7 Top GeoSurf Alternatives for Better Coverage and Lower Cost

When GeoSurf shut down in 2023, teams didn't just lose a vendor. They lost a core piece of infrastructure. Scraping pipelines broke. Ad verification jobs froze. And suddenly, every project that relied on residential IPs had to scramble for a replacement. That shock pushed the market forward. New providers arrived. Pricing became sharper. And the old "big names only" mindset started to fade. Today, you can find strong alternatives that match or beat GeoSurf in coverage, reliability, and feature depth. GeoSurf deserves credit for shaping the enterprise proxy space. But the landscape has moved on. That's why we've narrowed the field to the 7 best GeoSurf alternatives in 2026, and explained what each one is best for—so you can pick the provider that fits your stack and your budget.

7 Top GeoSurf Alternatives for Better Coverage and Lower Cost

The 7 Top GeoSurf Alternatives

1. Swiftproxy

Swiftproxy brings together all the main proxy types in a single platform, including residential and ISP endpoints. Its biggest advantages are stability and control. You can filter by ISP, region, and location, and choose between rotating or sticky sessions, with customizable rotation rules for each project.

It's built for automation-heavy use cases like SEO monitoring, pricing intelligence, QA, app testing, and social media workflows. The dashboard is clean, the API is solid, and usage stats are easy to track.

Pricing is competitive for enterprise volume—starting around $0.70 per GB on selected plans.

Why it stands out:

  • High-speed channels up to 1 Gbps
  • Two authentication options (IP allowlisting or username/password)
  • Easy scaling for teams and enterprise workflows

2. Bright Data

Bright Data is one of the biggest names in the proxy world. It offers residential, mobile, datacenter, and ISP proxies, plus a full suite of data tools like Web Unlocker, SERP API, and scraping APIs.

If you don't want to build your own scraping stack, Bright Data is a shortcut: buy unblocked HTML or structured data instead of handling bypass logic in-house.

But there's a cost. Pricing starts around $5.88 per GB, and can rise depending on proxy type and commitment. Most teams treat Bright Data as a premium tool, not a budget solution.

Why it stands out:

  • Massive endpoint pool
  • Strong geo targeting and session controls
  • Managed unblockers and scraping APIs
  • Ideal for teams that want a full platform

3. Oxylabs

Oxylabs is a top enterprise proxy provider. It offers residential, cellular, datacenter, and ISP endpoints, plus a web unblocker and specialized scraping APIs.

Their IP pool is huge and global, so geo coverage isn't a concern. They're often the choice for large-scale scraping where performance matters.

Pricing is not cheap. Pay-as-you-go can reach $8 per GB, but subscription plans drop the price into the $3–$4 per GB range for large commitments.

Why it stands out:

  • Strong unblocking performance
  • Enterprise-grade SLAs and support
  • Great for complex workflows and high-volume pipelines

4. Decodo

Decodo is built for usability. It offers rotating and static residential, cellular, and datacenter traffic, plus extra tools like a site unblocker and anti-detect browser.

The dashboard and onboarding are user-friendly, even for non-technical teams. Setup wizards, browser extensions, and code snippets make getting started fast.

Pricing typically ranges from $1.50 to $3.50 per GB, depending on plan size. It's flexible, but better suited for teams that don't need full enterprise features.

Why it stands out:

  • Quick onboarding
  • Strong usability
  • Good for mid-size teams and agencies

5. SOAX

SOAX focuses on residential and mobile proxies. It offers strong geo and ASN targeting, letting you filter by country, region, city, and ISP.

If your work requires specific locations or carrier profiles, SOAX is a strong match. It's popular for QA testing, ad verification, and localized data collection.

Pricing is traffic-based, with starter plans around $3.60 per GB.

Why it stands out:

  • Strong geo targeting
  • Stable performance and low latency
  • Ideal for regional testing and verification

6. NetNut

NetNut uses direct ISP connections, which can improve stability and reduce detection rates. The platform offers rotating and static proxies, plus 4G/5G and datacenter options.

NetNut is positioned as infrastructure for AI and BI workloads. Pricing typically starts around $3.50 per GB, with high-volume deals dropping closer to $2–$2.50 per GB.

Why it stands out:

  • ISP-backed architecture
  • Strong throughput and stability
  • Good for large-scale scraping and AI pipelines

7. Webshare

Webshare is a low-friction proxy provider. It offers shared and dedicated datacenter proxies, rotating and static options, and a simple dashboard.

It doesn't bundle advanced tools like scraping APIs or unblockers. But it's incredibly easy to use, and the pricing is aggressive.

Shared datacenter plans start at just a few cents per IP per month. Rotating residential traffic starts around $3.50 per GB.

Why it stands out:

  • Easy onboarding
  • Cheap entry pricing
  • Great for teams that want to run their own scraping stack

Final Thoughts

By 2026, the proxy market is stronger and more competitive than ever. GeoSurf helped shape the industry, but today's alternatives offer better coverage, stability, and pricing. Whether you need enterprise-grade support, precise geo targeting, or a budget-friendly option, these seven providers are the best places to start when rebuilding your IP stack.
