Overview
Webshare sells proxies across three product lines: datacentre proxies, rotating residential proxies, and static residential (ISP) proxies. This profile has 8 countries on record, and the provider separately advertises a much larger global footprint. The three product lines are billed on different units rather than a single price, and a free tier sits alongside the paid plans. Taken together, the offer looks like a self-service platform aimed at buyers who want to pick a product line and a billing unit that matches their workload, rather than a single fixed package.
What the record shows
Webshare states that authentication is handled through username/password or IP allowlisting, and that its Proxy Server product supports 500 to 3,000 concurrent threads. It advertises 195 countries of coverage, which is worth flagging: this directory has only 8 countries on record for this profile, so the wider figure is a provider claim that has not been independently checked here. The provider documents a web dashboard for managing proxy lists, sub-user accounts, and both rotating and static rotation options. Its network is described as covering residential, static residential and datacentre IPs, reachable over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with a pool it states at 80M+ IPs, of which 30M are residential. Payment is documented as Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover. A free plan is on record — 10 datacentre proxies and 1 GB of bandwidth per month, no card required — and this is the extent of what is documented on refund or trial terms; there is no separate money-back or cancellation policy on file beyond that free tier. Webshare also documents uptime commitments for its Proxy Server and residential lines, but the two figures published on its own site do not match each other, and neither has been tested or confirmed by this directory. Support channels, SLA terms, and any onboarding or KYC requirements are not documented in the facts available here, so those remain open questions rather than confirmed gaps or strengths.
Pricing
The recorded entry prices are USD 2.99 per 100 proxies for the datacentre line's 100-proxy plan, USD 3.5 per GB for the rotating residential line's 1 GB plan, and USD 0.18 per proxy for the static residential (ISP) line's Entry plan. These are three different billing units — a fixed proxy count, a bandwidth allowance, and a per-proxy rate — so the headline numbers are not directly comparable across product lines; what a buyer actually pays depends heavily on usage pattern rather than the sticker price alone. Within the narrower group of providers in this directory that also bill by the proxy, Webshare is recorded as cheaper than all 7 others on that basis. That comparison is specific to per-proxy billing and does not extend to the per-GB residential line or to providers using other pricing models.
Who it suits
Based on what is documented, this fits buyers who want a low entry-cost datacentre proxy option billed per proxy, or a residential product where bandwidth-based billing suits variable scraping or automation loads. The static residential line, billed per proxy, may suit those wanting a fixed IP without committing to a bandwidth plan. The free plan gives a way to test basic datacentre functionality before paying. It is less suited to buyers who need contractually documented uptime or refund guarantees beyond the free plan, since none is on record here, or to anyone relying on the 195-country claim for compliance or coverage-critical work without checking it independently first.
Where to look closer
A buyer should ask Webshare directly to reconcile the 195-country claim with the narrower coverage this directory has on record, and to specify which countries are actually reachable on each product line. It is worth asking which of the two published uptime figures applies to which product, and how each is measured, since the two do not agree. The record has no documented refund or cancellation policy outside the free plan, so that should be requested in writing before committing to a paid plan. Support channels and response-time commitments are not documented here either, and neither are any minimum contract terms or overage charges once a plan's proxy count or bandwidth allowance is exceeded. Finally, since no controlled performance testing has been published by this directory or, as far as the record shows, by any independent third party, buyers with performance-sensitive use cases should ask for trial access and test against their own target endpoints before relying on the stated pool size or thread limits.
