Best European Proxy & Networking

#1 Oxylabs

Vilnius, Lithuania Enterprise pricing, published per product on request Trials by arrangement

Best for: Enterprises collecting web data at scale who need reliability over price

• Operating company. Oxylabs
• Jurisdiction. EU (Lithuania)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. GDPR
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

Oxylabs is the enterprise end of this category: a large residential and datacentre proxy network paired with Web Scraper API, aimed at organisations for whom a failed collection run costs more than the subscription. That framing shows up in how it sells — account management, service commitments and compliance processes rather than a signup form and a credit card.

The combination of network and API matters. Raw proxies leave you maintaining rotation, retry and anti-ban logic yourself; a scraping API absorbs that so the team works on what to do with the data instead of on getting it. For a price intelligence or brand protection function running continuously, that difference compounds.

Oxylabs operates from Vilnius, so the company sits under GDPR in an EU member state — which for a data collection vendor is a substantive point, since compliance processes and know-your-customer checks are what separate a reputable proxy network from a problematic one. Pricing is enterprise and quoted rather than published, so evaluation means a sales conversation, and the residential network raises the question every buyer should ask directly: where the consumer IPs come from and how consent was obtained.

Standout feature. Network and scraping API from one vendor — you stop maintaining the retry logic that eats the project.

#2 SOAX

United Kingdom Self-serve plans, published on the provider's website Self-serve signup

Best for: Teams that need proxy-type breadth including mobile and ISP

• Operating company. SOAX
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. UK-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. UK GDPR
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

SOAX carries the widest range of proxy types among these providers: residential, mobile and ISP on one network. That breadth is the reason to choose it, because different targets defeat different types and having all three in one account means changing approach without changing vendor.

ISP proxies are the type most people have not used and often the right answer: addresses registered to consumer ISPs but hosted in datacentres, so they combine datacentre speed and stability with the appearance of a residential connection. For sustained sessions where residential rotation is too slow and datacentre traffic gets refused, that is exactly the gap they fill.

SOAX is British, which places it under UK GDPR and an EU adequacy decision rather than intra-EEA processing — lawful for transfers from the EU without additional safeguards, and worth knowing if procurement rules name EU member states. Plans are self-serve and published. As with every residential network here, ask directly where the consumer IPs come from and how consent was obtained.

Standout feature. ISP proxies: datacentre speed on addresses that read as residential — the type most people have not tried.

#3 Zyte

Ireland Usage-based, published per product on the provider's website Free tier on Zyte API

Best for: Engineering teams that want to keep their scrapers and stop managing proxies

• Operating company. Zyte
• Jurisdiction. EU (Ireland)
• Where the data sits. EU (Ireland)
• Independent checks. GDPR
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, in-house proxy rotation

Zyte sells proxy management rather than proxies, and for a team that already has working scrapers that is a better product. Smart Proxy Manager and Zyte API handle rotation, retries, throttling and anti-ban behaviour automatically, so the logic that decides which address to use next and what to do when a request is refused stops being code you maintain.

That logic is where scraping projects rot. It works when written, degrades quietly as targets change their defences, and turns into an unowned maintenance burden nobody wants. Handing it to a service that does nothing else is a defensible architectural decision rather than a convenience.

The credential worth knowing: Zyte maintains Scrapy, the open-source scraping framework a large part of this industry is built on.

That is a different kind of signal from a marketing page — the vendor is a maintainer of the ecosystem rather than only a seller into it. Zyte is Irish, so EU-established under GDPR, with usage-based pricing and a free tier on Zyte API. It sells managed access rather than raw proxy pools, so a team wanting addresses to use its own way is buying the wrong thing.

Standout feature. The company maintaining Scrapy also sells the proxy layer — the ecosystem's maintainer, not just a vendor into it.

#4 Apify

Prague, Czech Republic Free tier with usage-based paid plans Free tier

Best for: Developers who want the scrapers and the infrastructure in one place

• Operating company. Apify
• Jurisdiction. EU (Czech Republic)
• Where the data sits. EU (Czech Republic)
• Independent checks. GDPR
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, custom scraping infrastructure

Apify sells the whole stack rather than the network under it. Scraping Actors are runnable, shareable scrapers on a developer platform, with datacentre and residential proxies underneath and scheduling, storage and an API around them — so a team that would otherwise write scrapers and then find somewhere to run them gets both from one place.

