Frequently asked questions
What does Oxylabs cost to start?+
Plans begin at $49. That figure is the entry point, and what you pay after it depends on how much traffic you send, because billing works on Pay per GB of traffic. Budget for usage rather than for seats.
Is there a free plan?+
There is no free plan, so paid access starts at $49. The free trial is the only route in before you pay, and it is listed under free trial rather than as a permanent free tier.
How are usage limits set?+
Limits are not seat based. The stated basis is Pay per GB of traffic, so a team that sends more traffic pays more, and a small job costs less than a large one.
What does a trial include?+
A free trial is offered, which lets you size the tool against a real job before subscribing. It sits apart from the paid tiers, so the paid entry point of $49 only matters once you commit.
Who is Oxylabs built for?+
It serves small business and enterprise. That mix means the same pay per traffic model suits a small business running light jobs and an enterprise pushing larger volumes, since neither is billed per named user.
How do you get support?+
Support is available on email, chat and help centre. Email and live chat cover direct questions, and the help centre handles the self service side.
How does Oxylabs compare on price?+
Entry pricing of $49 sits above the site median of €13.15 and the upper quartile of €29. The ranking on price from places it at 244 of 307.
What kind of tool is it?+
It is listed under automation and seo, so it belongs with search and automation work rather than general business software. The company operates as Oxylabs, UAB and was founded in 2015.
