Webshare Pricing Breakdown: How Much Does It Really Cost in 2026?

Webshare does not have one starting price. It sells rotating residential traffic by the gigabyte, static residential or ISP proxies by allocated IP, and datacenter proxy servers by allocated IP. Datacenter and static ISP plans also have shared, private, and dedicated variants, while the free plan covers only shared datacenter proxies.

This guide separates those products and explains the payment behind each headline. It covers monthly and yearly commitments, bandwidth resets, concurrency, optional features, plan changes, account credits, refunds, and a matched residential-price comparison with Proxidize.

Quick Answer

Webshare's lowest-cost path is its free plan: ten shared datacenter proxies with up to 1GB per month. The smallest paid shared-datacenter plan is currently $2.99 per month for 100 proxies, static residential or ISP access starts at $6 per month for 20 shared proxies, and rotating residential access starts at a displayed $3.50 per month for 1GB.

Those figures buy different products. The free plan does not test residential traffic. Rotating-residential bandwidth resets every 30 days and does not roll forward. Yearly subscriptions are billed once for a 360-day term even though Webshare displays their monthly equivalent, and their bandwidth still resets every 30 days.

For raw rotating residential traffic, Webshare has the lower payment for a one-gigabyte test. Proxidize has a higher $25 starting payment but includes 25GB at $1/GB and rolls unused residential data forward. Webshare remains the direct fit when the buyer needs its currently available static ISP or datacenter products.

Key Takeaways

• Choose the Webshare product before comparing its price. Rotating residential is bandwidth-priced; static ISP and datacenter plans are primarily priced by allocated IP count, sharing level, and plan-wide bandwidth.
• The free plan is datacenter access, not a residential trial. It includes ten shared datacenter proxies and up to 1GB per month without a card.
• The rotating-residential grid currently displays $3.50 for 1GB, $27.50 for 10GB, $65 for 25GB, and $225 for 100GB per month. The same grid shows higher $7/GB reference totals; confirm the checkout and renewal price rather than assuming either figure will remain unchanged.
• Yearly pricing is a commitment, not a month-to-month charge. Webshare bills the yearly plan once every 360 days, while the public grid presents a monthly equivalent.
• Monthly bandwidth does not roll over. A plan change or cancellation can convert part of the unused subscription into account credits, but those credits are not preserved gigabytes and are calculated from the lesser of remaining time and bandwidth.
• All paid plans start with 500 account-wide concurrent requests. A paid High Concurrency feature raises the documented limit to 3,000 or more, but its price is not shown on the public Help Center page.
• Compare matched products. Proxidize can be compared directly with Webshare rotating residential access, but it does not currently replace Webshare's static ISP or datacenter products.

Methodology and disclosure: Proxidize publishes this article and competes with Webshare. We reviewed Webshare's pricing, product, API, and Help Center pages on September 18, 2026. Calculated annual payments are labeled as calculations. We did not access account-specific checkout totals, purchase every plan, obtain a custom quote, or run a matched performance benchmark. Prices, discounts, inventory, taxes, and account terms can change. For market-wide context, see the Proxy Pricing Index 2026.

Webshare Pricing at a Glance

The prices above were visible on Webshare's public pricing page and homepage during this review. They are entry configurations, not evidence that the plans have equivalent locations, access, session behavior, or usable-result rates.

What Are Webshare's Three Main Proxy Products?

Webshare sells three network categories, and each has a different pricing logic. Treating them as interchangeable produces misleading cost comparisons.

1. Rotating residential proxies: access to a shared residential pool through a gateway, billed by monthly bandwidth. This product supports rotating and requested sticky sessions plus detailed location selection.
2. Static residential or ISP proxies: server-hosted IPs registered to residential ISPs, allocated as a list and billed mainly by IP count. Shared, private, and dedicated variants have different exclusivity.
3. Proxy Server: Webshare's name for datacenter proxies. These are also allocated as a list, with shared, private, and dedicated variants.

The Webshare product documentation explains that static ISP and datacenter IPs are static by default, while optional replacement settings can refresh them. Rotating residential uses a pool and a gateway rather than a permanently allocated list.

Webshare did not list a mobile proxy product or a broad managed scraping API in the public catalog reviewed for this guide. If either is required, the buying decision extends beyond comparing Webshare's three existing price tables.

