IPProxy vs Webshare
Webshare is built around monthly plans and a free tier of 10 shared proxies plus 1 GB of bandwidth, with no credit card and no time limit. Its pricing page states that the dollar amounts shown there are shared-proxy prices; private and dedicated access cost more. IPProxy only sells dedicated static IPs and prepaid residential traffic — there is no free shared tier.
When IPProxy may fit
- You need a dedicated static ISP or datacenter IP and want to buy one address rather than a 20-IP monthly lot.
- You want prepaid residential traffic that is advertised as non-expiring, instead of a monthly GB allowance.
- You do not want a free shared-proxy plan and prefer a wallet checkout for paid products only.
When Webshare may fit
- You want to start with a free, no-card plan of 10 shared proxies and 1 GB per month.
- You are comfortable with monthly rotating-residential GB plans and, if you choose, annual billing (the pricing FAQ lists 30% off versus monthly).
- A shared datacenter or shared static-residential list price is enough for your use, and you accept that dedicated access is priced separately.

| Datacenter | Dedicated datacenter IPs, billed per IP and the same periods | “Proxy Server” plans (FAQ: datacenter), shared list prices from a 10-proxy free tier or 100 paid proxies; a separate dedicated-proxy page starts at 20 IPs |

Billing and purchase minimums
- Plans are monthly. Yearly billing is advertised at 30% off monthly. Refunds: within 2 days of payment, under published usage caps.
- The free plan is 10 shared proxies and 1 GB/month, no credit card, no time limit, per the pricing FAQ.
- The same FAQ states: “Shared proxies are used by multiple customers and are the lowest-cost option. They’re the prices shown on this page.” Private and dedicated cost more.
- Do not compare Webshare’s $0.0299/proxy shared datacenter rate, or $0.30/proxy static list rate, with IPProxy’s dedicated one-IP checkout quote.
Prices that can be compared
Prices below are public list or checkout figures, not a promise that one provider is cheaper in every configuration. Compare the same product type, period, and quantity. Marketing “from” prices are often volume or starting-from rates. Each site’s checkout is authoritative. Pool size, success rate, and uptime figures are official marketing claims and have not been independently audited here.

Static and datacenter — shared vs dedicated
| Offer | How to read it |
|---|---|
Webshare static residential list | From 20 proxies × $0.30 = $6/month on the pricing FAQ. Official FAQ: these are shared prices. |
Webshare Proxy Server (shared datacenter) | Paid plans from 100 proxies at $2.99/month ($0.0299/proxy). Free plan: 10 shared proxies. |
Webshare dedicated proxies | Dedicated-proxy page (read 2026-11-10): minimum 20 IPs, about $1.33/IP, monthly. Closer to a dedicated IP, but still a 20-IP monthly lot. |
IPProxy dedicated ISP or datacenter | $5.13/IP, $5.13 totalLive quote Example: 1 Native US IP × 30 days (live quote). Datacenter uses its own live quote for one dedicated IP. Neither should be lined up with Webshare shared list prices. |

Coverage, protocols, and sessions
Official marketing claims below have not been independently audited.
- Rotating residential marketing (2026-11-10 product page) advertised 80M+ IPs, 195 countries, HTTP/SOCKS5, and country/city/state/ZIP/ASN targeting. Those are official claims.
- Some targets may require KYC, according to Webshare residential FAQ material reviewed on 2026-11-10.
- IPProxy documents HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 and country/state/city targeting in Help. It does not publish ZIP or ASN username flags in that Help.
Webshare describes rotating residential for large rotating pools and static residential for long sessions. IPProxy use-case pages cover scraping, SEO, ads, social, price monitoring, and research.
