Oxylabs pricing in 2026, by product and job

Oxylabs prices each product on its own meter. Residential Proxies start at $30 a month for 5GB ($6/GB) on the 29 August 2026 product-page cards. Web Scraper API Micro is $49 a month for up to 98,000 results, billed on successful 2xx and 4xx responses. Web Unblocker Micro is $75 list, or $45 with coupon WU40, for 8GB. Oxylabs MCP has no separate SKU. Scraper tools consume Web Scraper API results; AI Studio tools consume AI Studio credits from $12 a month for 3,000 credits. Trends MCP does not sell proxies or HTML collection. For live multi-source trend boards and keyword growth in Cursor, Trends MCP starts at $0 for 100 requests or $19 for 1,000.

What does Oxylabs charge for Residential Proxies?

The Residential Proxies product page on 29 August 2026 printed four self-serve cards: Starter 5GB at $30 ($6/GB), Basic 20GB at $100 ($5/GB), Advanced 125GB at $500 ($4/GB), and Corporate 1TB at $2,500 ($2.50/GB). VAT may apply. Starter and Basic top up to 100GB; Advanced and Corporate top up to 2TB. The same page's FAQ still says plans start from $99 a month with an 11GB allowance, which matches none of those four cards. The site-wide pricing hub says residential "Starts from $6/GB" (the Starter rate). The nav pricing dropdown on the same fetch advertised residential from $2.50/GB, which is the Corporate rate.

Common features on the cards: unlimited concurrent sessions, 3 proxy users, sticky sessions, HTTP(S), HTTP3, and SOCKS5, free geo-targeting, and 10 whitelisted IPs. IPv4/IPv6 selection and OS filters are marked inactive on Starter, Basic, and Advanced, with a tooltip that they are available on plans with a Dedicated Account Manager; Corporate turns both on. The quality block claims a 0.41s response time and 175M+ IPs across 195 countries. The card feature list says an average 0.6s response time and average 99.95% success. Sticky sessions keep the same IP for up to 24 hours. The endpoint in the Python sample is pr.oxylabs.io:7777. Oxylabs counts residential IPs as pool size times unique exit nodes per day times days in the quarter, and says the figure moves month to month. A free trial exists once, via the contact form or [email protected], not as a self-serve checkout SKU. Hub payments listed on 29 August 2026: cards, wire in USD and euros, AliPay, PayPal. Bitcoins are refused. Fees are quoted without tax; Oxylabs adds sales or VAT where required.

What does Web Scraper API bill on a successful result?

Web Scraper API bills per successful result, not per attempt. The pricing FAQ on 29 August 2026 defines success as HTTP 2xx or 4xx. System errors that return 5xx or 6xx are free. Headless Browser, Custom Parser, OxyCopilot, Scheduler, batch queries, and cloud integration are included; Headless Browser uses more traffic, so the same plan burns results faster. The Micro copy states up to 98,000 results only if every result is Amazon with no JavaScript. Split Amazon (no JS), eBay (no JS), and Walmart (with JS) and that Micro envelope falls to around 16,000 results per target.

The same /products/scraper-api/web/pricing URL returned two grids during this run. The later JSON payload used product code SCRAPER_4CARDS: Free Trial (up to 2,000 results, no credit card, 10 requests/s), Micro $49 (up to 98,000, Amazon $0.50/1K, Google $1.00/1K, Other $1.15/1K, JS $1.35/1K, media $3/GB, top up $249, 50 requests/s), Starter $99 (up to 220,000, Amazon $0.45, Google $0.90, Other $1.10, JS $1.30, media $2.50/GB, top up $499), Business $999 (up to 3,330,000, Amazon $0.30, Google $0.60, Other $0.75, JS $1.00, media $1/GB, 100 requests/s), and Custom+ from $0.25/1K (Google $0.50, Other $0.70, JS $0.95, media $0.95/GB, top up $2,000). An earlier fetch of that URL returned an eight-plan Regular/Enterprise toggle: the same Free Trial, Micro, and Starter rows, plus Advanced $249 (up to 622,500, Amazon $0.40/1K), Venture $499 (up to 1,350,000), Business $999, Corporate $2,000 (up to 8,000,000, Amazon $0.25/1K), and Custom+. Check the live page before buying; this post keeps both payloads.

Google Trends: Explore is a Web Scraper API source, google_trends_explore, posted to https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries. Docs warn that scraped Explore data may not match the browser UI. Context keys include date_from, date_to (oldest 2004-01-01), category_id, and search_type (web_search, image_search, google_shopping, youtube_search). geo_location takes a two-letter ISO country code. Output is already structured (interest_over_time, breakdown_by_region, related_topics, related_queries); the parse flag is unnecessary. The HTTP sample on that docs page writes category_id onto context[0][value], which overwrites date_from. Use the JSON sample instead.

How much is Web Unblocker with coupon WU40?

