TagX vs Oxylabs

Don't run the infrastructure.
Just receive the finished data.

Oxylabs is best known for selling infrastructure — one of the world's largest proxy pools plus Scraper APIs — billed per gigabyte and per result, which your team integrates and operates. TagX delivers the dataset itself as a fully managed service. You tell us the sources and fields you need; we own the proxies, the scrapers, the parsing and the QA, and ship you clean, structured data — starting with a free sample.

Oxylabs guarantees the infrastructure. TagX guarantees the data.

When you buy proxies and scraper APIs, the SLA covers whether the service is up — turning that into a reliable, clean dataset is still your team's job. With TagX, enterprise support, delivery guarantees and a dedicated team come standard, so your data is someone's job around the clock, not your team's side quest.

The SLA is on the data, not just uptime

Infrastructure providers guarantee that proxies respond and APIs are up. TagX guarantees the outcome — clean, structured records delivered on time, to your schema — because the whole pipeline is ours.

99.9% delivery & freshness SLA

Contractual commitments on delivery volume, freshness and accuracy, monitored 24/7. If a feed slips, it's our incident, not your fire drill at 2am.

A dedicated data team

A named account manager and solutions engineer who know your sources, your schema and your roadmap — accountable for the finished data, not just for keeping a proxy pool online.

Maintenance under SLA

Sites change and defenses evolve constantly. Our team fixes breakages before they reach your dashboards — you never debug a scraper or tune a proxy session yourself.

Compliance built in

We collect only publicly available data with GDPR-aware processes, a DPA and NDA ready to sign, governed access and audit trails built for procurement and infosec review.

Custom sources & scale

New and niche sources built on request and scaled to enterprise volumes, with historical backfill and ongoing feeds — no engineers of yours wiring up proxies per target.

The core difference

Both can get you web data. TagX delivers the dataset, done for you.

Oxylabs is primarily an infrastructure company: it sells one of the largest proxy networks on the market plus Scraper APIs, and your team integrates them, writes the scraping logic, parses the output and runs the pipeline. It also has a managed Datasets arm, but that's a secondary offering next to the infrastructure. TagX is managed-data-first — that's the whole product. We run the entire pipeline and hand you the finished, structured dataset, with no proxies or scrapers on your side.

01

You brief, we scope

Share the sources, fields, volume and refresh cadence you need. We design the collection plan — no proxies to size, no Scraper API to wire up.

02

We build & run it

Our team handles proxy rotation, JS rendering, ban handling, extraction and orchestration on our own infrastructure. No GB to meter, no runs for you to monitor.

03

We QA & structure

Every record is validated, de-duplicated and normalized to your schema. You get analysis-ready data, not API results you still have to parse and clean.

04

You receive the data

Delivered on your schedule as JSON, CSV, Parquet, a REST API or straight into S3, BigQuery or Snowflake. Plug it in and build.

Why teams move to TagX

The value isn't the infrastructure. It's the data in your hands.

No infrastructure to own

No proxies to size, no Scraper API to integrate, no pipeline to run. We operate everything so your team builds products instead of plumbing.

Faster time to data

Skip the integrate-build-tune loop. Brief us and receive a working sample, often within days, then a steady feed — no onboarding a proxy stack.

Analysis-ready, not raw

Data arrives validated, de-duplicated and mapped to your schema — ready for dashboards, models and AI training, not API output you still clean.

Delivered your way

JSON, CSV, Parquet, a REST API, or pushed straight into S3, BigQuery or Snowflake on the cadence you choose. We build the export, not you.

No GB guessing game

Outcome-based pricing per feed or project instead of per-GB proxy traffic and per-result API meters that are hard to forecast as volume grows.

A team behind your SLA

Sites change, defenses evolve, volumes grow. A dedicated team keeps your data flowing and accountable to a delivery SLA — not just proxy uptime.

An honest take

When Oxylabs may be the better fit

  • If you're building your own large-scale scraping infrastructure and want one of the biggest, highest-quality proxy pools on the market, Oxylabs is a genuinely strong choice — with excellent success rates on tough targets and a well-regarded compliance and ethical-sourcing track record.
  • If you have engineers who want direct control over proxies and Scraper APIs, and the volume to justify GB-based and per-result pricing, their infrastructure gives your team that control.
  • Oxylabs also offers a managed Datasets product for teams that want finished data — so if you're already an enterprise customer, it's worth a look alongside TagX.

If you'd rather have a partner whose entire product is delivering the finished data — no proxies, no code, no GB to forecast — that's what TagX does — start with a free sample.

FAQ's

Oxylabs is primarily an infrastructure provider: it sells one of the largest proxy networks on the market plus Scraper APIs that your team integrates, operates and maintains. TagX is a fully managed Data-as-a-Service: you brief us on the sources and fields you need and we deliver the finished, structured dataset. With TagX there are no proxies to meter, no Scraper API to wire up and no pipelines to run — collection, extraction, QA and delivery are all handled for you.

Yes — Oxylabs has a managed Datasets product alongside its proxies and Scraper APIs, so it is not infrastructure-only. The difference is focus: for Oxylabs, managed data is one offering next to a large infrastructure business, whereas for TagX delivering the finished dataset is the entire product. If you want a partner whose whole job is clean, structured data delivered to you — not proxies and APIs to operate — that is where TagX is built to fit.

Yes. With Oxylabs proxies and Scraper APIs, your engineers configure sessions, handle retries, parse results and keep pipelines running. With TagX you never touch a proxy or a scraper — you tell us what data you need and we run the entire pipeline on our own infrastructure, delivering clean, structured records on your schedule.

Oxylabs typically charges per gigabyte of proxy traffic and per successful result for its Scraper APIs, with JavaScript rendering and media often billed as extras, which can be hard to forecast as volume grows. TagX uses predictable, outcome-based pricing per dataset, feed or project, so you pay for the data you receive rather than for traffic, requests and compute. Most teams find this far easier to budget and approve.

TagX does. With proxies and Scraper APIs, a site layout change or a tightened anti-bot defense is still your team's problem to detect and fix. With TagX, site changes, new defenses and shifting volumes are our responsibility under SLA. Our team monitors pipelines 24/7 and fixes breakages before they ever reach your dashboards.

Yes. TagX collects only publicly available data and operates as a compliance-aware managed service, with GDPR-aware processes, a DPA and NDA available on request, governed access and audit trails. We work directly with infosec and procurement teams to meet enterprise data-governance and vendor-review requirements.

Yes. TagX delivers via REST API or straight into your own destination — Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, BigQuery, Snowflake or Redshift — in JSON, CSV, Parquet or NDJSON, mapped to your schema. Pipelines are built and scaled to enterprise volumes with historical backfill plus ongoing scheduled or near real-time feeds.
