Oxylabs is a premium enterprise proxy provider with a 100M+ IP pool and strong tooling. But its public pricing is subscription-first: the entry residential plan starts around $6/GB on a $30/month tier, and the headline $2.50/GB rate only unlocks at a $2,500/month commitment. For solo developers and small teams, that structure means paying enterprise overhead for a commodity resource.

Oxylabs makes sense for enterprises that want dedicated account management, custom SLAs, and the broader scraping product line. If you mainly need quality rotating residential IPs metered fairly, Roam delivers that at a fraction of the cost.
Roam residential is a flat $2/GB pay-as-you-go. Oxylabs' entry subscription works out around $6/GB (on a $30/month plan), and matching Roam's rate requires committing $2,500/month for 1TB. For small and mid-size usage Roam is roughly 3× cheaper.
