ProxyEmpire alternatives with lower published list checkouts
ProxyEmpire’s standard residential tiers leave several consistent price alternatives. Decodo, Evomi, Thordata, and Webshare cost less at every sampled volume. Geonode costs more only at 1 GB, then costs less from 2 through 1,000 GB. These comparisons use the standard prices recorded by the dataset, not ProxyEmpire’s limited-time 50 percent promotion, whose end date was not published. They do not rank network quality.

Scope and calculation
The engine checks residential requirements at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 GB. It selects the cheapest published standard checkout that covers each amount. Unused bundle traffic remains part of the cost. The recorded EMPIRE50 promotion is excluded from the comparison because it is time-limited and has no published end date, so a buyer should recheck the live checkout before acting.

ProxyEmpire’s standard ladder
The pay-as-you-go price is $7 at 1 GB. Standard monthly checkouts are $40 for 7 GB, $150 for 28 GB, $300 for 60 GB, $600 for 135 GB, $1,250 for 315 GB, $1,750 for 500 GB, and $3,000 for 1,000 GB. ProxyEmpire publishes unlimited concurrent sessions and threads, rotating, sticky, and timed modes, and traffic that does not expire and rolls over. Its purchases are non-refundable.

1. Decodo: cheaper at every sampled volume
Decodo costs $4 against ProxyEmpire’s $7 at 1 GB. At 5 GB, Decodo’s covering checkout is $35 against $40; at 100 GB it is $275 against $600. The difference remains at 1,000 GB, where Decodo costs $2,000 and ProxyEmpire’s standard tier costs $3,000. No sampled list-price reversal occurs. Decodo residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:31:32Z ProxyEmpire pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:46:14Z
Decodo publishes sticky sessions up to 30 minutes and country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. It does not publish a concurrency maximum, traffic expiry, or rollover on the provider’s page in the row. ProxyEmpire explicitly publishes unlimited sessions and threads plus non-expiring rollover on the provider’s page, so those missing Decodo terms need resolution before switching.

2. Evomi: cheaper across the full ladder
Evomi costs $3.98 against $7 at 1 GB, $30 against $40 at 2 and 5 GB, and $49.99 against $150 at 10 and 20 GB. At 100 GB, the totals are $49.99 and $600. At 1,000 GB, Evomi’s Core allowance plus overage on the provider’s page totals $490.99 against ProxyEmpire’s $3,000 standard tier. Evomi pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z ProxyEmpire pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:46:14Z
Evomi publishes unlimited concurrency, sticky sessions up to 24 hours, and continent, country, region, city, ASN, and ISP targeting. Its subscription traffic does not roll over, although pay-as-you-go traffic has no time limit. ProxyEmpire’s unused traffic does not expire. The Evomi product selected at the target volume and its shorter subscription validity are the switching constraints.

3. Thordata: lower at all ten points
Thordata costs $2 against $7 at 1 GB and $18 against $150 at 10 GB. Its 150 GB tier costs $150 at the 100 GB requirement, while ProxyEmpire’s 135 GB checkout is $600. At the top of the sampled range, Thordata’s 1,000 GB tier costs $730 against ProxyEmpire’s $3,000. Thordata pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z ProxyEmpire pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:46:14Z
Thordata publishes unlimited concurrent sessions, a 90-minute sticky maximum, and country, state, city, and ASN targeting. It requires a compliance review for every new user, while traffic expiry and rollover are not published. ProxyEmpire publishes rollover, non-expiring traffic, unlimited threads, and a wider recorded targeting set. Those terms are the price tradeoff.

4. Webshare: lower at every sampled checkout
Webshare costs $3.50 against ProxyEmpire’s $7 at 1 GB. Its 10 GB checkout is $27.50 against ProxyEmpire’s $40 at 2 and 5 GB and $150 at 10 GB. At 100 GB, Webshare costs $225 against $600; at 1,000 GB it costs $1,500 against $3,000. The Webshare page displays these prices as a discount from a crossed-out rate without a published end date. Webshare residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z ProxyEmpire pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:46:14Z
Webshare records rotating access and country or city filtering, but not sticky access, concurrency, expiry, or rollover. ProxyEmpire publishes all of those session and traffic controls except a sticky duration. The Webshare price therefore needs both a live-price check and confirmation that the narrower published control set covers the workload.

5. Geonode: more at 1 GB, cheaper from 2 GB
At 1 GB, ProxyEmpire’s $7 pay-as-you-go price is below Geonode’s $7.92 minimum. At 2 and 5 GB, ProxyEmpire moves to $40 while Geonode remains $7.92. Geonode stays lower through 1,000 GB, including $64.80 against $600 at 100 GB and $500 against $3,000 at 1,000 GB. Geonode pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:42:45Z ProxyEmpire pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:46:14Z
Geonode’s bandwidth never expires and it records country, city, and ASN targeting. It does not publish a concurrency maximum or sticky-session duration. ProxyEmpire publishes unlimited sessions and threads plus region, state, ISP, and other targeting fields. A high-parallelism or narrowly targeted workload should resolve those missing Geonode fields first.

Decision rule
All five named providers have a lower standard checkout somewhere, and four stay lower across the full sample. The live decision still needs a promotion check because ProxyEmpire and Webshare both record discounts without end dates. After price, verify expiry, rollover, targeting, sticky behavior, concurrency, refunds, and KYC against the workload. Dataset calculation dated 2026-07-26; vendor evidence retrieved 2026-07-25
