Webshare User Reviews
Webshare offers a comprehensive range of web scraping and data collection products, from proxies to data sets and data APIs.
User Review Summary
Reviewers disagree on the quality of customer support, with some praising the helpful AI and human agents while others report ignored messages and unhelpful automated responses. Users frequently complain about sudden demands for government identification that result in account suspensions and privacy concerns. While some find the proxies affordable and effective, others report slow speeds, incorrect locations, and technical errors with SOCKS5 support. Additionally, customers find the dashboard difficult to navigate and note that canceling subscriptions is intentionally complicated.

I couldn't believe how amazing the support was and I'm not even a customer. I had a charge on my card and they were on top of it and overly responsive which was amazing. Thank you so much team.
⭐ Extremely Disappointing Experience…
⭐ Extremely Disappointing Experience with Webshare
My experience with Webshare has been absolutely terrible. The IPs keep changing almost every day, causing serious disruptions to my work and resulting in losses worth thousands of dollars. The most frustrating part is that I specifically purchased their premium residential proxies, expecting reliability and stability, but even those have turned out to be a complete waste of money. I feel like my investment in these premium proxies has gone down the drain.
If Webshare is changing or rotating IPs on its own, the least they can do is notify customers in advance. Customers rely on these IPs for important business operations, and unexpected changes can cause serious problems and financial losses.
Now, who is going to compensate me for the thousands of dollars I have lost because of these issues? I paid for a premium service, but instead of getting the reliability I expected, I am left dealing with constant problems and wasted money.
I expected much better service, transparency, and customer support from Webshare. Unfortunately, this has been one of the worst experiences I have had with a proxy provider. Webshare needs to improve its IP stability, inform customers before making changes, and take responsibility for the inconvenience and financial damage caused. I would not recommend this service based on my experience.
Webshare is the best
As far as I’m concerned, Webshare is the best proxy service. Their support is top-notch; although an AI responds initially, you get connected to a human agent for more serious issues. The quality of the proxies is excellent—I will definitely continue using Webshare for as long as I need them.
