9Proxy alternatives that cost less at specific traffic volumes
9Proxy’s 180-day residential bundles create a wide step between 5 and 55 GB, then another between 100 and 1,000 GB. Geonode costs less at every sampled volume. Evomi, Thordata, DataImpulse, and ProxyScrape also beat 9Proxy at stated points, but each has at least one reversal or tie. The comparison is about published checkout cost only. It does not measure proxy quality or suitability. Dataset calculation dated 2026-07-26; vendor evidence retrieved 2026-07-25

Scope and calculation
The pricing engine checks residential requirements at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 GB. It chooses the cheapest published bundle that covers each requirement, so unused included traffic remains part of the bill. A winner change between two samples shows a bracket, not an exact mathematical crossing. Dataset method and pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
9Proxy’s bundle ladder
The 5 GB entry bundle costs $15 and covers the first three samples. A 55 GB bundle costs $105 and covers 10, 20, and 50 GB. The published 100 GB bundle costs $150, while requirements from 250 through 1,000 GB move to a $800 1,000 GB checkout. Traffic expires after 180 days. The row publishes rotating and sticky access plus country, state, city, and ISP targeting, but no concurrency maximum or sticky duration, and purchases are non-refundable. 9Proxy pricing API, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z 9Proxy session and targeting documentation, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z 9Proxy refund policy, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z
1. Geonode: cheaper at all ten samples
Geonode’s 10 GB minimum costs $7.92 against 9Proxy’s $15 at 1, 2, and 5 GB. At 50 GB, Geonode costs $34.65 against $105. At 100 GB the totals are $64.80 and $150, and at 1,000 GB they are $500 and $800. The pair has no sampled reversal. Geonode pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:42:45Z 9Proxy pricing API, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z
Geonode records country, city, and ASN targeting, rather than 9Proxy’s country, state, city, and ISP set. Its bandwidth never expires, but concurrency and sticky-session duration are unpublished. The lower checkout therefore comes with different targeting fields and two unresolved session controls.

2. Evomi: cheaper except at 2 and 5 GB
Evomi costs $3.98 against $15 at 1 GB. At 2 and 5 GB, its $30 Premium subscription costs more than 9Proxy’s $15 bundle. Evomi moves back below 9Proxy at 10 GB with $49.99 against $105 and stays lower through 1,000 GB. Its checkouts at 100 and 1,000 GB are $49.99 and $490.99 against 9Proxy’s $150 and $800. Evomi pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Evomi publishes unlimited concurrency, sticky sessions up to 24 hours, and continent, country, region, city, ASN, and ISP targeting. Pay-as-you-go traffic has no time limit, while subscription traffic does not roll over after 30 days. Confirm which Evomi product supplies the computed price, since its validity is not the same at every winning volume. Evomi FAQ and residential evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
3. Thordata: two low-volume losses and one tie
Thordata’s $2 entry price beats 9Proxy at 1 GB. Its 10 GB bundle costs $18, so 9Proxy’s $15 bundle wins at 2 and 5 GB. Thordata is cheaper at 10, 20, and 50 GB, ties 9Proxy at $150 for the 100 GB sample, then wins again at 250, 500, and 1,000 GB. The last comparison is $730 against $800. Thordata pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z 9Proxy pricing API, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z
Thordata publishes unlimited concurrent sessions, a 90-minute sticky maximum, and country, state, city, and ASN targeting. It requires a compliance review for all new users, while expiry and rollover on the provider’s page are not recorded. 9Proxy instead publishes a 180-day validity period and ISP targeting. Those differences are the switching gate. Thordata KYC and session evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z 9Proxy documentation, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z
4. DataImpulse: cheaper through 50 GB
DataImpulse’s $5 intro tier beats 9Proxy’s $15 at 1, 2, and 5 GB. Its $50 checkout remains below 9Proxy’s $105 at 10, 20, and 50 GB. At 100 GB, DataImpulse moves to $800 while 9Proxy costs $150. The providers tie at $800 for 250, 500, and 1,000 GB, so DataImpulse is a price alternative only through 50 GB. DataImpulse pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
DataImpulse publishes non-expiring traffic with rollover on the provider’s page, rotating and sticky access, and country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. It does not publish a concurrency maximum or sticky duration. Compared with 9Proxy, the traffic lasts longer and ZIP or ASN filters are recorded, but ISP targeting and explicit 180-day terms are not the same.

5. ProxyScrape: cheaper through 20 GB and again at 250 GB
ProxyScrape costs $7.50 against 9Proxy’s $15 at 1 and 2 GB, $14.25 against $15 at 5 GB, and $28.50 or $53 against $105 at 10 and 20 GB. At 50 and 100 GB, 9Proxy costs less. ProxyScrape wins again at 250 GB with $487.50 against $800, then loses at 500 and 1,000 GB. ProxyScrape pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
The selected ProxyScrape price uses 30-day traffic with no rollover, much shorter than 9Proxy’s 180-day window. ProxyScrape publishes unlimited concurrency, sticky sessions up to 120 minutes, and country, state, and city targeting, but not ISP targeting. The validity loss is substantial enough to check before using the lower checkout.

Decision rule
Geonode is the only named option with a lower checkout at all ten samples. The other alternatives win only across specific bundle ranges. Use the expected purchase volume, then verify traffic validity, refunds, targeting, sticky behavior, concurrency, and any compliance review before making a switch.
