Choose Evomi if
- Teams choosing between low-commitment traffic and monthly GB tiers
- Agents that can use Evomi's documented MCP tools or Scraper API
Webshare's capped free shared datacenter tier and paid proxy lists cover a basic proxy route. Evomi adds metered proxy pools, per-IP static ISP, Scraper API credits and MCP tools. The free tier can establish client plumbing, but cannot decide a managed agent extraction workload.

Compare the actual traffic commitment, session controls and cost of a usable response. If you already fetch and parse pages, run your existing HTTP client against the same permitted pages, country target and session policy on both residential gateways.
| Decision | Evomi | Webshare | ProxyLane |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example route for this job | EvomiResidential proxy gateway | WebshareResidential proxy gateway | ProxyLaneResidential proxy gateway for the HTTP client or browser you already run |
| Charging basis | Traffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port plan | Traffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port plan | Prepaid GB that never expires |
| How you pay | Rotating residential, premium residential, mobile and datacenter products meter GB through pay-as-you-go or monthly plans; static ISP is charged per IP without a traffic meter. Scraper API has separate credits. A 512-byte minimum billed consumption applies to each proxy request; check live checkout for core-residential pay-as-you-go tiers. | Ten shared datacenter proxies are free with a limited monthly bandwidth allowance. Paid datacenter and static residential plans charge by proxy count on monthly or yearly terms; rotating residential charges for a chosen monthly GB allowance. Check plan limits and fair-use terms. | 350 MB trial for $1.95, then prepaid packages from $6.50/GB for 1 GB down to $2.50/GB for 1 TB. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Integration work | Generate type-specific proxy credentials in the dashboard for your HTTP client or browser. The Scraper API and published MCP server provide separate managed interfaces for agents and must be provisioned independently. | Download a proxy list from the dashboard or API; the API supports username or source-IP authorization, and residential lists use the backbone endpoint mode. | HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 endpoints on three regional gateways: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Export proxy lists in 8 formats for scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers. |
| A small or irregular job | Compare a no-commitment GB purchase with the monthly tier for the exact pool, and account for the per-request traffic floor on tiny calls. | Try the free datacenter tier for basic connection testing; a residential evaluation needs a paid monthly GB plan. | Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Browser workflow | Use static ISP for a fixed IP or residential sticky sessions with your browser; Scraper API browser mode is a separate managed request product. | Use a listed proxy or residential backbone endpoint in your own browser; the free shared IPs may be blocked by some sites. | Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile. |
| Connecting an agent | Evomi publishes MCP tools for proxy configuration, scraping and usage; keep proxy credentials out of agent-visible tool output when using its documented masking option. | Use the official API or webshare-cli to obtain proxy endpoints for an MCP browser/fetch tool you operate; its free datacenter tier is distinct from paid residential traffic. | Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser. |
| A growing production workload | Track proxy GB, static IP count and Scraper API credits separately; recheck volume terms and trial renewals before production rollout. | Choose count-based datacenter/ISP or GB-based residential capacity and verify bandwidth, thread and fair-use limits at the intended plan size. | Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB. |

Verify client proxy authentication on Webshare's limited free shared datacenter IPs, then move to matched paid products for a real target. Webshare's rotating residential is a monthly GB allowance accessed through its backbone list mode; Evomi's rotating residential can use pay-as-you-go or monthly GB. Test the same pages and locations and record retries. Webshare's paid static residential/datacenter plans can charge by proxy count, while Evomi static ISP charges per IP. A shared free IP may be blocked by some sites.
For an MCP agent or managed scrape, Evomi documents tools and a separate Scraper API credit meter. Webshare's API downloads and manages proxy lists for client code, leaving extraction in the application. Run a small complete task before treating an Evomi credit as comparable to Webshare traffic. If the sample has many very small proxy requests, include Evomi's 512-byte billed minimum; if it is a browser visit, account for assets and session changes instead.
ProxyLane offers premium residential IPs with ultra-low fraud scores, from ethically sourced, real devices.
