How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Webshare, PacketStream and Proxy-Cheap are among the options shown; mitmproxy and Decodo SERP Scraping API are also included. Consider which protocols your software needs, how many sessions and how much bandwidth your work calls for, and whether location coverage or IP rotation matters. Then weigh those requirements against the listed access methods and pricing.
