Oxylabs overview
Direct competitor to Bright Data. Strong emphasis on ready-made data APIs over plain proxies.
Pros and cons
+ Strengths
- SERP API and E-commerce Scraper API bundled
- Stable under enterprise-scale loads
- Account manager on plans from $99
− Limitations
- No pay-as-you-go in residential
- Strict KYC, issues with iGaming
- High entry point
Best for: steady SERP/e-commerce pipelines, teams that need an SLA.
Skip if: you're a small client — self-serve plays second fiddle to sales here.
Standout: the uule-localised SERP API is one of the two most accurate on the market.
Market position
Oxylabs is Bright Data's main challenger in the enterprise segment, with a pool that grew to 175M+ IPs in 2026. A strong SERP/Scraper-API line-up and best-in-class support with dedicated account managers. PAYG from $4/GB undercuts Bright Data slightly.
What's genuinely good
Stability under load: in our runs Oxylabs holds latency flatter than most competitors on long sessions. The SERP API with uule localisation is one of the two best on the market. Their legal team publicly leads the ethical-scraping conversation — a real argument for corporate buyers.
Weak spots
The self-serve experience still plays second fiddle to enterprise sales: a small client can find it hard to just buy and start. Pricing is scattered across products, and the best capabilities (custom pools, SLA) only come through sales calls.
Who it's for
Data teams with steady SERP/e-commerce pipelines, enterprises that need an SLA, and anyone who needs deep geo coverage with guaranteed quality. For hobby projects it's expensive and bureaucratic.
