Webshare vs ProxyMesh
We put Webshare and ProxyMesh side by side on price, pool depth, coverage and reliability. We benchmark each option on the metrics that decide success: anonymity, uptime, geo-coverage, and cost per GB.
Webshare (Datacenter (Shared), $2.99/GB) and ProxyMesh (Datacenter (Rotating), $10/mo) both target serious proxy users, but they win on different axes. Webshare is cheaper ($2.99/GB vs $10/mo) — roughly 3× the gap.
Webshare targets the budget segment with shared datacenter proxies. At $2.99/GB still 4x more expensive than Cheapest-Proxies with datacenter-only detection limitations.
ProxyMesh has served developers since 2010. Their rotating infrastructure is reliable but limited to 17 countries and 50K IPs — no match for modern residential networks.

Verdict
Our pick: Webshare. It edges ahead on our rating (4★ vs 4★) and is cheaper at $2.99/GB. That said, choose ProxyMesh if you specifically need reliable for small projects.
Our take: match the proxy type to the target, keep sessions sticky where you need continuity, and never overpay for capacity you won't use.
