Questions
Switching from Oxylabs
Is ProxyHive cheaper than Oxylabs?
On every residential plan their pricing page lists, yes: their 5 GB plan is $6/GB and ours is $4.60/GB at 5 GB; their 125 GB plan is $4/GB and ours is $2.65/GB. Their plans bill monthly; ours is a one-off purchase that does not expire.
Does Oxylabs sell residential pay as you go?
Their public residential pricing page lists monthly plans from 5 GB to 1 TB. Ours has no plan: buy the gigabytes you need, and the balance stays until you use it.
Can I target a city on ProxyHive residential?
No. Our residential pool rotates without location selection, so Oxylabs takes the targeting row. For a named city, order a static IP: ISP is ordered by country, region, city and carrier, and datacenter by country, region and city.
