03 // FAQ

Webshare has a free tier. Does V-Proxies?

Webshare offers 10 free rotating proxies and 10 free static proxies — a genuine free tier good for testing. V-Proxies starts at $5 with no free tier. If you want to test residential proxy infrastructure for free, Webshare has an edge there. For production workloads where cost per GB matters, V-Proxies wins.

How do Webshare and V-Proxies differ on pricing structure?

Webshare uses a subscription model — plans start at $3.50/month for residential proxies. V-Proxies is pure pay-as-you-go at $0.99/GB, with credits that never expire. If you use proxies sporadically or your volume is unpredictable, V-Proxies is often cheaper in practice.

Webshare has 80M+ IPs. Is V-Proxies's pool enough?

Webshare's 80M+ IP pool is substantially larger than V-Proxies's 84M+. For very high-volume crawling where IP diversity matters at scale, Webshare has the numerical advantage. For most real-world workloads — SEO monitoring, price checking, sneaker bots — 84M+ unique residential IPs comfortably covers any workload.

Does Webshare offer a Chrome extension?

Yes. Webshare has a Chrome extension for routing browser traffic through proxies without any code setup. V-Proxies is API-first and doesn't offer a browser extension. If you need manual browser proxying, Webshare is the better fit.

Is V-Proxies better than Webshare for developers?

Both have REST APIs and developer-friendly documentation. V-Proxies has unlimited concurrent connections with no plan caps. Webshare limits concurrency by plan tier. For automated, high-throughput usage in code (scraping, bots, pipelines), V-Proxies scales better without upgrade pressure.
