Both can do the job. The gap is price, pool size, and how hard your targets push back. Here is how they line up on the numbers I track, then a straight call on which one to start with.

The call

Webshare is the cheaper way in, from $3.50/GB against from $6.00/GB for Oxylabs.

Oxylabs runs the larger pool (175M+ vs 80M+), which shows up when a target blocks IPs aggressively.

For hard targets at volume, Oxylabs is the safer pick.

If price is the whole constraint, start on Webshare and move up only when a job needs it.

This call is from list price and pool size, not a head-to-head test of these two. See the full reviews for the success rates I have measured.
