Which should you pick?
Choose Storm Proxies if this fits: simple unlimited-bandwidth rotating proxies for light use. Storm Proxies is simple and cheap with unlimited bandwidth, but the pool is tiny and the targeting is minimal. Fine for light work, wrong for anything demanding.
Choose Webshare if this fits: cheapest datacenter proxies and the only real free tier. Webshare is where you go when the target is undefended and the budget is small. Ten free proxies to start, and a hundred more for the price of a coffee.
Overall, our scores favor Webshare (8.2 vs 6.0) - but the right choice depends on which trade-offs matter to you. Read the full Storm Proxies review and Webshare review.
