Best proxies for scraping Shopee and Lazada in Southeast Asia in 2026

I’m based in Singapore, and most of the proxy work I do touches Southeast Asian marketplaces in some way. Shopee and Lazada are the two that matter. Between them they cover Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam (Shopee only for most of the period I care about) and the Philippines, and each country is its own storefront with its own currency, language, pricing and anti-bot behaviour. A proxy that works fine on shopee.sg can get a wall of captchas on shopee.co.id. That is the problem this list tries to solve.

This list is for people doing price monitoring, catalogue research, seller benchmarking or ad verification across SEA marketplaces. If you are a small team pulling a few thousand product pages a day, or an agency tracking competitor prices across six countries, you are the audience. If you need to log into seller accounts or run many accounts, that is a different problem, and the guides on multiaccountops.com and antidetectreview.org are a better starting point than this page.

I picked seven providers. None of them is perfect for this job, and I say where each one falls short. Prices change often, so treat every pricing line below as a rough guide and confirm on the vendor’s own page before you buy. For more reviews and guides, the full proxyscraping.org blog index is the place to browse.

how I picked

I scored each provider on the things that have actually hurt me on SEA marketplace jobs.

country coverage: real residential or mobile IPs in all six SEA markets, with country targeting that works, not just a country list on the sales page. Vietnam and the Philippines are the usual weak spots.
success rate on marketplace pages: how often a product page, search result or category listing comes back as real HTML or JSON, not a captcha, a login redirect or an empty shell.
ISP-level targeting: Shopee and Lazada both seem to treat mobile carrier IPs (Singtel, Maxis, AIS, Telkomsel and similar) more gently than datacenter ranges. I weighted carrier and city targeting.
pricing model and minimums: per GB, per port, per request. Marketplace pages are heavy, and a plan that looks cheap per GB can get expensive when each product page pulls 1 to 3 MB of images and scripts.
session control: sticky sessions long enough to paginate a category, plus easy rotation when you want a fresh IP per request.
support and docs: whether a human answers when a country stops working, and whether the docs are written for people who scrape.

I ignored raw pool size claims. Every vendor advertises tens of millions of IPs. What matters is how many of those are usable in the country you need on the day you need them.

the picks

Bright Data

Bright Data is the biggest name in the market, and for SEA marketplaces it is also one of the most consistent. Their residential network has working coverage in all six countries I care about, and city and ASN targeting is available, which matters if you want to look like a Singtel home user instead of a random residential IP. The control panel is dense, but the zone model (one zone per use case, each with its own country and rotation settings) maps well onto a multi-country marketplace job.

They also sell a Web Unlocker and a scraper API product that handles retries and captchas for you. I have used the unlocker on Lazada category pages when the plain residential route started returning challenge pages, and it recovered most of them. You pay more per successful page, but you also write less retry code. If you want to compare it with the others in more detail, see my Bright Data review.

widest country and city coverage of the seven, including the thinner SEA markets
Web Unlocker absorbs most captcha and challenge pain on Lazada
good documentation and a usable API for managing zones

Cons:

among the most expensive per GB, and the unlocker products add up fast
onboarding includes a verification step that can slow down new accounts

Pricing: pay as you go residential is typically in the single to low double digit USD per GB range, with discounts on committed plans. Check the pricing page.

Oxylabs

Oxylabs is the other enterprise-grade option, and in my experience it behaves a lot like Bright Data on SEA targets: strong coverage, decent success rates, higher prices. Their residential pool lets you target by country, state and city, and their support is quicker than most when you tell them a specific country is degrading. They also have a Web Scraper API with an e-commerce focus, which is relevant if you would rather receive parsed product data than raw HTML.

Where Oxylabs differs is the sales process. Smaller plans exist, but the experience is geared towards teams that talk to an account manager. If you are a solo operator, that can feel like friction. If you are a company with a monthly budget and want an SLA, it feels reassuring. My notes are in the Oxylabs review.

strong residential coverage across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia
e-commerce scraper API can return parsed product data
responsive support for country-specific issues

Cons:

pricing and plan structure favour larger buyers
Vietnam and Philippines depth felt thinner than the big four countries

Pricing: residential plans start at a monthly commitment, with per GB rates that fall as you move up tiers. Confirm current numbers on their site.

Decodo

Decodo is the rebrand of Smartproxy, and it remains the one I recommend most often to people who are new to this. The dashboard is simple, the residential pool covers every SEA country I have needed, and you can be sending requests within ten minutes of signing up. The pricing is noticeably friendlier than Bright Data or Oxylabs, and small plans are available without talking to anyone.

For Shopee and Lazada price monitoring at a modest scale, it is a sensible default. I would not rely on it for aggressive, high-concurrency crawls of Lazada without testing first, since success rates drop when you push volume through a small slice of a country’s pool. But for a few thousand pages a day across the six markets, it does the job at a price that doesn’t hurt. See the Decodo review for setup notes.

easy onboarding and a clean dashboard
competitive per GB pricing on small and mid plans
country and city targeting that works for all six SEA markets in my usage

Cons:

fewer advanced unlocking features than Bright Data or Oxylabs
success rates can dip at high concurrency on a single country

Pricing: entry residential plans are priced per GB with lower rates at higher volumes. Check the live pricing page.

SOAX

SOAX is worth a look for one reason: its targeting controls are fine grained, including carrier (ASN) selection on residential and mobile pools. For SEA marketplaces that is useful, because carrier IPs often look more natural to the marketplace than generic residential ranges. I have used it when I wanted traffic that appeared to come from a specific mobile network in Indonesia or Thailand.