The Actor model is the interesting part: scrapers are packaged units that others can run, which means common targets frequently already have a working scraper you can use rather than build. For a project that needs data from a well-known site next week, that is the difference between a sprint and an afternoon.

Apify operates from Prague under GDPR, with a free tier and usage-based paid plans, which makes it the easiest entry point in this category for a developer with a specific job to do. The trade-offs follow from the model: usage-based pricing needs watching once volume is real, the platform is opinionated about how scrapers are packaged, and a team wanting only proxies is paying for a platform it will not use.

Standout feature. Someone has probably already written the scraper you need — and it runs on the same platform as the proxies.

#5 ZenRows

Getxo, Bizkaia, Spain Founded 2021 Free 5,000 credits per month / from $16 per month Free tier, no card required

Best for: Developers who want the anti-bot problem solved rather than proxies to point at it

• Operating company. ZenRows, S.L.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Spain)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. GDPR, LOPDGDD
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, ScraperAPI, Zyte API

ZenRows sells an outcome rather than a resource. The others here hand you rotating addresses and leave the hard part — headless browsers, fingerprinting, CAPTCHAs, the arms race against bot detection — as your problem.

ZenRows takes a URL and returns the HTML, with rotation, browser rendering and anti-bot bypass behind one API call. For a team whose product happens to need public web data, that is considerably less to maintain than a proxy pool plus the scraping stack around it.

ZenRows, S.L. is registered in Getxo, Bizkaia, and its privacy policy is written against the Spanish LOPDGDD alongside GDPR, so the controller sits unambiguously inside the EU.

The exit nodes are global, as they have to be for the product to work at all — a scraper that only ever appears to come from Spain is of limited use — so this is EU jurisdiction over the company and the contract, not EU-only routing. Pricing runs on credits: 5,000 a month free without a card, then $16 a month for 45,000. The entry cost is genuinely low; heavy use needs modelling rather than a flat subscription.

Standout feature. Sells the result rather than the resource — the anti-bot problem handled, not proxies to aim at it.

#6 OutboundGateway

European Union Published on the provider's website See provider

Best for: Developers and SaaS teams needing a stable European egress IP

• Operating company. OutboundGateway
• Jurisdiction. EU-native
• Where the data sits. EU — egress IPs and service sit within Europe
• Independent checks. GDPR
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. US-based static IP and proxy services

OutboundGateway does the opposite of everything else in this category. The five providers above it exist to give you many addresses; this one exists to give you exactly one, and never change it.

That requirement arrives as a sentence from a partner — tell us which IP addresses your requests will come from so we can allow-list them — and cloud applications cannot answer it, because the hosting provider assigns addresses that change on a restart, a scaling event or a region move.

Routing outbound traffic through one stable dedicated address means the third party allow-lists one IP and the integration survives everything that happens to your own infrastructure. Banks, payment providers and enterprise partners ask for this routinely.

It is EU-native: the egress IPs and the service both sit within Europe, so outbound traffic exits from European infrastructure rather than through a US provider — the last hop a deliberately European stack usually forgets to move. It is a young, single-purpose service with less public track record than the larger names here, so evaluate the SLA, redundancy, throughput and pricing directly before putting a production integration behind it.

Standout feature. The one provider here selling a single unchanging address — the exact opposite of what the other five sell.

#7 IPRoyal

Lithuania Pay-as-you-go, published per gigabyte No minimum commitment

Best for: Small teams and individual projects that need proxies without a commitment

• Operating company. IPRoyal
• Jurisdiction. EU (Lithuania)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. GDPR
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

IPRoyal is the accessible end of this category. Published per-gigabyte pricing, no minimum commitment and no sales conversation, which for a developer testing whether an approach works at all is the difference between starting today and filling in a contact form.

The network is substantial despite that positioning — a residential pool reported in the tens of millions of addresses across essentially every country, plus mobile and datacentre options. For most collection work the practical question is whether a given country and city are covered at the volume you need, and at this size the answer is usually yes.

