The honest Oxylabs alternative
Oxylabs built a great network — for Fortune 500 buyers. If you're tired of $500 minimums, sales-gated pricing, and account managers who disappear after onboarding, Rainproxy gives you the same network quality with a credit card and a dashboard.
Enterprise quality without the enterprise contract.
Why teams leave Oxylabs
Oxylabs gates serious bandwidth behind enterprise contracts. We start at $1.50/GB with no minimum.
Their pricing page hides real numbers behind a 'talk to sales' wall. Ours is public and instant.
KYC, calls, NDAs — just to test. We let you trial 250 MB free when you sign up with Google.
Annual contracts with overage penalties. We're prepaid bandwidth, used at your pace, never expires.

FAQ — switching from Oxylabs
Is Rainproxy really cheaper than Oxylabs?+
For most workloads, yes — typically 40–60% cheaper because there's no enterprise tax. We win on small-to-mid volume specifically.
Do you match Oxylabs' IP pool size?+
We expose 85M+ residential IPs versus their claimed 100M+, but on real-world targets our success rate is higher because of fresher rotation.
Can I get a dedicated account manager?+
Yes — included on plans over $500/mo. Below that, our chat support averages <2 min response, which most teams prefer.
Try Rainproxy on us — 250 MB with Google sign-up.
Run the same scraper through both networks. If we don't win on success rate and price, you owe us nothing.
