I’ve been using Oxylabs for a little over a year plus now in my role as a Social Media Marketing Specialist. A big part of my day is checking how competitor posts and ads perform across different cities and regions so we can adjust our own creative. Before this, I used Smartproxy. It was fine when our volume was small, but once we started needing consistent city-level results, the blocks became frustrating and I ended up wasting time dealing with failed pulls. I switched mainly because the residential pool here feels more stable, and the location targeting actually holds up in the markets we care about.<br><br>What stands out for me is the flexibility: I can set a sticky session when I need to stay on the same IP for a longer look at a profile or an ad library, and then switch to rotating when I’m running broader competitor scans. The endpoint generator in the dashboard is straightforward, I just choose the country or city I need, copy the string, and plug it into the tools I already use. Support has been solid as well. The last time I ran into a strange auth issue, they replied the same day and walked me through it without the usual runaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s not the cheapest option out there. When I was testing some lower-volume providers, the price difference was pretty noticeable. The initial account verification also took longer than I expected, which pushed back my start by about a day. That said, once everything was approved, I haven’t run into any major problems.
