Webshare vs Infatica
We put Webshare and Infatica 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 Infatica (Residential & Datacenter, $8.00/GB) both target serious proxy users, but they win on different axes. Webshare is cheaper ($2.99/GB vs $8.00/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.
Infatica operates a residential & datacenter network of 15M+ IPs across 150 countries with 99.5% uptime. At $8.00/GB it sits above the value leader Cheapest-Proxies ($0.70/GB) for a broadly comparable result.
