When to pick ProxyOmega

  • You want infrastructure access, not a managed scraping API.
  • Your spend pattern is monthly-recurring, not quarterly committed.
  • You prefer to write your own parsing layer and own the data flow end-to-end.
  • You need crypto or other non-card payment options.

When to pick Oxylabs

  • You want a managed SERP, e-commerce or real-estate scraping API and are willing to pay for parser maintenance.
  • Your team values vendor-side compliance documentation and a contracted SLA.
  • You have high enough volume to negotiate a committed-tier per-GB rate.
  • You are migrating from an internal scraping team and want to offload the maintenance burden.

What you actually buy from each vendor

Oxylabs sells two related but distinct things: raw residential bandwidth and a family of managed scraping APIs (SERP, E-Commerce, Web Scraper). The APIs handle headers, retries, parsing and IP rotation on Oxylabs’ side, which is why they cost more per call than the underlying residential traffic.

ProxyOmega sells only infrastructure: residential ports, mobile carrier IPs, datacenter and IPv6. You build the scraping logic; the provider gives you clean, rotating egress. If you already have a working scraper, paying for someone else’s parser is wasted spend.

Pricing: per-GB vs flat unlimited

Oxylabs’ residential pricing is metered per gigabyte, with the public entry rate around $8/GB and committed tiers that lower the effective rate. For seasonal workloads (e.g. Black Friday price monitoring), the per-GB model can pencil out cleanly. For continuous workloads, it tends to surprise the finance team.

ProxyOmega’s entry Budget Unlimited tier is $51.99/month with no bandwidth meter. The trade-off is the per-port speed cap, which is what makes flat pricing sustainable. For most teams running 24/7 scrapers, that ceiling is well above what their workload demands.

Targeting and pool

Oxylabs publishes a 100M+ IP pool with country, state, city and ASN targeting. That depth is genuinely useful for SERP localisation and city-level price checks.

ProxyOmega offers country selection on Budget Unlimited and full state, city and ASN granularity on the Platinum tier, with a large rotating residential pool. For workloads that do not require neighbourhood-level granularity, the difference is invisible in production.

Support and onboarding

Oxylabs self-serve is straightforward, but anything above entry tier involves a sales conversation, KYC and contract review. Enterprise customers get a dedicated account manager and structured SLAs.

ProxyOmega keeps onboarding self-serve at every tier. Live chat handles the same incidents an account manager would, and customers who need an invoice or wire transfer can request it without changing plan.

Frequently asked questions

Does Oxylabs offer unlimited bandwidth?

Oxylabs’ residential product is metered per gigabyte. They do not currently advertise an unlimited-bandwidth residential SKU comparable to ProxyOmega’s Budget Unlimited or Premium Unlimited.

Is the Oxylabs Scraper API worth paying for?

If you do not have an in-house scraping team and need clean parsed data for SERP, e-commerce or real estate, yes. If you already maintain your own scrapers, you are paying for a layer you do not need; raw residential ports are cheaper.

Can I switch from Oxylabs to ProxyOmega without rewriting code?

Yes. Both providers use standard HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxy auth. Switching is typically a host, port and credential change in your client.

Which has better global coverage?

Both cover the major markets. Oxylabs advertises a larger raw pool; ProxyOmega advertises 70+ countries on Budget Unlimited and 150+ on Premium. For most workloads, coverage parity is not the deciding factor.

Do either of them support sticky sessions?

Yes. Both support both rotating and sticky session modes.
