Oxylabs is best known for proxies, and its Scrape API puts that network behind a single request that handles CAPTCHAs and JavaScript and returns Markdown, JSON or HTML. Popular targets such as Google, Amazon and Walmart have their own parameters for clean output, and newer LLM scrapers collect answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode, which helps teams tracking how brands appear in AI search. One subscription covers every product, including residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter proxies, Web Unblocker and an agent browser, so a team can mix approaches without new contracts. Entry pricing is the lowest here: $5 in welcome credits, then Starter at $15 a month, Basic at $100 and Flexible at $500, with Enterprise from $2,500. Scrape results start at $0.50 per 1,000 and fall to $0.25 at volume, but rendered Google results cost $1.35 per 1,000 on small plans. Expect to spend some time choosing between the many products.
