Oxylabs Pricing 2026: Residential, Web Unblocker and Scraper API Rates

Oxylabs residential proxies run from $6.00/GB on the $30/mo Starter plan down to $2.50/GB on the $2,500/mo Corporate tier, with Basic at $5.00/GB and Advanced at $4.00/GB in between — as displayed on the Oxylabs pricing page in July 2026. Web Unblocker is a separate per-GB meter at $9.40 down to $5.00/GB, with its three cheapest tiers behind the pricing page's Enterprise tab, and Web Scraper API bills per result from $0.25 per 1,000. The structural fact that shapes every Oxylabs budget: no pay-as-you-go per-GB rate is published, so the entry ticket is a monthly plan, not a metered top-up.

Oxylabs residential proxy pricing per GB

The gap between tiers is where the money goes. Between Basic (20 GB) and Advanced (125 GB) there is nothing — a team consuming 60 GB a month either pays $100 and tops up, or pays $500 for a plan it uses under half of. Oxylabs' top-up allowance is the intended answer, and it is worth pricing out explicitly before assuming the next tier up is cheaper.

Engineer's take (Hinata): The missing pay-as-you-go rate is not a footnote, it is the design of the product. Oxylabs wants a committed monthly relationship, and its rate card rewards exactly that. If your traffic is bursty — a weekly crawl, a seasonal price-monitoring job — you are paying for allowance you will not use every single month, and the effective rate you actually pay can be double the sticker. Measure consumed GB across a full cycle, not a peak week, before you pick a tier here.

Why the missing pay-as-you-go rate matters

Bright Data and Decodo both publish $4.00/GB with no commitment, and IPRoyal sells traffic that never expires. Oxylabs publishes neither. For an evaluation that means you cannot buy a small, honest sample of production traffic on a card and measure it; you request a trial through a contact form and wait.

For a budget it means the cheapest way to consume 3 GB from Oxylabs is the $30 Starter plan — an effective $10.00/GB for that month, not $6.00 — while the same 3 GB costs $12.00 from Bright Data's PAYG meter. That inversion holds all the way up until you reliably use most of a tier.

Oxylabs Web Unblocker pricing

Web Unblocker is billed per gigabyte in six monthly tiers, which puts it on the opposite meter from Bright Data's per-request Web Unlocker. Three of the six render on arrival; the other three sit behind the pricing page's Enterprise tab and were read from the served payload on 2026-09-05, which is where the $5.00/GB floor lives.

The WU40 code cut 40% for six months as displayed on 2026-07-17. Budget the regular rates: a six-month discount is a customer-acquisition tool, and the durable figures run from $9.40 down to $5.00 per GB across the six tiers. Server-side JavaScript rendering and CAPTCHA handling with automatic retry are included, and Oxylabs describes the billing as pay-only-for-successfully-extracted-data (vendor claim). A case study on the product page cites 98%+ success at $0.60 per 1K requests (vendor claim).

Whether per-GB beats Bright Data's $1.50 per 1K requests depends entirely on your average page weight — the break-even sits near 160 KB at the smallest Oxylabs tier against Bright Data's pay-as-you-go rate and moves with every pairing, and the arithmetic is worked through in our web unblocker comparison.

Oxylabs Web Scraper API pricing

The headline is "from $0.25 per 1,000 results", billed per successful result, and on the pricing page (read 2026-09-17) that floor is the Corporate tier's rate for Amazon: $2,000/mo for up to 8,000,000 results, on the Enterprise tab, behind a "Get an offer" button. Every plan card prices per target — Amazon, Google and everything else each carry their own rate — and "Successful results with JS" is a separate line, so JavaScript rendering is not bundled. The cheapest self-serve entry is Micro at $49/mo for up to 98,000 results: $0.50 per 1K on Amazon, $1.00 on Google, $1.15 on other sites and $1.35 with JS rendering; those step down to $0.40 / $0.80 / $0.95 / $1.25 on the $249/mo Advanced plan, and the Enterprise tab continues through Venture ($499/mo) and Business ($999/mo) to Corporate. When you model this, price your actual target on your actual tier — a floor quoted as a flat rate is the most common way scraping budgets come in low. Cross-product comparisons live in our scraping API vs proxy breakdown. If search results are the target, Oxylabs' per-search pricing is set against the other vendors' in our SERP API roundup.

How Oxylabs compares on price

Oxylabs is not the price leader at any volume in this set, and it does not try to be. What its rate card buys is an EWDCI-accredited sourcing posture, a documented compliance program, and a product line where the Scraper API, Web Unblocker and residential pool share one account and one support relationship. If price per gigabyte is the only variable, our pricing comparison points elsewhere; if procurement will ask who audits the IP sourcing, that answer is worth money.

Who this pricing suits

Oxylabs' rate card fits a team with steady, predictable monthly volume that will genuinely consume a tier, and one where compliance documentation carries weight in the purchasing decision — the EWDCI accreditation and published sourcing handbook are the things you are paying the premium for. The $30 Starter plan also makes it a reasonable entry point for a small team that wants a premium pool without a four-figure commitment.

It fits poorly if your traffic is bursty, if you need to buy 2 GB and measure before committing, or if cost per gigabyte at steady volume is the deciding number. Those cases are better served by a published pay-as-you-go rate.

Our methodology

Every price on this page was read from Oxylabs' own pricing pages on 2026-07-17 and recorded in our machine-readable pricing dataset, which also drives the calculators above — the tables and the prose read the same source, so they cannot drift apart. We run no independent performance benchmarks, so success rates and response times are labeled as vendor claims. This is a document-based comparison, and promotional rates in particular are volatile: check the retrieval date before quoting any figure here.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not just buy a gigabyte? Because no pay-as-you-go per-GB rate is published, on the product page or the pricing page, on either capture we have made. The entry ticket is the $30/mo Starter plan, so the smallest honest production test costs $30 rather than the price of the traffic you actually need. That is the single structural fact that shapes every Oxylabs budget on this page.

Is the $0.25 per 1,000 headline a rate I will pay? Almost certainly not. It is the Corporate tier's rate for Amazon — $2,000/mo, up to 8,000,000 results, on the pricing page's Enterprise tab behind a "Get an offer" button. Every plan prices per target, so the same plan charges a different rate for Amazon, for Google and for everything else, and JavaScript rendering is a separate line rather than bundled. At the $49/mo self-serve entry those four numbers are $0.50, $1.00, $1.15 and $1.35 per 1,000.

Why does the Web Unblocker ladder go lower than the page first shows? Three of its six rungs sit behind the pricing page's Enterprise tab and come from the served payload, so a plain visit — or an archived snapshot, or a no-JavaScript fetch — stops at $7.50/GB. The published floor is $5.00/GB at 700 GB. The visibility column above says which is which, because a figure you cannot see on arrival is a different kind of fact from one you can.

Should I size a plan around the WU40 discount? No. It cuts 40% for six months, and a six-month discount is a customer-acquisition tool rather than a price. Budget the regular rates and treat the promo as the first half-year's upside; the ladder above prints both so the comparison needs no arithmetic.
