Ranked by computed cost at a stated volume, with the switching constraint named and reasons to stay.

DataImpulse alternatives ranked at 100 GB

DataImpulse has an unusually wide gap between its public residential tiers. A 100 GB requirement cannot use the $50 package because that package includes 50 GB and no overage on the provider’s page rate is published. The next covering tier includes 1,000 GB and costs $800. Five alternatives have lower published checkouts at exactly 100 GB. This ranking measures checkout cost and recorded constraints, not network delivery, success rate, or support quality.

Ranked residential checkout table

Bold marks the cheapest published checkout at the sampled volume. Dataset calculation dated 2026-07-26

Provider 100 GB checkout

Geonode $64.80
Squid Proxies $120
9Proxy $150
Thordata $150

The ranking at 100 GB

Every result is the least expensive published residential purchase from that provider that covers 100 GB. Unused bundle traffic remains part of the bill, and quote-only rows are excluded.

  1. Evomi costs $49.99 for 100 GB. Its Core subscription covers the requirement exactly. Evomi residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
  2. Geonode costs $64.80 for 100 GB. Its monthly tier also covers the requirement exactly. Geonode residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:42:45Z
  3. Squid Proxies costs $120 for 120 GB and ten proxy slots. The checkout includes 20 GB beyond the requirement. Squid Proxies residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:41:11.108Z
  4. 9Proxy and Thordata tie at $150. 9Proxy includes exactly 100 GB, while Thordata’s covering tier includes 150 GB. An equal checkout does not support inventing an order. 9Proxy package pricing API, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z Thordata residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z

Why DataImpulse jumps at this volume

The standard public ladder offers 50 GB for $50 and then 1,000 GB for $800. At a 100 GB requirement, the smaller package is not sufficient and the dataset does not publish an overage option. The calculation therefore selects the 1,000 GB tier rather than multiplying a lower advertised rate by an unavailable quantity. If all 1,000 GB are eventually used, the published package rate is $0.80 per GB. If only the requested 100 GB are used, the effective checkout is $8 per used GB. Both figures come from the same published tier, but they answer different questions. DataImpulse residential tier evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z Effective-cost explanation

DataImpulse publishes non-expiring traffic, rollover on the provider’s page, rotating and sticky access, and country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. A concurrency ceiling, sticky-session duration, refund window, and free-trial terms are not published for this row. The 1,000 GB allowance is therefore durable and broadly targetable, but several operational limits still need confirmation. DataImpulse residential controls, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z

DataImpulse compared with Evomi

Evomi’s Core checkout is dramatically lower at the stated volume and publishes unrestricted concurrent sessions, 24-hour sticky sessions, rotating access, and a broad targeting set. Its 100 GB subscription expires after 30 days and does not roll over. DataImpulse is stronger when traffic consumption is uncertain or extends beyond one billing cycle because its much larger balance does not expire and rolls forward. It also publishes ZIP targeting, which the selected Evomi row does not. Evomi remains better documented for concurrency, session duration, continent targeting, and ISP targeting.

DataImpulse compared with Geonode

Both providers publish non-expiring residential traffic and rollover, so the validity advantage does not distinguish them. DataImpulse records state and ZIP targeting in addition to country, city, and ASN, making its geographic controls more granular in the captured fields. Neither selected row publishes a concurrency ceiling or sticky-session duration. Geonode’s exact 100 GB bundle is the clear cost choice for a known 100 GB job, while DataImpulse buys 900 GB of additional durable capacity. That headroom matters only if it will actually be used.

DataImpulse compared with Squid Proxies

Squid’s package explicitly provisions ten proxy slots and 120 GB for a 30-day term. Its row publishes rotating access only, while sticky sessions, geographic targeting, concurrency, and rollover are not published. DataImpulse is better documented for both rotation modes, geographic precision, and traffic durability. Squid is better documented for the number of proxy slots attached to the purchase. Its sources also conflict on the rotation interval and initial refund window, so those terms require direct confirmation.

DataImpulse compared with the tied fourth place

9Proxy’s traffic lasts 180 days and supports country, state, city, and ISP targeting. DataImpulse improves on that finite validity with a non-expiring balance and adds ZIP plus ASN targeting, while 9Proxy retains the ISP filter. Thordata publishes unrestricted concurrent sessions, a 90-minute sticky ceiling, country, state, city, and ASN targeting, but its traffic expiry and rollover are not published and new users face a compliance review. DataImpulse gives a firmer validity answer and adds ZIP targeting; Thordata gives the firmer session-capacity answer. 9Proxy residential documentation, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z Thordata session and compliance terms, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z DataImpulse residential controls, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z

Decision rule

For a firm 100 GB forecast, the ranked alternatives avoid paying for 900 GB of unused capacity. Staying with DataImpulse becomes more defensible when the traffic can grow toward the full 1,000 GB, usage timing is unpredictable, ZIP targeting is required, or losing unused balance at a billing boundary would be costly. Confirm the unpublished concurrency, sticky-duration, refund, and trial terms before treating durable bandwidth as a complete substitute for operational fit.