Webshare Rotating Residential Proxy Pricing

Webshare's rotating residential page currently starts at a displayed $3.50 for one gigabyte. Its public grid shows each current price beside a higher $7/GB reference total.

Monthly Rotating Residential Plans

The displayed price is the amount shown publicly during this review; the reference column is not the amount used in the article's cost comparisons. Buyers should confirm the live checkout, renewal amount, and any account-specific terms immediately before purchase.

Yearly Rotating Residential Plans

Webshare's yearly cards show a lower monthly equivalent. Its subscription-period documentation says the yearly plan is billed once for 360 days. The full-payment column below is therefore a calculation from the displayed monthly equivalent, not a separately quoted checkout total.

The commitment does not create one annual bandwidth balance. Webshare's renewal documentation says yearly-plan bandwidth resets every 30 days even though the subscription renews after 360 days. A 10GB yearly plan therefore provides up to 10GB in each 30-day cycle; unused allowance from one cycle does not become 20GB in the next.

What the Residential Price Includes

Webshare documents HTTP and SOCKS5 endpoints, a rotating mode, and requested sticky sessions from one minute to 24 hours. Its current Endpoint Generator guide supports:

• Country selection across 195 countries.
• Country plus one of state, city, or ZIP; state and ZIP are U.S.-only.
• ASN selection across the pool, which cannot be combined with a country.
• Rotating or sticky sessions.
• Up to 10,000 generated sticky endpoints in CSV, JSON, or TXT.

Those selector rules matter to price comparisons. A provider advertising country, city, ZIP, and ASN controls does not necessarily let the buyer combine all four, and available IP inventory can change as the pool refreshes.

Early Residential Cost Comparison: Webshare vs. Proxidize

This is the closest direct price comparison in the article. It compares published purchase amounts and allowances, not performance or usable-result rates.

Proxidize Residential Proxy pricing is $1/GB from a $25 monthly plan containing 25GB through the first 1TB. Its current documentation says unused residential data rolls forward. Proxidize requires KYC before use.

Webshare Static Residential and ISP Proxy Pricing

Webshare uses “Static Residential” and “ISP” for the same server-hosted product category. Its static residential page says the IPs are assigned by residential ISPs but hosted on server infrastructure. This is not the same network architecture as its rotating residential pool.

Shared Static ISP Monthly Prices

The public yearly cards show lower monthly equivalents, beginning at $4 for 20 shared static ISP proxies. A yearly buyer should confirm the full 360-day checkout amount, locations, bandwidth selection, and whether changing the plan later would reset the term.

Shared, Private, and Dedicated ISP Entry Prices

Webshare's static-proxy documentation warns that some IP-checking services can classify these server-hosted ISP addresses as hosting or datacenter IPs. Buyers should test the exact target and classification requirement instead of assuming the product name determines how every external database will label an IP.

Webshare Datacenter Proxy Server Pricing

Webshare calls its datacenter product “Proxy Server.” The lowest entry is the free plan, followed by shared, private, and dedicated paid configurations.

Free and Shared Datacenter Prices

The free-plan documentation says the ten proxies remain available without a trial deadline and receive up to 1GB each month. They are shared datacenter proxies and are not included in a paid plan. They can validate credentials, HTTP/SOCKS5 configuration, environment variables, and basic routing, but they cannot validate residential targeting or residential target behavior.

Private and Dedicated Datacenter Entry Prices

Webshare's sharing-level documentation separates shared, private, and dedicated plans by exclusivity. Paying more changes who else can use the allocated IP; it does not prove better results on every website. Target compatibility, locations, list size, replacement policy, and total bandwidth still need testing.

Bandwidth, Concurrency, and Add-On Costs

The base proxy count is not the whole Webshare configuration. Bandwidth, concurrency, location allocation, replacements, account users, IP authorization, and priority features can change the checkout total.

Bandwidth Is Plan-Wide and Resets Monthly

Webshare's bandwidth documentation says the allowance applies to the entire plan, not to each proxy. If the plan reaches its limit, its proxies stop working until the allowance resets or the plan changes.

The highest fair-use tier is a provider policy, not a promise of constant throughput. Confirm its current terms and the proxy-count requirement for the exact subtype at checkout.

