxylabs figures are as of mid-2026 - verify current rates on their site.
We concede the big columns loudly and win the narrow ones. That is the whole strategy.
| Oxylabs | Proxies.sx | |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile pool size | ~20M IPs - they win on raw volume | 500+ physically-owned modems + an SDK peer network of over 1M IPs - smaller, but the modem exits are single-tenant, so the IP is yours alone |
| Geo coverage | ~140 countries | Owned dedicated modems in ~6 core countries + SDK peers across 100+ countries and growing |
| Compliance & procurement | ISO certifications, DPAs, enterprise process - they win | No certification wall to show; an auditable, physically-owned supply chain instead |
| Success rates | Aggregate network benchmarks a solo shop cannot match | Proven on your specific target with a paid pilot before you commit |
| Who you talk to | Named account managers | The principal engineer building it - same day, no sales call |
| Mobile pricing | ~$9/GB on a shared pool (mid-2026, verify) | $4/GB down to $2.40 at volume, dedicated modem, GB never expire |
| IP tenancy | A slice of a shared SIM pool | Your own carrier modem - single tenant |
| Buying model | Tiered plans and minimum commitments; reviewers note an awkward mid-tier gap around ~50GB/mo | Flat per-GB self-serve, or a custom-quoted flat done-for-you retainer - the ~50GB/mo band is exactly our lane |
Verified July 2026. Competitor figures are as of mid-2026 and change - verify current Oxylabs pricing and coverage before you decide.
If that is your list, go to Oxylabs by name. It is the right tool, and we will tell you the same thing on a call.
Reviewers note Oxylabs' awkward mid-tier gap around ~50GB/mo - if your usage is stranded there, that band is exactly what our flat pricing was built for. Talk to us.
No, and we will not pretend it is. Oxylabs has roughly 20M mobile IPs, coverage in around 140 countries, ISO certifications and DPAs, and named account managers. If you need that raw IP scale or that paperwork, pick Oxylabs. We are the alternative for a narrower job: 500+ physical 4G/5G modems we own and operate as dedicated single-tenant exits in ~6 core countries, plus an SDK peer network of real devices across 100+ countries and growing (over 1M IPs in total), flat-price done-for-you data, and a principal engineer you talk to directly.
As of mid-2026, Oxylabs mobile runs roughly $9/GB on a shared pool - verify their current rates before deciding. Ours is $4/GB, dropping to $2.40/GB at volume, on a dedicated carrier modem that only you use. GB never expire and endpoints are free.
With a 20M-IP shared pool you get a slice of IPs that other customers are also using, and their behavior affects your reputation. With us, the exit is your own real carrier modem - nobody else touches it, so the IP reputation you build is yours alone. That is the difference that matters on hard anti-bot targets.
One principal engineer - the person who builds and runs your pipeline. Same day, no sales call, no minimum-commitment ladder. We have one principal engineer and we frame that as direct access, not a limitation. Oxylabs gives you a named account manager, which is genuinely valuable at enterprise scale; it is just a different thing.
Reviewers note an awkward mid-tier gap in Oxylabs plans around ~50GB/mo - too big for the entry tiers, too small for enterprise pricing to kick in. If your usage is stranded in that band, that is exactly the lane our flat per-GB pricing and managed retainer were built for. Talk to us.
That is far less likely than it used to be. Our owned dedicated modems sit in ~6 core countries, and our SDK peer network of real devices reaches 100+ countries and growing - real in-country, residential-grade exits. If your specific market or the scale you need still sits outside us, we will say so on the scoping call and point you to Oxylabs by name. Our lane is hard targets, delivered as data.
Yes - that is Data Works. We build, run and monitor the scraper on our own dedicated carrier modems and deliver structured data on a custom-quoted flat monthly retainer. Before you commit, we run a paid pilot on your hardest target and show you real rows. If we cannot crack it, you do not proceed.
From running it yourself on our proxies to a fully managed pipeline - honestly compared.
Best when: You have engineers and 1-2 easy targets
Best when: Light, unprotected pages at low volume
Best when: 1-3 hard, defended targets like a hard target
Point us at your hardest site. We prove it in a paid pilot on a dedicated carrier modem and show you real rows before you commit. If we cannot crack it, you do not proceed - and if Oxylabs really is the better fit, we will say so.
