HProxy vs Webshare.io: Residential Prices, Monthly Plans and the Terms (2026)

Compared against Webshare

For rotating residential proxies, HProxy costs less per GB than Webshare at almost every size, billed monthly or yearly. The one exception is Webshare's yearly plan of 3,000 GB a month, at $0.98 per GB, just under our Residential Premium floor. Webshare's unused GB also reset every month, while ours have no scheduled expiry date. Webshare still wins on its free plan and its cheap datacenter proxies. We read Webshare's prices, help center and terms on October 22, 2026. We sell residential proxies, so weigh our view with that in mind.

Webshare.io vs HProxy at a glance

Webshare sells rotating residential traffic as a monthly plan of GB. It targets a country, a city, a network (ASN), and a state or ZIP code in the United States. Our Lite stops at the country, and our Premium reaches state, city, network (ASN) and device.

Webshare's figures come from its residential and pricing pages, its help center and its terms, read through our server on October 22, 2026. Its yearly rates come from our Webshare pricing breakdown. Our column draws on the catalog that prices our checkout and on our refund policy.

What a GB of residential traffic costs

Webshare's rate per GB falls as the monthly plan grows. It costs $3.50 at 1 GB, $2.75 at 10 GB, $2.25 at 100 GB, $1.50 at 1,000 GB and $1.40 at 3,000 GB. A struck-through $7.00 sits beside every rung, a list price no plan charges. Yearly billing saves 30 percent, from $2.45 down to $0.98.

How to read it for your job:

• Country-level work. Lite at $0.50/GB and $0.44/GB costs less than any Webshare rate, monthly or yearly.
• State or city targeting. Premium at $1.49/GB and $1.00/GB costs less than Webshare at 1 GB on either term. It also costs less at 3,000 GB billed monthly.
• A steady 3,000 GB a month for a year. Webshare's yearly $0.98 comes in just under Premium. That plan comes to $35,280 over 12 months, and its GB still reset each month.

Put 50 GB side by side. Webshare's plan of that size bills $122.50 a month, while 50 GB of Lite costs $25 once and does not reset.

Unused GB reset every month

Webshare's help center says bandwidth limits "are set monthly and do not roll over". The limit refreshes at the start of each billing cycle. Going over it "will stop your proxies from functioning" until you change the plan. So the price on the ladder holds only if you use the whole plan every month.

Work that comes in bursts pays the most for this rule. A scraper that runs hard one week and sits idle the next still pays for the full month. Our GB have no scheduled expiry date, so a quiet month leaves the balance where it was.

Targeting, sessions and UDP

• Targeting. Webshare's endpoint generator offers a country, a city inside a country, and a state or ZIP code once the United States is selected. State and city cannot be combined, and network (ASN) targeting "cannot be combined with a country". Our Premium reaches the state, city, network (ASN) and device level, while Lite works by country.
• Sessions. Webshare's sticky sessions last from 1 minute to 24 hours, set by a timer in its dashboard. Our Premium sessions run from 3 minutes to 24 hours, so the two are close here. Rotating vs static residential proxies explains which jobs need a long one.
• UDP. Webshare's help center says it does not support UDP proxy connections. HProxy Premium relays UDP through SOCKS5 on any proxy line you enable it for.
• Concurrency. By default, each paid Webshare account runs at most 500 requests at once. More is a paid feature called High Concurrency.

Refunds, payment and ID checks

• Refunds. Webshare's terms say it "may in its sole discretion" refund a subscription canceled within 2 days of payment. A rotating residential plan must have used under 0.1 GB. Our refund policy hands back the unused part of a balance for 14 days, by the card or crypto it was paid with. Traffic already sent through a proxy stays paid.
• Payment. Webshare takes cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Its help center says it "does not plan to add additional payment methods like Crypto or PayPal". HProxy accepts card, crypto, Alipay, Pix and QRIS, with top-ups from $3 in crypto or $10 by the rest, listed on payment options.
• Renewal. Webshare's plans renew by default at the end of each term. Our balance has nothing to renew. You top up when you need more.
• ID checks. Webshare restricts some websites on its residential network and unblocks certain targets after a brief KYC check. At HProxy, signing up and buying need no documents. The few cases where we ask are on our identity checks page.

Where Webshare is the better pick

• A free start. Ten shared datacenter proxies and 1 GB a month, with no time limit and no card. Our live free proxy list serves a similar first test, and when free proxies are fine explains where free is enough.
• Cheap datacenter proxies by the proxy. $2.99 a month for 100 shared proxies, down to $0.0179 each at 60,000. Our datacenter IPv4 is dedicated, at $1.58/IP a month. Our guide to datacenter vs residential proxies explains which one a job needs.
• Cheap shared static residential. $6 a month for 20 proxies, down to $0.225 each at 10,000. Our ISP proxies cost $2.70/IP for a month, and our best ISP proxies comparison sets both against other sellers.
• ZIP code targeting in the United States, which our pools do not offer.
• A steady 3,000 GB a month on a yearly plan, at $0.98 per GB.

Where HProxy is the better pick

• Residential price per GB at nearly every size and term above, with Lite the cheapest for country-level work.
• GB with no scheduled expiry date. A slow month costs nothing extra.
• UDP over SOCKS5 and device targeting on Premium.
• No plan to renew. Pay as you go, from $3 by crypto or $10 by card, Alipay, Pix or QRIS.
• A wider refund. 14 days on unused balance, crypto included.
• Every proxy type we sell on one balance: residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile.

Who should pick which

Pick Webshare for a free start, for cheap shared datacenter or static residential proxies by the month, or for ZIP code targeting in the United States. It is also the cheaper pick for a steady 3,000 GB a month on a yearly plan.

Pick HProxy for residential traffic at a lower price per GB, with no plan to renew. Use Lite when a country is all the job asks for, and Premium when it asks for a state, a city, a network, a device or UDP.

Try it before you decide

A free start exists on our side too: the proxy checker and the live free proxy list let you test a tool's proxy settings without paying. We published a study of 129,131,311 proxy checks behind the list. Paid residential traffic starts at $0.50 per GB for one GB, and full pricing lays out both ladders. Our Webshare review covers the rest of Webshare's products. The cheapest residential proxies in 2026 puts Webshare beside the rest of the market.

Limits of this comparison

• No proxy tests. No traffic went through Webshare's proxies or ours for this page, so speed, success rates and blocks are outside it.
• Pool sizes. Webshare's pool figures are its own claims. We make none about ours.
• Older reads. The yearly rates per GB come from Webshare's yearly view on September 9, 2026. On October 22, its pricing page still offered 30 percent off for yearly billing. The UDP answer and the concurrency cap come from help articles read September 26, 2026.
• Our balance. Our GB carry no scheduled expiry date, and our terms cover the pool behind each purchase for 30 days.
• One day. Prices and terms change without notice. Check again after December 22, 2026.
