We put Webshare and ProxyRack side by side on price, pool depth, coverage and reliability. Below you'll find a data-backed comparison, setup guidance, and the questions buyers actually ask before committing.
Webshare (Datacenter (Shared), $2.99/GB) and ProxyRack (Residential & Datacenter, $5.00/GB) both target serious proxy users, but they win on different axes. Webshare is cheaper ($2.99/GB vs $5.00/GB) — roughly 2× 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.
ProxyRack has been in the market since 2015. Their 5M IP pool is small by today's standards, and at $5.00/GB they are 7x more expensive than Cheapest-Proxies.