IPRoyal describes its residential addresses as ethically sourced, which is the claim that matters most in this part of the category and the one every buyer should press on: residential proxies route your traffic through real people's home connections, and whether those people knowingly agreed is a question with a real answer that varies by provider.

Ask for specifics rather than accepting the adjective. IPRoyal is Lithuania-based, so EU jurisdiction under GDPR. It is a smaller operation than Oxylabs with less enterprise service depth and no scraping platform of its own.

Standout feature. Published per-gigabyte pricing and no minimum — you can find out whether the approach works before anyone quotes you.

#8 Evomi

Ermatingen, Switzerland Core Residential from $49/month (100GB) or $0.99/GB pay-as-you-go, down to $0.79/GB at 1,000GB; Premium Residential and Mobile from $3.98/GB down to $2.20/GB on volume; Static Residential (ISP) from $1.00/IP/month; Datacenter from $0.45/GB pay-as-you-go down to $0.30/GB at 1,000GB; Scraper API from $0.20 per 1,000 results or $379.99/month; Scraping Browser from $24.99/month

Best for: Teams wanting Swiss-certified compliance across every proxy type in one account

• Operating company. TeraShift GmbH
• Jurisdiction. Switzerland (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. Swiss-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, EWDCI member
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

Evomi is a Swiss proxy network run by TeraShift GmbH, and it is the only provider in this category to carry ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and EWDCI (Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative) membership at once — three separate audits of the same sourcing and security claims every enterprise proxy vendor makes.

The product line covers the same ground as Oxylabs and Decodo: residential, mobile, datacenter and static ISP proxies, plus a Scraper API and a hosted Scraping Browser, so a team can start with raw IPs and move to managed scraping without changing vendor.

Pricing is transparent and pay-as-you-go across the board: Core Residential starts at $0.99 per GB, Datacenter at $0.30 per GB on volume, and Static Residential IPs at $1 per IP per month, all published rather than quoted. That openness sets it apart from Oxylabs' sales-led enterprise pricing while still offering the same breadth of proxy types. The Scraper API adds a fourth pricing model — per 1,000 results — for teams that would rather pay for outcomes than bandwidth.

Evomi sits outside the EU and EEA under Switzerland's adequacy decision, the same jurisdictional footing as SOAX's UK entity but a different country, so buyers with an EU-only procurement rule should check that distinction before signing. The company states over six years of experience selling proxies without publishing a founding year, and as with every residential network in this category, ask directly how the consumer IP pool is sourced and whether the people behind those connections consented knowingly.

Standout feature. Three separate audits of the same sourcing claim — ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and EWDCI — in a category full of unverified promises.

#9 Proxy-Seller

Larnaca, Cyprus Residential proxies from $1.45/GB on volume plans (from $0.30/GB on enterprise volumes), $3.50/GB on the 30-day test plan; IPv4 from $0.49/IP; IPv6 from $0.02/IP; datacenter from $0.02/IP; ISP from $0.98/IP; mobile from $10/proxy

Best for: Buyers who want every proxy type broken out and separately priced

• Operating company. SSV IT Provider Online Services LTD
• Jurisdiction. EU (Cyprus)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

Proxy-Seller, run by the Cyprus-registered SSV IT Provider Online Services LTD, is the most granular pricing page in this category: residential, datacenter, ISP, mobile, IPv4 and IPv6 proxies are each sold and priced on their own, rather than folded into one "proxy" line item.

For a buyer who already knows exactly which proxy type a job needs, that specificity removes the guesswork a bundled plan usually hides, and the entry points are low — IPv4 from $0.49 per IP, datacenter from $0.02 per IP.

The residential network is sizeable at a stated 47 million-plus IPs across more than 220 locations, with per-GB pricing that drops from $3.50 on a 30-day test plan to as low as $0.30 on enterprise volume. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certification put a second and third independent audit behind the security and quality claims, which most proxy resellers at this price point do not carry.

