Webshare alternative for mobile and residential proxies: Proxidize vs Webshare

Webshare is a strong choice for free datacenter proxies, low-cost static ISP proxies, and very small residential plans, but its current public lineup doesn’t include mobile proxies. Proxidize is the stronger fit if you need real mobile carrier IPs or lower-cost residential bandwidth with rollover, ISP targeting, and unlimited concurrency.

What's Different

Does Webshare offer mobile proxies?

Short answer: no. Here's exactly what Webshare's own pages and FAQ say.

Webshare’s public product lineup is rotating residential, static residential (ISP), and datacenter proxies. Its own FAQ, when comparing itself to providers that do sell mobile proxies, states plainly that mobile proxies aren’t currently part of its lineup. There is no mobile category, mobile pricing, or mobile targeting to compare against.

If your workload specifically needs a real cellular carrier IP — not a static ISP-registered address hosted on datacenter infrastructure — Webshare’s current products won’t cover it. This page reflects what’s publicly listed as of July 30, 2026.

Quick Verdict

The honest answer depends on what you're buying.

Neither provider is better at everything. Here is where each one genuinely wins.

Choose Proxidize if you need

  • Real mobile carrier IPs — a product category Webshare's current lineup doesn't include at all
  • Residential proxies from a flat $1/GB starting at 25 GB, with no minimum spend and unused bandwidth that rolls over
  • Residential ISP targeting alongside country and city targeting
  • Unlimited concurrent connections on mobile and residential plans
  • A 30-day evaluation window, conditional on staying under 10 GB of usage

Choose Webshare if you need

  • A permanent free plan: 10 datacenter proxies and 1 GB/month, no credit card required
  • A very small residential test purchase — plans start at 1 GB for $3.50
  • Static residential (ISP) proxies you keep for the life of the plan, from $0.30/proxy
  • Low-cost datacenter proxies, from about $0.0299/proxy
  • Lighter, risk-based verification instead of upfront KYC on every account

Cost Calculator

What would your monthly proxy bill be?

Pick a product, drag the slider to your monthly data usage. Proxidize prices come from our live pricing. Webshare has no mobile product to compare, so the mobile view shows Proxidize only. The residential view compares against Webshare's rotating residential plans specifically — its static residential (ISP) proxies are priced per proxy, not per GB, and aren't part of this calculator.

You’d save $125/month (56%) with Proxidize at this volume.

Webshare’s rotating residential plans are volume-tiered per-GB, where the rate drops as usage goes up, so the fair comparison is the tier you’d actually buy. This doesn’t include Webshare’s static residential (ISP) proxies, which are priced per proxy instead of per GB. Webshare pricing verified July 30, 2026; check their live pricing. Webshare also offers annual billing at a further-reduced effective rate.

Feature by Feature

Proxidize vs Webshare at a glance.

Every claim below comes from each provider's public pages. Where a provider doesn't publish something, we say so instead of guessing. Webshare sells two different residential products: rotating residential (priced per GB, compared below) and static residential/ISP (priced per proxy, its own row further down) — we keep the two separate rather than blending their pricing.

Verified July 30, 2026. Both providers change pricing and features, so check the live pages before deciding. Rows above labeled “rotating residential” compare against Webshare’s per-GB rotating residential plans specifically — Webshare’s static residential (ISP) proxies are a separate product priced per proxy, covered in its own row.

Use Case Fit

Which provider fits your job?

Comparing vendors in the abstract is pointless. The right answer depends on what you're actually doing, so here's our honest read, use case by use case.

Real cellular carrier IPs

Better fit: Proxidize

Webshare's current public lineup doesn't include mobile proxies at all, so this isn't a close call.

Residential traffic from 25 GB to 3,000+ GB per month

Better fit: Proxidize

Proxidize's flat $1/GB beats every Webshare residential tier we checked at directly comparable monthly volumes — $100 vs $225 at 100 GB, for example.

A tiny, low-cost residential test

Better fit: Webshare

Webshare's smallest residential plan starts at 1 GB for $3.50, below Proxidize's 25 GB minimum.

Zero-cost proxy testing with no card on file

Better fit: Webshare

Webshare's free plan (10 datacenter proxies, 1 GB/month) is permanent and needs no credit card; Proxidize has no free tier, only free sign-up.