Webshare also displays projected usage by extrapolating current activity. Ten gigabytes used on the first day can appear as roughly 300GB of projected monthly use. That projection is a forecast rather than a charge or measured total.

Concurrency Starts at 500 on Paid Plans

Webshare's concurrency documentation defines the limit as simultaneous requests across the account. Paid plans start at 500. This is an account-wide ceiling, not a separate 500-request allowance for every active plan. Buying another plan does not automatically create another independent allowance. Exceeding the applicable limit can return a client_connect_high_concurrency 429 error.

The paid High Concurrency feature is configured separately for a plan and raises the documented capacity to 3,000 or more based partly on proxy count. Webshare still documents concurrency enforcement across the account. If several plans use the feature, confirm the resulting account limit in the dashboard rather than adding the plan figures together. The Help Center gives approximate examples of 3,000 concurrent requests at 100 proxies, 10,000 at 1,000 proxies, and higher values for larger lists. It does not publish the add-on's dollar price, so obtain the current checkout total instead of presenting it as included.

This limit is not a recommended scraper worker count. Browser memory, target request rates, response time, retries, bandwidth, and application locks can become the binding constraint first. The broader web scraping with proxies guide explains how proxy capacity fits with application-level controls.

Other Features Can Change the Price

Webshare's current plan editor includes optional features such as High Concurrency, Priority Network, recurring proxy replacement, additional manual replacements, extra authorized IPs, and sub-users. Public Help Center pages explain their behavior but do not provide a complete public price list.

Paid plans include ten manual replacements each month. Webshare's replacement documentation says unused manual replacements reset rather than carry forward. Auto-Replace for unavailable, slow, or low-location-confidence IPs is documented as a separate no-charge feature, while recurring replacement is an optional plan setting.

Treat every selected feature as part of the plan quote. A low base proxy price can cease to be the relevant comparison when the workflow requires more bandwidth, higher concurrency, recurring replacements, several authorized source IPs, or additional users.

Monthly vs. Yearly Billing, Renewals, and Plan Changes

Webshare's monthly plans renew every 30 days. Yearly plans run for 360 days and are charged once per term. Both models reset bandwidth every 30 days.

Monthly Plans

• Renew every 30 days.
• Offer the lower commitment and simpler mid-cycle changes.
• Reset bandwidth at the beginning of each billing cycle.
• Can have auto-renewal disabled while remaining active until the end of the term.

Yearly Plans

• Are paid once for a 360-day term.
• Display prices as monthly equivalents on the public grid.
• Reset bandwidth every 30 days rather than creating one annual allowance.
• Require the buyer to reselect “Pay Yearly” when editing; otherwise the updated plan can switch to monthly billing.
• Can create a larger cash requirement when features or capacity are changed mid-term.

Webshare's plan-editing guide says an edit replaces the current configuration and resets the billing cycle and bandwidth usage. Increasing proxy count keeps existing proxies and adds more, while reducing the count removes enough proxies to reach the new total. Changing sharing subtype replaces the list because each subtype uses a separate pool.

Multiple products can coexist in one account, and Webshare aligns their renewal date. Bandwidth, replacements, and optional features such as High Concurrency are configured separately for each plan, but Webshare documents concurrency enforcement as account-wide. Adding another plan therefore does not automatically add another 500-request allowance. It can also move the renewal schedule and create a prorated charge or credit.

Cancellation, Account Credits, and Refunds

Turning off renewal, canceling immediately, and requesting a refund are three different actions. The financial result is not interchangeable.

Turning Off Auto-Renewal

Webshare's auto-renewal documentation says the plan remains usable through the current term. The active payment method is removed, and making another payment later can reactivate automatic renewal.

Canceling Immediately

Canceling switches the subscription to the free plan immediately. Webshare converts an eligible unused portion into account credits. Its account-credit documentation says the credit is based on whichever is lower: the remaining share of time or the remaining share of bandwidth.

For example, if half the term remains but only 10% of the bandwidth remains, the credit is based on the smaller remaining proportion. The two values are not added together. Credits do not expire, but they are non-refundable and are applied to future Webshare checkout totals. This is not the same as rolling unused gigabytes into the next cycle.