Proxy-Seller is established in Cyprus, so it sits inside the EU and processes under GDPR directly — a stronger jurisdictional position than Evomi's Swiss adequacy decision or SOAX's UK one. The trade-off for the granular pricing is that a buyer has to assemble a plan across six separate product pages rather than picking one tier, and as with every residential network here, the sourcing and consent of the underlying IPs is worth asking about directly rather than assuming.

Standout feature. The only provider here selling IPv4 and IPv6 as distinct products, each with its own price per IP.

#10 Froxy

Tallinn, Estonia Residential proxy plans from $5.50/month, scaled by traffic, ports and IP count (Regular and Enterprise tiers); 3-day trial for $1.99 (100MB); full pricing tables on request 3-day trial, $1.99 for 100MB

Best for: Small teams testing a proxy network before committing to a plan

• Operating company. Wergames OÜ
• Jurisdiction. EU (Estonia)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

Froxy is an Estonian residential, mobile and datacentre proxy network run by Wergames OÜ, positioned as a lower-cost, lower-commitment entry point into a category dominated by enterprise sales calls. A three-day trial for $1.99 covering 100MB is the cheapest way to test whether a target actually works with a given proxy type before buying a full plan, and monthly residential plans start from $5.50.

The network is pitched at scale — a stated 120 million-plus IP pool — which for most collection jobs means the practical question is whether a specific country or city is covered rather than whether the network is big enough in aggregate. Regular and Enterprise tiers split casual users from high-volume ones, though the full pricing tables sit behind a plan selector rather than being laid out on one page the way IPRoyal's are.

Wergames OÜ is Estonian, so Froxy is EU-established and processes under GDPR directly. It is a smaller, younger operation than Oxylabs or Decodo, with less published detail on enterprise service commitments, compliance processes or where the residential IPs are sourced from — worth asking directly, as with every network of this kind, before committing beyond the trial.

Standout feature. A $1.99, three-day trial — the cheapest way in this category to test a target before paying for a full plan.

#11 ProxyEmpire

Burgas, Bulgaria Rotating residential pay-as-you-go from $3.50/GB down to $1.50/GB at 1,000GB; rotating mobile from $4.50/GB down to $2/GB at 1,000GB; rotating datacenter from $0.625/GB down to $0.35/GB at 5,000GB; static residential from $2/IP/month plus GB usage; flat-rate unlimited residential from $200/day

Best for: High-volume users who want a flat daily or monthly rate instead of metered GB

• Operating company. SWIFT SAAS LTD
• Jurisdiction. EU (Bulgaria)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

ProxyEmpire, operated by the Bulgarian company SWIFT SAAS LTD, covers residential, mobile and datacentre proxies with the same per-GB structure as most of this category — residential from $3.50 per GB down to $1.50 at 1,000GB, datacentre from $0.625 down to $0.35 at 5,000GB. What sets it apart is a flat-rate unlimited residential option, priced by the day, week or month instead of by bandwidth, for workloads too large or unpredictable to plan against a GB cap.

That unlimited tier is the reason to choose ProxyEmpire specifically: a use case with genuinely unpredictable or very high bandwidth needs — continuous monitoring, large-scale price tracking — can be budgeted as a fixed cost rather than a variable one that spikes with usage. Static residential IPs are also available at $2 per IP per month for jobs that need one address to stay put rather than rotate.

SWIFT SAAS LTD is registered in Bulgaria, an EU member state, so ProxyEmpire is EU-established and processes under GDPR directly. It publishes no certification of its own to weigh against Evomi's ISO 27001 or Proxy-Seller's ISO 9001, and as with every residential network here, the sourcing of consumer IPs and how consent was obtained is worth asking about before signing, particularly for the unlimited plans where the bandwidth behind a flat fee is harder to audit.

Standout feature. Flat-rate unlimited residential proxies, priced by the day — a fixed cost where every other provider here meters by the gigabyte.