The tradeoff is that the pool in some smaller countries can be shallow, and you may see repeated IPs on a long job. SOAX pricing is plan based, with a monthly data allowance, so it suits steady workloads more than bursty ones.

carrier and city level targeting on residential and mobile
straightforward plan structure with a simple dashboard
good for jobs that need mobile network origin

Cons:

shallow pools in smaller markets, so IP repeats are common on long crawls
monthly allowance model is awkward for bursty work

Pricing: monthly plans sized by GB, with a trial option at the time of writing. Check the site for current tiers.

IPRoyal

IPRoyal is the budget pick that is better than its price suggests. Their residential proxies are sold per GB, the traffic does not expire quickly on pay as you go plans, and that is a real advantage for marketplace work that comes in bursts, like a monthly price audit. Country targeting covers the SEA markets, though I would test Vietnam and the Philippines on your actual target before buying a large pack.

They also sell static residential (ISP) proxies, which are handy when you need a stable Singapore IP for a session that must not change, for example when checking logged-out regional pricing from one consistent location. The support is friendly and the minimums are low.

non-expiring traffic on residential packs suits bursty jobs
low entry cost and small minimums
static residential ISP proxies for stable Singapore sessions

Cons:

success rates on Lazada were less consistent than on the enterprise vendors
no built-in unlocker, so retries and captcha handling are on you

Pricing: residential is sold per GB with volume discounts. Static residential is priced per IP per month. Confirm on the pricing page.

NetNut

NetNut sells ISP-connected residential proxies, meaning many of its IPs route through ISP infrastructure instead of peer devices. In practice that gives you faster, steadier connections, which is handy when you are paginating hundreds of Shopee search pages and don’t want sessions dropping halfway. Speed was the thing I noticed first.

Coverage in SEA is good for Singapore and Malaysia, acceptable for Thailand and Indonesia, and I found it patchier elsewhere. NetNut is more oriented to business customers, and the plans start at a higher commitment than Decodo or IPRoyal. If your job is mostly Singapore and Malaysia and you care about stability, it is a good fit.

stable, fast sessions that hold up on long pagination runs
strong Singapore and Malaysia performance
sensible for business workloads with predictable volume

Cons:

higher entry commitment than the budget options
thinner coverage in Vietnam and the Philippines

Pricing: plans are sold on monthly tiers with included GB. Check the vendor page for current numbers.

Webshare

Webshare is here for a narrow reason. Its datacenter and static residential proxies are very cheap, and they let you pay for exactly what you use. Datacenter IPs are the wrong tool for the hardest Shopee and Lazada pages, since both marketplaces are quick to challenge datacenter ranges. But for lighter jobs, like hitting public product JSON endpoints at a low rate, checking site availability from Singapore, or developing and debugging your scraper before you spend residential bandwidth, it is a cheap and reliable sandbox.

I use it as the first stage in a two stage setup: develop on Webshare, then switch the heavy runs to a residential pool from one of the vendors above. That cuts the amount of expensive residential traffic you burn while you iron out parsing bugs.

very low cost, with a free tier to test on
self service dashboard and quick provisioning
good for development and light, low rate jobs

Cons:

datacenter ranges get challenged quickly on Shopee and Lazada
SEA country choice on cheaper plans is limited

Pricing: datacenter plans are priced per proxy per month. Static residential costs more. Confirm on their site.

how to choose

Start with the countries, not the vendor. If your work is Singapore and Malaysia only, almost any provider on this list will do the job, and you should pick on price and stability. If you need Vietnam or the Philippines, buy a small test pack first and run your real target URLs through it for a day. Pool depth in those two countries varies a lot, and no sales page will tell you the truth about it.

Next, decide whether you want to write retry logic or pay someone else to. Bright Data and Oxylabs charge more partly because their unlocker and scraper API products absorb captchas, header problems and blocked sessions for you. If your team has engineering time, a plain residential pool from Decodo or IPRoyal with your own retries is cheaper per successful page. If you do not, the unlockers pay for themselves. Both marketplaces also publish official routes: Shopee Open Platform and Lazada Open Platform provide APIs for sellers and partners. If you are a seller pulling your own data, use those first, and only scrape what the APIs do not give you.

Then think about bandwidth, because that is where budgets blow up. A marketplace page can carry a lot of images and scripts. Block images and fonts in your headless browser, call the JSON endpoints your browser already uses where you can, and cache aggressively. I have seen a plan that looked cheap per GB cost three times what the buyer expected because every product page loaded full resolution galleries. Mobile carrier IPs, from SOAX or from your own modems, can lower block rates, but they cost more per GB, so save them for the pages that actually need them.

Last, do the boring compliance work. Read each marketplace’s terms of service, respect rate limits, and avoid collecting personal data such as buyer names or reviewer profiles. Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Commission explains the obligations that apply to personal data on its PDPC site, and the other SEA countries have their own rules. This is not legal advice, so talk to a lawyer if your project touches personal data or you are unsure about terms of service.

verdict / top pick

If I had to pick one provider for a typical SEA marketplace monitoring job today, it would be Decodo. It covers all six countries well enough, it is easy to start, and the price is fair for a team that does not want an enterprise contract. For most readers of this site, that is the sensible default.

If your budget is larger and your targets are hard, such as high volume Lazada category crawls, Bright Data is the safer pick because the unlocker saves real engineering time. If you want something cheap and flexible for bursty monthly audits, IPRoyal’s non-expiring traffic is hard to beat, and Webshare is the right place to build and debug your scraper before any residential bandwidth gets spent. Whatever you choose, buy small, test on your actual URLs in each country, and scale only after the numbers look right.
