Overview
Oxylabs is a Lithuanian-founded web intelligence platform established in 2015, providing enterprise-grade proxy infrastructure and web scraping solutions to over 15,000 clients globally. Its core offering spans a 177M+ IP residential proxy network covering 195+ countries, alongside datacenter, ISP, and mobile proxies. Higher-order products include an AI-powered Web Unblocker, a Web Scraper API with self-healing parser presets and OxyCopilot AI assistance, a Headless Browser, and an AI Studio suite enabling natural-language-driven data collection. Oxylabs also supplies custom and ready-to-use web datasets for AI training and business intelligence. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and a founding member of the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative, the company positions itself on compliance, IP quality, and scale. In June 2025, Oxylabs Group acquired ScrapingBee in an eight-figure deal.
Oxylabs delivers a vertically integrated web data acquisition stack: a connection layer (residential, datacenter, ISP, mobile, SOCKS5 proxies), an access layer (AI-powered Web Unblocker, Headless Browser), a scraping layer (Web Scraper API, Fast Search API, AI Studio with OxyCopilot), and a data layer (custom and pre-built datasets). The platform targets AI training pipelines, RAG applications, e-commerce intelligence, SEO, ad verification, and cybersecurity. Following the 2025 acquisition of ScrapingBee, Oxylabs Group spans enterprise infrastructure and developer-direct scraping APIs.

G2 Spring 2025 named it a Grid Leader for proxy networks and data extraction.
Pricing
Oxylabs uses bandwidth-based and per-IP pricing models across products. Residential Proxies start at $4/GB (Pay As You Go) with monthly subscriptions from ~$45.50/mo (Micro, ~11.5 GB) up to $2,000/mo (Corporate); annual billing yields a 10% discount. Datacenter Proxies start at $12/mo for 10 shared IPs (unlimited bandwidth) or $50/mo for 77 GB on bandwidth plans; Dedicated Datacenter Proxies start at $6.75/mo for 3 IPs. ISP Proxies start at approximately $1.60/IP. Mobile Proxies are priced at approximately $5.4/GB. Web Scraper API is billed per result; unsuccessful 5xx/6xx requests are not charged. Custom enterprise plans are available. Free trials exist for most products.
Limitations
- Residential and mobile proxies carry premium pricing ($4/GB+ for residential; $5.4/GB for mobile), which reviewers flag as high relative to budget-focused alternatives.
- A significant subset of websites are restricted on the residential and ISP proxy networks (e.g., banking, government, streaming, Apple, and some Google domains), requiring additional KYC approval to unlock.
- New account signups are subject to KYC verification that some users find intrusive or experience as a broken/friction-heavy onboarding flow.
- Billing complexity (plan transitions, legacy vs. feature-based pricing) has generated notable complaints.
- Pay-As-You-Go credits expire after 30 days and cannot be auto-renewed.
- Some Trustpilot reviewers cite slow live-chat resolution times.
