Our verdict
Webshare suits teams that need a single provider across many markets, and coverage is the standout: 195 countries, a 80M+ IPs pool, and residential, datacenter and isp in the same catalogue. The trade-off is cost, since fees run $0.98 to $7 per GB and the brand ranks 11 of 25 on price per GB.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Countries available is the strongest suit, with 195 countries placing Webshare at 1 of 17 on that ranking.
- A 80M+ IPs pool sits behind the whole catalogue, covering residential, datacenter and isp proxies under the same roof.
- A free trial is offered, so traffic can be sized and priced before a paid plan is chosen.
- Founded in 2018 and run by Webshare, Inc. in the United States, there is a named counterparty behind the terms.
- The low end of $0.98 to $7 per GB sits close to the €0.88 figure across 52 proxy brands, so entry pricing stays approachable.
Cons
- On the overall score of 6.9, the cost part of 5.5 is the drag, with breadth carrying the rest.
- Support runs through email and help centre only, so live chat and a phone line are not part of the set.
- Proxy choice stops at residential, datacenter and isp, and mobile proxies are not among them.
Who it suits
- Teams whose jobs span different markets, given 195 countries available from a single account.
- Builders who need residential, datacenter and isp together, since the catalogue covers residential, datacenter and isp.
- Readers who would rather test before paying, as a free trial is offered.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shifter, if a datacenter line is not needed, since it lists residential and isp.
- Scrapfly, if residential and datacenter cover the job, since it lists residential and datacenter.
- Geonode, if residential, isp and datacenter is enough, since it lists the same proxy types and the choice then comes down to per GB pricing.
What it does well
Webshare keeps residential, datacenter and isp proxies in a single catalogue, so residential, datacenter and isp traffic come from the same provider rather than separate signups. The pool behind them is advertised as 80M+ IPs, which is scale enough that a single country rarely exhausts it, and the types draw on that same pool rather than separate ring-fenced lines. Coverage is the headline number. Webshare lists 195 countries available, the widest reach in this comparison, which removes the usual step of buying region after region. For scrapes that hop between markets, that breadth means a single account covers the map instead of a patchwork of country packs. The mix matters as much as the map. Residential lines suit consumer-facing targets, datacenter lines suit high-volume work where throughput matters, and isp lines sit between both behaviours. Keeping residential, datacenter and isp together lets a team move a test from a given type to another without opening a new account, which helps while you work out which behaviour a target will tolerate.
Where it sits among rivals
On the axes this comparison scores, Webshare splits sharply. Countries available is the strong side: 1 of 17 brands, a clear lead over the field. Price per GB is the weak side, where 11 of 25 brands sit at a lower figure. The pattern is worth naming for readers who weigh both. Webshare wins the map and gives ground on unit cost, so it belongs on a shortlist when reach is the deciding factor and drops off it when spend per gigabyte is. A buyer with a narrow, high-volume workload and a fixed budget will find cheaper per GB elsewhere, while a buyer chasing a single country rarely needs the coverage edge at all. Read the two positions together rather than separately. A high rank on countries with a mid-table rank on price is a different proposition from a brand that is cheap everywhere and thin on reach, and the right pick depends on which shape matches the job.
Pricing
Fees run $0.98 to $7 per GB, and that range is the full cost picture. The low end is an approachable figure for small jobs and short checks; the top end belongs to higher priced plans, which is why the plan name matters as much as the number printed beside it. The figure is quoted per GB, so the plan you choose sets the rate rather than the traffic you send. A free trial is offered, which is the practical way to size cost: run your own traffic through the plan, watch the usage you actually consume, and then decide which line fits. Trials also settle the plan question faster than a price table, because the differences between residential, datacenter and isp show up in behaviour long before they show up on an invoice. The spread between the ends of $0.98 to $7 is wide enough that plan choice moves the bill more than modest usage changes, so pick the tier that matches expected volume and hold the same tier to the same standard at signup and at renewal.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Webshare cost per gigabyte?+
Webshare quotes a per GB figure that runs $0.98 to $7. That is a range across plans rather than a single rate, so the plan you pick sets the number you pay. The low end suits small, occasional jobs, while the top end belongs to higher priced tiers that move the bill much faster on heavy traffic.
How many countries does Webshare cover?+
Webshare lists 195 countries available, the widest reach among the proxy brands here. The pool behind those locations is advertised as 80M+ IPs, so the breadth is backed by a large address range rather than a thin set of well known exits. That matters for scrapes which need to look local in different markets at the same time.
What kinds of proxy does Webshare sell?+
The catalogue covers residential, datacenter and isp proxies. Residential lines are aimed at consumer-facing sites, datacenter lines at high-volume work where throughput matters, and isp lines sit between those behaviours. Mobile proxies are not among the types, so a job that depends on mobile carrier traffic would need another provider.
Can I try Webshare before paying?+
A free trial is offered, so the practical way to judge cost is to push your own traffic through it and watch the per GB usage that $0.98 to $7 is measured against. Trials also settle the plan question, since the difference between residential, datacenter and isp shows up in behaviour before it shows up on an invoice. Webshare has been trading since 2018.
How big is the Webshare proxy pool?+
The pool is advertised as 80M+ IPs, shared across residential, datacenter and isp proxies. A pool at that scale is what makes a wide country list workable, since it leaves room for plenty of addresses in each market rather than a thin set of shared exits. It also means repeat traffic can rotate addresses rather than hammering the same endpoint.
How do I get support from Webshare?+
Support runs through email and help centre, so answers arrive by email or through the help centre, and there is no live chat or phone line in that set. For setup questions on plan choice or country targeting, the help centre is the faster route, while anything account specific is worth putting to support in writing.
Who runs Webshare?+
The provider is Webshare, Inc., a US company headquartered in the United States and trading since 2018. Having a named legal entity behind the terms matters for teams that need a real counterparty on invoices and agreements, and a long trading history gives some reassurance that the service is a going concern.
How does Webshare compare with Shifter and Scrapfly on proxy types?+
Webshare lists residential, datacenter and isp proxies, wider than either of those. Shifter lists residential and isp, and Scrapfly lists residential and datacenter, so both narrow the choice in some way. If a datacenter line is all you need, the smaller sets cover the requirement, and the per GB figure then decides between them.