#12 WebScrapingAPI

Bucharest, Romania Scraper API from $19/month (free tier: 5,000 requests); residential proxies pay-as-you-go from $8.50/GB or monthly plans from $52; SERP API from $28/month (free: 100 searches); Amazon Data API from $59/month (free: 100 requests); Managed Data from $299/month; Datacenter, ISP, Browser API and Crawl API quoted on request Free tier: 5,000 scraping requests, 100 SERP/Amazon requests

Best for: Teams that need scraping, search results and Amazon data from one vendor

• Operating company. Everything Data Solutions SRL
• Jurisdiction. EU (Romania)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, ScraperAPI, SerpApi

WebScrapingAPI, run by the Romanian company Everything Data Solutions SRL, sells the widest spread of specialised scraping products in this category: a general Scraper API, a SERP API for Google search results, an Amazon Data API, and residential proxies sold separately for teams that want raw IPs instead.

Each of the three APIs carries its own free tier — 5,000 scraper requests, 100 SERP searches, 100 Amazon requests — so a team can test the specific product it needs without committing to a bundle.

That breadth puts WebScrapingAPI in competition with several single-purpose tools at once rather than being a proxy network with an API bolted on. A team currently paying for a general scraper, a separate SERP tool and a third Amazon-specific scraper has a real case for consolidating onto one vendor and one invoice, provided each individual API holds up against its specialist alternative.

Everything Data Solutions SRL is registered in Bucharest, so WebScrapingAPI is EU-established under Romanian and GDPR jurisdiction. Entry pricing starts at $19 per month for the Scraper API, climbing separately for SERP and Amazon access, and Datacenter, ISP, Browser API and Crawl API products are quoted rather than published — so a buyer wanting the full stack should expect a sales conversation once past the entry tier.

Standout feature. One vendor for general scraping, Google search results and Amazon data — three specialist tools consolidated onto one invoice.

#13 ScrapingBee

Paris, France Hobby $19/month (75,000 credits, 25 concurrent) / Freelance $49/month (250,000, 50 concurrent) / Startup $99/month (1,000,000, 100 concurrent) / Business $249/month (3,000,000, 200 concurrent) / Business+ $599/month (8,000,000, 400 concurrent); all prices exclusive of VAT; custom plans on request 1,000 free API credits to start

Best for: Developers who want a rendered-HTML scraping API with transparent, credit-based pricing

• Operating company. VostokInc SAS
• Jurisdiction. EU (France)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. SOC 2 Type II
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, ScraperAPI, in-house scraping stacks

ScrapingBee occupies the same niche ZenRows does higher up this list: a URL in, rendered HTML out, with rotating proxies, headless browser rendering and anti-bot bypass handled behind one API call rather than left as the customer's problem. It is one of the older products in this space, published by the French company VostokInc SAS from Paris, and it carries SOC 2 Type II attestation, which ZenRows does not state.

Pricing runs on credits rather than a flat monthly fee: Hobby at $19/month covers 75,000 credits, rising through five tiers to $599/month for 8 million, with 1,000 free credits to try it first. That is a steeper entry tier than ZenRows' free 5,000-credit monthly allowance, but the credit system scales predictably as concurrency and volume requirements grow, up to 400 concurrent requests on the top published plan.

VostokInc SAS is registered in Paris, so ScrapingBee is EU-established under GDPR directly, the same jurisdictional footing as ZenRows' Spanish entity. As with ZenRows, exit nodes are global by necessity — the product would be far less useful if it could only ever appear to come from France — so this is EU jurisdiction over the company and contract rather than EU-only routing.

Standout feature. The SOC 2 Type II attestation ZenRows does not carry, from one of the older products doing the same job.

#14 ScrapingAnt

Poland Enthusiast $19/month (100,000 credits) / Startup $49/month (500,000) / Business $249/month (3,000,000) / Business Pro $599/month (8,000,000) / Custom from $699+ (10M+); 10,000 free credits/month, no card required; residential and datacenter proxies billed separately by bandwidth 10,000 free API credits monthly, no card required

Best for: Teams that want to pay only for scrapes that actually succeed

• Operating company. DATAANT sp. z o.o.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Poland)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, ScraperAPI, custom Puppeteer scripts

ScrapingAnt is a third entrant into the same "URL in, HTML out" niche as ZenRows and ScrapingBee, published by the Polish company DATAANT sp. z o.o. under KRS registration 0000848755. Its distinguishing claim is a pay-per-success credit model: a standard Chrome-rendered request with default proxies costs 10 credits, but a failed request costs nothing, which shifts the financial risk of a blocked or timed-out scrape from the customer onto the vendor.

