GonzoProxyvs Webshare

Webshare offers a limited free shared datacenter tier and paid monthly rotating residential GB. GonzoProxy sells prepaid residential GB without stated expiry and supports location and sticky-session controls.

for your 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.

Charging basisTraffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port planTraffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port planPrepaid GB that never expires
How you payResidential traffic is purchased in GB with volume-based tiers and no stated expiry. Mobile proxies are sold for a paid period with unlimited traffic during that period; confirm the location and current term at checkout.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 workGenerate residential proxy credentials in the dashboard; connect over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 with username/password or IP authorization and select rotation, session and location. A separate account API documents proxy management.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 jobA prepaid residential GB balance can suit sporadic jobs because GonzoProxy says it does not expire; estimate browser asset traffic before buying.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 workflowUse a sticky residential session for multi-page account work and configure the browser's HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 proxy; GonzoProxy is selling the proxy connection, not a hosted browser.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 agentPass GonzoProxy gateway credentials to an MCP browser/fetch tool you operate, or use its account API for management; verify your tool's proxy and credential support.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 workloadResidential volume tiers and enterprise quotes exist; test the exact target and session policy before committing traffic for an entire fleet.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.
Check before moving
  • The residential product is metered by traffic; a long browser session can consume more GB than a small HTTP scrape.
  • Its separate mobile offering is sold by time, so do not apply residential per-GB terms to mobile.
  • The 10-proxy free plan is shared datacenter traffic with a monthly bandwidth cap; it is not free residential traffic.
  • Rotating residential plans are billed by selected GB per month, while datacenter and static ISP plans are priced by proxy count.
  • Residential IPs only, with no mobile or datacenter plans.
  • A sticky session holds while the residential device stays online.
THE DECISION

Validate plumbing for free, then compare residential use

Use Webshare's free shared datacenter tier within its bandwidth cap to check that the client accepts proxy credentials. Shared datacenter IPs may be blocked by some sites; this tells you little about Webshare's paid residential backbone or GonzoProxy's residential pool. For the actual workload, configure both paid residential routes in the same browser or HTTP client, align the available geography/session settings and meter a complete set of pages and assets.

GonzoProxy's no-stated-expiry purchased residential GB can span quiet weeks. Webshare's rotating residential purchase provides a monthly GB allowance, so estimate both active-month demand and what would go unused in idle periods. Webshare's proxy-list API uses backbone endpoint mode for residential; GonzoProxy's dashboard generates credentials and separately documents account management. If the job requires fixed static addresses, Webshare's paid proxy-count plans are a different category from GonzoProxy residential sessions. Do not extrapolate free-tier behavior to either paid product.
