Provider marketing sells the biggest number on the page. Buyers should buy the smallest one that matters: cost per successful request on their own targets. List price, billing rules, success rate, and how much of the product your tier actually unlocks all feed it.
A rigged table is worthless to a buyer and obvious to a reviewer.
Pool size and pool quality are different axes. A large pool of recycled, previously flagged addresses can lose to a smaller, well-maintained one on your actual targets. Compare the numbers below, then verify with your own benchmark -- ask about IP hygiene, not headcount.
Score both finalists on all five, weight by what your program values, and the winner is usually obvious -- and defensible to whoever signs off.
The protocol is identical -- host, port, credentials. The migration isn't hard; the discipline is running both in parallel long enough to trust the numbers on your real workload.
Replace Oxylabs gateway host and credentials with gw.knoxproxy.com and your KnoxProxy credentials.

Run both providers for a week, compare per-target success, then cut over.
Yes for raw proxy access -- comparable quality at roughly half the residential per-GB price. Oxylabs has an edge if you need their SERP API or Scraper API products.
Oxylabs reports 100M+ residential IPs vs KnoxProxy's 90.4M. Both are deep enough for mainstream targets; Oxylabs may perform better on rare micro-geos.
Yes -- standard proxy protocol. Swap credentials and gateway host. Most teams migrate in under an hour.
Replace Oxylabs gateway host and credentials with gw.knoxproxy.com and your KnoxProxy credentials. Most teams run both providers in parallel for about a week, comparing per-target success, before cutting over fully.