Entry pricing starts at $19/month for 100,000 credits, with a recurring 10,000 free credits every month and no card required to start — a genuine ongoing free tier rather than a one-off trial, unlike ScrapingBee's single 1,000-credit allowance. Residential and datacentre proxies are available as an add-on, billed separately by bandwidth for jobs that need raw IPs rather than the full rendering stack.

DATAANT sp. z o.o. operates under Polish law, so ScrapingAnt is EU-established and processes under GDPR directly. It is the newest and least proven of the three scraping-API products in this category, with a smaller public track record than ZenRows or ScrapingBee, and — as with both of those — exit nodes route globally, so the EU jurisdiction covers the company and contract rather than where requests appear to originate.

Standout feature. Pay-per-success pricing: a blocked or failed request costs nothing, shifting the risk onto the vendor instead of the customer.

#15 ScrapeOps

Ireland Web Scraping API Aggregator: 1,000 free credits, paid plans on request; Residential Proxy Aggregator: 100MB free, paid plans on request; monitoring, job scheduling and AI scraper builder included at no charge Free: 1,000 scraping credits, 100MB proxy traffic

Best for: Teams that want one API routing across many proxy vendors instead of picking one

• Operating company. ScrapeOps Limited
• Jurisdiction. EU (Ireland)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, aggregates third-party proxy networks worldwide
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, manually managing multiple proxy vendors

ScrapeOps does something none of the other providers in this category do: it does not operate its own proxy network at all.

It is an aggregator, routing requests across more than 20 third-party proxy and scraping-API providers and picking whichever performs best for a given request, alongside free job scheduling, a monitoring dashboard and an AI-assisted scraper code generator. For a team already choosing between Oxylabs, Decodo, ZenRows and everything else on this page, ScrapeOps is a way to stop choosing and let the routing layer decide instead.

That model is genuinely different rather than a smaller version of what Zyte or Apify sell: Zyte manages rotation within its own network, ScrapeOps manages selection across other people's networks, several of which are not European at all. The monitoring and job scheduling tools are free and usable on their own, which makes ScrapeOps worth trying even for a team that already has a proxy vendor picked.

ScrapeOps Limited is registered in Ireland under company number 723170, so the company and the contract sit under GDPR directly — but because the product's whole job is routing across other providers' networks, the jurisdiction of the request itself depends on whichever underlying vendor handles it, a materially different guarantee from buying proxies straight from a single EU-based network. Free tiers cover 1,000 scraping credits and 100MB of proxy traffic; paid pricing beyond that is not published on the site.

Standout feature. The only tool here that does not sell proxies at all — it picks the best of 20+ other vendors for you.

#16 Smartproxy (Decodo)

Vilnius, Lithuania Self-serve plans, published on the provider's website Self-serve signup

Best for: Small teams that want residential and mobile proxies without a sales call

• Operating company. Decodo, formerly Smartproxy
• Jurisdiction. EU (Lithuania)
• Where the data sits. EU-headquartered, global exit nodes
• Independent checks. GDPR
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Bright Data, US-based proxy networks

Decodo, formerly Smartproxy, covers much of the same ground as Oxylabs from the same city and sells it differently: a self-serve dashboard, published plans and an onboarding designed to have you running the same afternoon rather than after a procurement cycle. For a small team or a single project, that is the difference between starting and not.

Its network covers residential and mobile proxies, with mobile being the harder type to block precisely because thousands of real users share a carrier address, alongside scraping APIs for teams that would rather call an endpoint than manage rotation.

It operates from Vilnius under GDPR, like Oxylabs, so the EU-establishment argument holds. The trade-off against the enterprise end is what you would expect: less account management, less bespoke service commitment, and support that scales with the plan rather than with the relationship. The same question about residential IP sourcing and consent applies here as everywhere in this part of the category.

Standout feature. Mobile proxies on a self-serve plan — the hardest type to block, without a sales cycle to reach it.
