ProxyScrape alternatives at the volumes where they cost less
ProxyScrape’s 30-day residential ladder is not uniformly expensive or cheap. Geonode costs less from 5 GB onward. DataImpulse, Evomi, and Thordata each move above and below ProxyScrape as bundle thresholds change. Squid Proxies costs less from 10 through 250 GB, the last volume both sides can quote. These are checkout-price findings, not findings about success rate, latency, IP availability, or support. Dataset calculation dated 2026-07-26; vendor evidence retrieved 2026-07-25

Scope and calculation
The comparison samples residential requirements of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 GB. At each point, it selects the cheapest published plan that covers the requested traffic and charges the whole bundle. The computed winner can therefore change when either provider moves to a larger checkout. A change between samples brackets a crossing; it is not an exact break-even calculation.

ProxyScrape’s price to beat
The engine chooses ProxyScrape’s 30-day residential option throughout this sweep. A 1 or 2 GB requirement produces a $7.50 minimum checkout, 10 GB costs $28.50, 100 GB costs $220, and 1,000 GB costs $1,500. This option publishes rotating and sticky access, sticky sessions up to 120 minutes, unlimited concurrent connections, and country, state, and city targeting. Its traffic expires after 30 days and does not roll over, so the cheaper checkout is tied to the shortest recorded validity window.

1. Geonode: cheaper from 5 GB onward
ProxyScrape wins the first two samples: $7.50 against Geonode’s $7.92 checkout at both 1 and 2 GB. At 5 GB, ProxyScrape moves to $14.25 while Geonode still charges $7.92 for 10 GB. Geonode remains lower through the rest of the shared ladder, including $64.80 against $220 at 100 GB and $500 against $1,500 at 1,000 GB. Geonode pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:42:45Z ProxyScrape pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
Geonode records country, city, and ASN targeting, while ProxyScrape records country, state, and city. Geonode’s bandwidth never expires, but its residential row does not publish a concurrency maximum or sticky-session duration. A workload using state filters or ProxyScrape’s published session controls needs those gaps resolved before switching.

2. DataImpulse: four separate winning ranges
DataImpulse costs $5 against ProxyScrape’s $7.50, $7.50, and $14.25 at 1, 2, and 5 GB. It loses at 10 GB because its next checkout is $50 against $28.50, wins again at 20 and 50 GB, loses at 100 and 250 GB, then wins at 500 and 1,000 GB with its $800 tier. That pattern makes a generic “lower-priced” label inaccurate without a traffic amount. DataImpulse residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
DataImpulse publishes rotating and sticky access, traffic that never expires, rollover on the provider’s page, and country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. Its row does not publish a concurrency ceiling or sticky-session duration. ProxyScrape publishes unlimited concurrency and a 120-minute sticky maximum, so those two controls are the switching check.

3. Evomi: 1 GB, then 20 GB and above
Evomi’s $3.98 pay-as-you-go checkout beats ProxyScrape’s $7.50 at 1 GB. ProxyScrape costs less at 2, 5, and 10 GB. Evomi then moves to its $49.99 Core allowance, which is below ProxyScrape’s $53 at 20 GB and remains below it through 1,000 GB. At 100 GB the checkouts are $49.99 and $220; at 1,000 GB they are $490.99 and $1,500. Evomi pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z ProxyScrape pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
Evomi publishes unlimited concurrency, sticky sessions up to 24 hours, and continent, country, region, city, ASN, and ISP targeting. Its Core subscription traffic does not roll over, while its pay-as-you-go traffic has no time limit. A switcher must compare the Evomi product selected at the target volume, not transfer the pay-as-you-go expiry terms to the Core price. Evomi pricing and FAQ, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
4. Thordata: cheap at 1 GB and from 10 GB, with exceptions
Thordata costs $2 at 1 GB, then loses at 2 and 5 GB because its 10 GB checkout is $18 against ProxyScrape’s $7.50 and $14.25. It wins at 10 GB with $18 against $28.50, loses at 20 GB with $75 against $53, and wins every sampled point from 50 through 1,000 GB. Its 1,000 GB checkout is $730 against $1,500. Thordata pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Thordata publishes unlimited concurrent sessions, sticky sessions up to 90 minutes, and country, state, city, and ASN targeting. It also requires all new users to complete a compliance review. Expiry and rollover on the provider’s page are not published in its plan row. The KYC step and unknown traffic validity are the main constraints against ProxyScrape’s immediate purchase and explicit 30-day term. Thordata session and KYC evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z
5. Squid Proxies: cheaper from 10 through 250 GB
Squid Proxies loses at 1, 2, and 5 GB because its first 10 GB package costs $15. It becomes cheaper at 10 GB, where ProxyScrape costs $28.50, and stays cheaper through 250 GB. At 100 GB, Squid’s 120 GB package costs $120 against $220; at 250 GB, its 400 GB package costs $300 against $487.50. Squid has no quotable 500 or 1,000 GB row, so the claim stops at 250 GB. Squid Proxies residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:41:11.108Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Squid’s packages also carry 1, 3, 10, or 25 proxy slots as the included traffic rises. Its dataset row records rotating access and 30-day traffic, but not sticky sessions, geographic targeting, or a concurrency maximum. Those missing controls make it a narrower price comparison than the traffic totals alone suggest. Squid Proxies residential evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:41:11.108Z
Decision rule
Use the next billing period’s required traffic and validity window. Geonode has one low-volume exception; the other four alternatives have multiple reversals or a shorter shared ladder. Then verify the session, targeting, KYC, slot, and expiry constraint that applies to the workload. The dataset proves only that each named provider has a lower published checkout at the stated volume. Dataset calculation dated 2026-07-26; vendor evidence retrieved 2026-07-25
