Webshare vs GeoSurf
We put Webshare and GeoSurf side by side on price, pool depth, coverage and reliability. We benchmark each option on the metrics that decide success: anonymity, uptime, geo-coverage, and cost per GB.
Webshare (Datacenter (Shared), $2.99/GB) and GeoSurf (Residential, $9.00/GB) both target serious proxy users, but they win on different axes. Webshare is cheaper ($2.99/GB vs $9.00/GB) — roughly 3× the gap.
Webshare targets the budget segment with shared datacenter proxies. At $2.99/GB still 4x more expensive than Cheapest-Proxies with datacenter-only detection limitations.
GeoSurf focuses on ad verification with granular geographic targeting. Their 3.5M IP pool is tiny by modern standards and at $9.00/GB they charge 12x more than Cheapest-Proxies.

Our take: match the proxy type to the target, keep sessions sticky where you need continuity, and never overpay for capacity you won't use.