Web Unblocker pricing on 29 August 2026 attached coupon WU40 to every card. Free Trial is 1GB (up to 10k results), no credit card, 10 requests/s. Regular Micro is 8GB at $75 list ($9.40/GB) or $45 with the coupon ($5.64/GB), top up to 73GB, 50 requests/s. Starter is 38GB at $325 list ($8.60/GB) or $196 ($5.16/GB), top up 143GB. Advanced is 88GB at $660 list ($7.50/GB) or $396 ($4.50/GB). Enterprise Venture is 128GB at $900 list ($7/GB) or $538 ($4.20/GB). Business is 333GB at $2,000 list ($6/GB) or $1,199 ($3.60/GB), 100 requests/s, Dedicated Account Manager on. Corporate is 700GB at $3,500 list ($5/GB) or $2,100 ($3.00/GB). Custom+ is sales. The nav dropdown advertised Unblocker from $3/GB with a $5 strike and "−40% Off", which is the Corporate coupon rate, not Micro. The pricing hub's "Starts from 9.4" matches Micro list $9.40/GB. Features listed on the grid: proxy-like single-entry node, JavaScript rendering, session reuse.

Does Oxylabs MCP have its own price?

No. GitHub oxylabs/oxylabs-mcp (PyPI oxylabs-mcp 0.9.2, registry io.oxylabs/oxylabs-mcp) documents ten tools in two credential buckets. Web Scraper API username and password enable universal_scraper, google_search_scraper, amazon_search_scraper, and amazon_product_scraper. An AI Studio API key enables ai_scraper, ai_crawler, ai_browser_agent, ai_search, ai_map, and generate_schema. Hosted MCP is https://mcp.oxylabs.io/mcp. Cursor hosted JSON uses url plus headers and does not set transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oxylabs": {
      "url": "https://mcp.oxylabs.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Basic <base64 of username:password>",
        "X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Local Cursor/Claude Desktop spawn is uvx + oxylabs-mcp with OXYLABS_USERNAME, OXYLABS_PASSWORD, and OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY. Docs say to omit placeholders; leftover dummy values expose tools that fail. Hosted Web Scraper API auth is Authorization: Basic or the pair X-Oxylabs-Username / X-Oxylabs-Password. AI Studio is X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key. GitHub README lists a 1-week Web Scraper API trial and 1,000 free AI Studio credits. AI Studio FAQ also says 1,000 trial credits, then $12/month for 3,000 credits at 1 request/s. The AI Studio Quick Start page on the same day says 10,000 free credits. Paid AI Studio rows on 29 August 2026: Lite $62/month for 100K credits at 5 requests/s; Standard $250 for 500K at 10/s; Custom from $1,200+ for 1.35M+ at 25/s. Credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll. Markdown output is free on several apps; JS scrape is 4 credits; a prompt is 10; a browser click or form fill is 4. MCP support is listed on every paid AI Studio plan. There is no google_trends_explore tool on the MCP server; Explore still goes through REST source.

Trends MCP Cursor JSON, from docs.md on 29 August 2026, is a different shape: Bearer on api.trendsmcp.ai, with transport set to http.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trends-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp",
      "transport": "http",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

That install is documented on the MCP server for Cursor page. Claude.ai Connectors use a second host on www with OAuth and no API key in the connector config. Three tools only: get_time_series, get_growth, get_top_trends.

Which job should pay Oxylabs versus Trends MCP?

Oxylabs wins HTML collection, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling, and Amazon or Google Search scrape-to-JSON. Trends MCP wins a live ranked board or a multi-window growth print without fetching Google Trends HTML. The table uses public pages fetched 29 August 2026. Trends MCP HTML /pricing marketed 35+ data sources, Free as top 10 trends plus 12 months plus 24-hour delayed data, a 7-day paid trial with the card charged on day 8, failed calls free, and 9,496,055 API calls served on this fetch. docs.md the same day lists 15 keyword sources (no python) and 24 live feed names, including TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category and Amazon Best Sellers by Category. data-sources.md lists 20 live feeds and omits all four by Category boards. llms.txt says plus 21 live feeds. The MCP get_growth schema still lists python. Do not flatten those counts.

A nearby proxy and SERP bill to line up against is Bright Data pricing. Actor-based collection, including Google Trends scrapers billed per row, sits on Trends MCP vs Apify.

FAQ

Is Oxylabs MCP free?

The MCP server package is MIT-licensed and the hosted endpoint has no extra line item. Every scraper tool call still spends Web Scraper API results. Every AI Studio tool call still spends AI Studio credits. A trial can cover a first week of scraper results or a small AI Studio credit bundle; after that the matching product SKU applies.

Why do two Oxylabs pages disagree on residential entry price?

The four cards start at $30 / 5GB. The FAQ on that product page still says $99 / 11GB. The hub says from $6/GB. The nav dropdown says from $2.50/GB. Treat the cards as the checkout grid and treat the FAQ and nav as copy that was not updated with them.

Does Web Scraper API pricing include Google Trends?

Yes, as source google_trends_explore on the same result meter as other targets. Google without JS on Micro is $1.00 per 1,000 successful results. Docs warn of possible mismatch with the Trends website. MCP does not expose that source as its own tool.

How does Trends MCP pricing compare at $49?

Oxylabs Web Scraper API Micro is $49 a month for up to 98,000 Amazon-no-JS results. Trends MCP Pro is also $49 a month, for 5,000 requests, 50 keyword alerts, and the full live-feed set on paid plans (HTML yearly $39/mo, $468 billed annually). Those dollars buy different objects: successful scrape results versus trend-board and growth calls. Pick the meter that matches the job.

Can coupon WU40 be assumed next month?

It was attached to every Unblocker card on 29 August 2026, including Custom+. Promo codes expire. Re-read the Unblocker pricing page before quoting the $45 Micro number as current.
