For residential and mobile traffic Loopway costs less ($1.10/GB at 10 GB against Oxylabs' $6/GB Starter rate, $0.57/GB at 1 TB against $2.50/GB on a $2,500 Enterprise plan) and is pay as you go, where Oxylabs sells monthly credit that expires each cycle, requires a KYC questionnaire from everyone and doesn't refund self-service purchases. Head to head, row by row 12 Loopway wins 1 Ties 3 Oxylabs wins Counted from the comparison table below.

[\[17\]](#source-17) Which one fits ## An honest verdict ### Choose Oxylabs if… 5 - You want proxies and scraping tools on one account: Oxylabs' monthly credit pays for its Web Scraper API, Web Unblocker and Agent Browser as well as proxies, none of which Loopway sells. - You need a very large residential pool (175M+ IPs claimed) or a 20M+ mobile pool across 140+ countries. - You run static ISP IPs in quantity: its shared ISP plans cost $1.50 to $1.10 per IP a month and undercut ours between about 14 IPs and 980 IPs. - You want dedicated ISP IPs from a specific ASN such as Comcast or Verizon. - You pay by PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or by wire through a sales team. ### Choose Loopway if… 6 - You want residential traffic for less: $1.10/GB at 10 GB and $0.57/GB at 1 TB, against Oxylabs' $6/GB Starter and $2.50/GB Enterprise rates. - Your usage varies month to month: our balance never expires, while Oxylabs credit and top-ups lapse at the end of each billing cycle. - You need mobile traffic: ours is $1.89/GB at 10 GB, against $7.50/GB on Oxylabs' Starter plan. - You'd rather not fill in a KYC questionnaire to start; we ask for verification only when a risk check calls for it. - You want to pay with crypto. - You need UDP on residential, IPv6 proxies or an unlimited-bandwidth plan.

At 10 GB we charge $1.10/GB against Oxylabs' $6/GB on the $30 Starter plan; at 1 TB we're at $0.57/GB against $2.50/GB on its Enterprise plan from $2,500 a month. Oxylabs' shared ISP proxies are cheaper than our static ISP between about 14 IPs and 980 IPs. Not on its current pricing. Oxylabs sells one monthly credit subscription shared across all self-service products; beyond the $5 welcome credit you need an active plan, and unused credit and top-ups expire at the end of each billing cycle. Loopway is pay as you go and the balance never expires. Every new account gets a one-time $5 welcome credit with no payment details, which covers about 0.8 GB of residential traffic at $6/GB. Larger trials go through sales. Loopway gives free residential traffic with no card. Yes. Oxylabs says every customer must answer a KYC questionnaire (company details, use case, documents on request) before getting access, and some restricted ISP-proxy targets need a further check. Loopway asks for verification only when a risk check calls for it. No. Oxylabs' help center says all self-service purchases are non-refundable, and unused balance expires at the end of the final cycle. Create an account, claim the free trial and swap the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most scrapers need only a new proxy URL. If you use Oxylabs' Web Scraper API or Web Unblocker, keep those or replace them with your own scraping code; Loopway supplies the proxies.
