Oxylabs vs Smartproxy — short answer

Both are Lithuania-based proxy providers; Oxylabs (2015) positions as enterprise-grade with 175M+ residential IPs and Proxyway 2025/PCMag 2025 awards; Smartproxy (now Decodo since 2024) positions as mid-market with 115M+ residential IPs and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Smartproxy is cheaper across most tiers: $3.75/GB residential entry vs Oxylabs $6/GB, $0.035/IP datacenter shared vs Oxylabs $1.20/IP (different billing model — Oxylabs is semi-dedicated with unlimited bandwidth, Smartproxy is shared rotating).

Side-by-side: residential

Tier	Oxylabs	Smartproxy (Decodo)	GProxy
Pool	175M+ IPs	115M+ IPs	10M+ IPs
Countries	195+	195+	116
Entry	$30/mo (5 GB at $6/GB)	$11.25/mo (3 GB at $3.75/GB)	No minimum, $0.85/GB
PAYG	—	$4/GB	$0.85/GB
100 GB	$500/mo ($5/GB Advanced)	$275/mo ($2.75/GB)	$49-85
1 TB	$2,500/mo ($2.50/GB)	$2,000/mo ($2/GB)	$490 ($0.49/GB)

Datacenter — different models, different prices

Oxylabs datacenter is $1.20/IP/month semi-dedicated (10-3000 IPs, unlimited bandwidth with fair use) or $0.59/GB pay-per-traffic (20 GB-2 TB). Smartproxy datacenter shared is $0.035/IP at 100 IPs (dropping to $0.02 at 15,000); dedicated is $1.85/IP (3) → $1.15/IP (2,000). They're not directly comparable — Oxylabs $1.20 semi-dedicated has unlimited bandwidth, Smartproxy $0.035 is shared rotating without that. For raw "cheapest IP" Smartproxy wins by 35x; for "cheapest unlimited bandwidth", Oxylabs is reasonable.

ISP — Smartproxy cheapest per-IP at scale

Oxylabs ISP dedicated: $1.60/IP (10) → $1.20/IP (500), 22 countries. Smartproxy ISP shared: $0.47/IP (10) → $0.27/IP (8,000), 15 countries. Smartproxy shared beats Oxylabs by 3-4x per IP — but it's shared, not dedicated. Oxylabs lists premium ASN carriers (Lumen, Comcast, BT Group, Orange, Cox); Smartproxy doesn't publish equivalent carrier documentation. For account-creation use cases where carrier reputation matters, Oxylabs.

What only Oxylabs offers

Industry awards (Proxyway 2025, PCMag 2025), HTTP3 protocol, 24-hour sticky sessions, premium ASN ISP documentation (Lumen, Comcast, BT Group, Orange, Cox), and the largest residential pool between the two (175M vs 115M).

What only Smartproxy (Decodo) offers

Ultra-cheap datacenter shared ($0.035/IP at 100 IPs — industry-low), per-GB datacenter from $0.38/GB at 10 TB, 14-day money-back guarantee on all plans, and significantly lower residential entry price ($3.75/GB vs $6/GB).

The third option: GProxy

If both Oxylabs and Smartproxy feel pricey at residential entry, GProxy is the budget alternative: $0.85/GB pay-as-you-go residential (no monthly minimum), $0.50/IP/month datacenter shared, standalone IPv6 proxies from $0.03/proxy/3 days (neither competitor sells these), and flat unlimited bandwidth from $3/day. The trade-off is network scale: 10M+ residential IPs in 150+ countries vs the 100M+ pools of competitors. For SMB and developer use cases that don't need 195-country coverage, GProxy is the price-leader.
