Best proxies for mid-market teams
Mid-market is the sweet spot most buyers actually sit in: past the free tier, short of enterprise volume, and weighing price against performance and how much hand-holding the dashboard needs.
1.
Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) Best all-round balanceOur pick
Decodo is the strongest middle option on price, speed and usability. It starts at $4/GB and falls to $2.75 by 100 GB, was the fastest network measured in 2026 at 0.53s with 99.92% success, and the dashboard is easy to run. Signup goes through Impact and wants a real site, but the recurring program is worth it.
2.
Webshare Cheaper, and scales down nicely
Webshare is the lowest entry at $3.50/GB and the cheapest at volume, reaching $1.40/GB by 3000 GB, with a free tier to test first. It is slightly slower than Decodo at 0.86s but posted 99.28% success. The pick when budget leads.
3.
Oxylabs Step up when reliability leads
If a handful of jobs need the very best success on hard targets, Oxylabs at 99.93% is the upgrade. Entry at $6/GB makes it the pricier choice until you commit volume.
The call
For most mid-market teams, Decodo is the pick: fast, well-priced, and easy to run.
Choose Webshare when budget leads and you can give up a little speed, and step up to Oxylabs for the jobs where success rate is everything.
FAQ
Best proxy for a growing team?
Decodo, for the balance of price, speed and usability. Webshare if budget is the main constraint.
How cheap does mid-volume get?
Decodo reaches $2.75/GB at 100 GB, and Webshare $2.25/GB at 100 GB and lower beyond that.
Do I need enterprise plans yet?
Usually not. Enterprise pricing and compliance matter at high volume or under legal review, not for typical mid-market jobs.
