Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Oxylabs yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Oxylabs across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Bright Data & Oxylabs: As above—hybrid leaders with scraping APIs, pre-built datasets (e.g., e-commerce prices), managed services.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · first choice

“Choose Bright Data or Oxylabs if you need an enterprise-grade platform with broad coverage and stronger managed-data options.” Perplexity Sonar · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · first choice

“For most mid-market B2B operations, Oxylabs or Decodo tend to offer the best balance of reliability, support, and scalability” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Proxy and web data · direct prompt · first choice

“I would recommend Oxylabs if you want the best balance of enterprise-grade reliability, geo-targeting, and support” Perplexity Sonar · Proxy and web data · paraphrase prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid starting with enterprise-heavy plans like Oxylabs residential if budget is tight” GPT-5.4 mini · Proxy and web data · budget prompt · hard negative

“Avoid Enterprise-Only Providers (Bright Data, Oxylabs)” Kimi K2 · Proxy and web data · direct prompt · hard negative

“Users report frequent account blocks triggered by false positives... Frequently cited as being overpriced for smaller-scale projects” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Proxy and web data · negative prompt · soft negative

“Premium enterprise providers like Bright Data and Oxylabs are generally better for large budgets, not limited ones.” Perplexity Sonar · Proxy and web data · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Oxylabs. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 148 of the 160 answers that named Oxylabs and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page oxylabs.io exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Oxylabs's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Oxylabs, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Oxylabs by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Oxylabs is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Oxylabs, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
