Roam
Oxylabs alternative

A simpler, cheaper
Oxylabs alternative

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.

Quick verdict: Roam gives you rotating residential proxies at a flat $2/GB pay-as-you-go with no subscription and a balance that never expires — plus datacenter ($0.80/GB), mobile 4G/5G ($9/GB) and static residential IPs ($4/IP/mo) on the same wallet.

Why people switch to Roam

$2/GB from the first GB

Roam's flat rate is a third of Oxylabs' entry tier — and you don't need a $2,500/month commitment to get a low rate.

No subscription clock

Oxylabs plans renew monthly whether you used the traffic or not. Roam balance sits there until you use it — no expiry, no renewal.

Start in minutes

No plan selection, no procurement conversation. Email signup, top up any amount, credentials issued instantly.

When Oxylabs still makes sense

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.
