Our verdict

Choose Oxylabs when enterprise proxy / scraper-API infrastructure with published self-serve floors is the job — not Bright Data by default, and not Plesk. Compare Bright Data for enterprise commit breadth; ScraperAPI for managed API credits; Apify for Actor workflows; ThorData for lower GB entry. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-18 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, host/GB rates and minimums on the vendor site before purchase.

Best for

  • Data teams that need enterprise residential/datacenter proxies with published self-serve floors
  • Buyers who want Web Scraper API and proxy lines from one vendor
  • Projects that need ISO 27001-certified collection infrastructure

Not ideal for

  • Hosting admins buying server panels (Plesk)
  • Teams that only need Actor marketplace compute (Apify)
  • Hobby experiments that fit ScraperAPI’s free credit tier

Bottom line

Residential Starter 5GB $30/mo ($6/GB). Web Scraper API from $49/mo. Datacenter free trial. Confirm live on oxylabs.io/pricing.
