When to replace Oxylabs

The retained pricing material caps Web Scraper API throughput at 50 requests per second below Business tier and 100 on Business or Corporate, so high-throughput buyers should verify the plan they need. The free trial is capped at 2,000 results, while monthly plans commit to fixed allowances. The MCP server requires separate Web Scraper API or AI Studio credentials and is not a standalone free capability.
