# How do I choose the right product?

Learn how to select the most suitable Oxylabs proxy or scraping solution for your use case.

All Oxylabs products draw from one credit balance. You can try more than one before you commit. Start with what you want to get from the web, then check how each product is billed.

### **Start with your goal**

<table data-search="false"><thead><tr><th>If you want to...</th><th>Choose</th><th>What it does</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Give an AI agent live web search and structured data, without managing proxies</td><td><a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/web-api">Web API</a></td><td>/Search finds sources from a query. /Scrape retrieves a page and returns structured data.</td></tr><tr><td>Get reliable access to complex sites with automated request management</td><td><a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/web-unblocker">Web Unblocker</a></td><td>Manages proxies, headers, and browser parameters for you.</td></tr><tr><td>Automate a browser or give an AI agent one</td><td><a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/headless-browser">Agent Browser</a></td><td>A managed browser you connect to with Puppeteer, Playwright, CDP, or an MCP client.</td></tr><tr><td>Run your own scraper through residential IPs with precise geo-targeting</td><td><a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/residential-proxies">Residential Proxies</a></td><td>Residential IPs across 195 countries, with rotating or sticky sessions.</td></tr><tr><td>See what a mobile user sees</td><td><a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/mobile-proxies">Mobile Proxies</a></td><td>IPs from real mobile devices across 140+ countries.</td></tr><tr><td>Keep stable sessions on demanding targets</td><td><a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/isp-proxies">ISP Proxies</a> or <a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies">Dedicated ISP Proxies</a></td><td>Static IPs from premium ASN providers. With Dedicated ISP Proxies, the IPs are private and you choose the ASN.</td></tr><tr><td>Scrape at high volume where speed and price matter most</td><td><a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/datacenter-proxies">Datacenter Proxies</a> or <a href="https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies">Dedicated Datacenter Proxies</a></td><td>Fast, cost-effective IPs. Dedicated Datacenter Proxies are not shared with anyone else.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### **Compare how they're billed**

| Billed per        | Products                                                                             |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| GB of traffic     | Residential Proxies, Mobile Proxies, Web Unblocker, Agent Browser                    |
| Result or search  | Web API                                                                              |
| IP, charged daily | Datacenter Proxies, ISP Proxies, Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, Dedicated ISP Proxies |

Whichever you choose, usage comes out of the same credit balance. See [How pricing and billing work](https://developers.oxylabs.io/help-center/most-popular-questions/custom-pricing-or-a-free-trial) for details.

### **Not sure yet? Test first**

Every new account gets a $5 welcome credit that works on any product. Create an instance for two or three options, send the same request through each, and compare the results and the cost.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developers.oxylabs.io/help-center/most-popular-questions/how-do-i-choose-the-right-product.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
