Proxy Rotator vs Oxylabs
The short version: 750GB of residential bandwidth costs $99.95 here and $6,000 at Oxylabs's rate of $8.00/GB. Same proxy types, same protocols, bandwidth included with the plan instead of metered against you.

Where Oxylabs is the better choice
Oxylabs runs a 175M+ pool against our 100M+, publishes documented ASN level targeting, and offers dedicated ISP tiers. If you need to pin traffic to a specific autonomous system, or you need a signed enterprise agreement and a named account manager, they are built for that and we are not.
Where we are the better choice
Oxylabs sells to enterprise. Entry residential is $8.00/GB, billed as $80 for 10GB, and the account structure assumes seats, contracts and a procurement conversation.
If the deciding factor is cost per gigabyte at steady volume, the arithmetic favours us heavily. You get residential, datacenter, mobile and IPv6 on one gateway, country targeting, a rotating proxy API, and no conversation with a salesperson before your first request.
Migrating from Oxylabs specifically
Oxylabs credentials carry a customer prefix and session parameters inside the username string. Ours are a plain user and password pair, so strip the parameter suffixes when you copy them across rather than pasting the whole string.
If you were using their ASN targeting parameters, those have no equivalent here and will need removing from your connection strings.
Both services speak standard HTTPS and SOCKS5, so the transport layer needs no changes. Authenticate by whitelisting your server IP or with a user and password. The setup guide covers the common tools.