Requesting a Refund

Webshare's refund documentation requires all published eligibility conditions to be met:

• Request the refund within 48 hours of purchase.
• Keep usage below 1GB for Proxy Server or static residential plans.
• Keep rotating-residential usage below 0.1GB.
• Use fewer than 1,000 proxies in the subscription.

Cancellation does not automatically produce a refund. A support representative reviews eligibility. Approved refunds downgrade the account to the free plan, remove existing account credits, and remove the active payment method.

Account Verification and Restricted Targets

Webshare does not require identity verification for every account. Its verification documentation says verification can be requested for payment confirmation, use-case review, or activity involving rate-limited categories.

The rotating-residential restrictions page lists categories that may be restricted and says some access can require a compliance review. A buyer with a sensitive or heavily controlled target should confirm eligibility before paying. Purchasing more traffic does not override acceptable-use rules or target restrictions.

For legitimate scraping and automation, customers remain responsible for following applicable law, contractual obligations, and website terms. Use a representative authorized test rather than assuming the product description guarantees access.

Webshare vs. Proxidize Pricing

The direct price comparison is rotating residential traffic. Webshare's static ISP and datacenter plans do not have generally available one-for-one Proxidize replacements today. Proxidize instead adds U.S. mobile access through separate Per GB and Per Proxy models.

Product Coverage

How to Interpret the Residential Price Difference

The residential comparison table earlier in this guide shows cash and allowance differences, not comparative performance. Webshare has the lower entry for a one-gigabyte test. For a steady 10GB requirement under a full-year commitment, Webshare's current yearly price has the lower monthly equivalent, while Proxidize supplies 25GB each month and retains unused residential data. At the reviewed 25GB and 100GB levels, Proxidize's monthly public totals are lower than Webshare's monthly plans and Webshare's yearly monthly equivalents.

Webshare remains the better product match when the buyer specifically needs its static ISP or datacenter plans, a free datacenter integration test, or an annual 10GB residential commitment below Proxidize's recurring $25 payment. Proxidize is a strong fit when a self-managed collection team can accept the $25 entry, expects at least a 25GB allowance to be useful, values residential rollover, or needs U.S. mobile access.

How to Calculate Webshare's Real Cost for Web Scraping

The subscription payment is only one part of a collection budget. Keep the required output fixed and calculate:

Count retry bandwidth and compute once. If retries are already included in measured traffic and runner time, do not add the same expense again as a separate line.

For rotating residential, measure bytes transferred through the proxy and how much monthly allowance expires unused. For datacenter and static ISP plans, record the allocated proxy count, selected bandwidth, sharing level, replacements, concurrency features, and whether the target accepts that network type.

A small lawful pilot should track:

• Scheduled attempts and completed valid outputs.
• Target-facing retries and response sizes.
• Median and p95 time to a usable result.
• Wrong pages, challenges, timeouts, and parsing failures.
• Browser or runner compute.
• Operator setup and maintenance time.
• Provider charges, credits, reset dates, and unused allowance.

Do not treat a successful HTTP status as a usable result. Validate the page identity and required fields independently. The same principle applies when comparing raw proxies with a managed retrieval service; see Raw Proxies vs. Scraping APIs for the responsibility and cost model.

Final Verdict: Is Webshare Worth It?

Webshare is worth shortlisting when its product diversity matches the workload. The free shared-datacenter plan is useful for testing proxy plumbing. Its $2.99 paid shared-datacenter entry and $6 shared static ISP entry are accessible, while the one-gigabyte rotating-residential plan allows a small paid residential test without a large commitment.

The main pricing caveats are equally important. Rotating-residential bandwidth resets every 30 days, yearly prices require a 360-day payment, paid-plan concurrency starts at 500 account-wide requests, optional features can change checkout, and account credits are not bandwidth rollover. Private and dedicated plans also cost more because they change the sharing model, not because they guarantee a specific target result.

Proxidize is the stronger price fit in this comparison for many self-managed residential workloads at the reviewed 25GB and 100GB levels, especially when retained bandwidth matters. Webshare remains stronger when the buyer needs a smaller first purchase, an existing static ISP or datacenter product, or its free datacenter tier. Choose from the exact product, full payment, operating requirements, and measured cost per usable result.