A stable, static IP identity you keep long-term

Better fit: Webshare

Webshare's static residential (ISP) proxies hold the same IP for the life of the plan; Proxidize doesn't publicly offer a static/ISP product yet.

Low-cost datacenter proxies at scale

Better fit: Webshare

Webshare publishes dedicated datacenter pricing from about $0.0299/proxy; Proxidize has no datacenter product.

Residential ISP-level targeting

Better fit: Proxidize

Proxidize documents country, city, and ISP targeting; Webshare's rotating residential targeting is country and city only.

Avoiding upfront identity verification

Better fit: Webshare

Webshare uses risk-based verification and doesn't require KYC unless activity looks suspicious; Proxidize requires KYC from every customer.

A longer window to evaluate before committing

Better fit: Proxidize

Proxidize gives 30 days (under 10 GB usage) versus Webshare's 48-hour refund window.

FAQ

We've got answers.

Straight answers to what buyers comparing Proxidize and Webshare actually ask.

Talk to our team
No. Webshare's own FAQ states that mobile proxies aren't currently part of its lineup. Its public products are rotating residential, static residential (ISP), and datacenter proxies — there's no mobile category, mobile pricing, or mobile targeting to compare.
No. Webshare's static residential (ISP) proxies are IP addresses registered to internet service providers but hosted on datacenter infrastructure, static for the life of the plan, at up to 1 Gbps. They aren't cellular 4G/5G connections. Proxidize mobile proxies run on real mobile carrier networks with city and carrier targeting.
For residential proxies at 25 GB and above, Proxidize's flat $1/GB is cheaper than every Webshare tier we checked: $25 vs $65 at 25 GB, $100 vs $225 at 100 GB, and $1,000 vs $1,500 at 1,000 GB. Below 25 GB, Webshare is the only option — its plans start at 1 GB for $3.50, under Proxidize's 25 GB minimum. For mobile, there's no Webshare pricing to compare since mobile isn't a Webshare product; Proxidize mobile is a flat $2/GB. Pricing changes, so verify both providers' live pages before buying.
Proxidize is stronger for buyers purchasing 25 GB or more who want a flat per-GB rate, ISP-level targeting, and unlimited concurrency. Webshare is stronger for very small purchases (from 1 GB), a larger advertised IP pool (80M+), and a permanent free datacenter tier alongside its residential product.
Yes, for datacenter proxies: 10 proxies and 1 GB of bandwidth per month, permanently, with no credit card required and no expiry date. Proxidize doesn't offer a free tier, but sign-up is free with no credit card and credentials are ready in under a minute.
Webshare's help center isn't fully clear on this. It documents that changing your plan resets bandwidth usage, and that canceling converts any unused subscription value into non-expiring account credit — but it doesn't publish what happens to unused bandwidth on a normal, unchanged monthly renewal. Proxidize residential bandwidth explicitly rolls over and doesn't expire.
Not by default. Webshare's FAQ says KYC isn't required unless suspicious activity is detected, though some restricted destination sites may still require a brief KYC step to unblock. Proxidize requires KYC verification from every customer, for every use case.
Webshare requires a refund request within 48 hours of purchase, with usage under 0.1 GB for rotating residential plans or under 1 GB for static residential/proxy server plans, and fewer than 1,000 proxies used; account credits themselves are non-refundable. Proxidize offers a 30-day window, conditional on staying under 10 GB of usage.
Webshare. It currently sells both, including a permanent free datacenter tier and static residential (ISP) proxies from $0.30/proxy with shared, private, or dedicated exclusivity. Proxidize's current public product focus is mobile and residential proxies; ISP and datacenter aren't offered yet.
Webshare has the easier zero-cost starting point: a permanent free datacenter plan (10 proxies, 1 GB/month) with no credit card. Proxidize doesn't have a free tier, but offers free, cardless sign-up and a 30-day money-back window (under 10 GB usage) once you're on a paid plan.
Product breadth versus focus and price. Webshare sells three proxy types — rotating residential, static residential/ISP, and datacenter — with a permanent free tier and very small entry plans. Proxidize sells real mobile carrier IPs (which Webshare doesn't offer at all) and residential proxies at a flat, lower per-GB rate from 25 GB up, with ISP targeting, bandwidth rollover, and unlimited concurrency.
No. Both are self-serve. Proxidize plans have credentials ready in under a minute with no credit card and no monthly minimum. Webshare also signs up without a credit card, including its free datacenter plan.
