Thordata alternatives ranked by cost at 20 GB
Thordata’s cheapest published residential purchase that covers 20 GB costs $75 and includes 50 GB. Five alternatives have lower standalone checkouts at the same requirement. The list is sorted by computed checkout, with a tie where one cent separates Evomi and DataImpulse. It does not rank pool quality, delivery rate, or support because the dataset has no controlled benchmark for those outcomes.

The fixed-volume ranking
The pricing engine selects the cheapest published bundle that actually covers 20 GB. Any unused allowance still belongs in the checkout total. A dependent add-on or a rate without a complete purchase cost is not ranked. The five lowest qualifying alternatives are:

What Thordata still publishes better
Thordata publishes unrestricted concurrent sessions, rotating and sticky modes, a 90-minute sticky maximum, account-wide pooling, and country, state, city, and ASN targeting. It also requires every new user to pass a use-case compliance review before access. Traffic expiry, rollover on the provider’s page, commitment, thread limits, and the refund window are not published, so none can be assumed permissive.

Against the cheaper set, Thordata’s unrestricted concurrency is better documented than Geonode, Squid Proxies, and DataImpulse, which do not publish a ceiling. Its 90-minute sticky maximum is also more specific than those three providers’ unpublished limits. Thordata records state and ASN targeting together, a combination missing from Geonode, Squid Proxies, Evomi, and ProxyScrape. Evomi and ProxyScrape publish stronger session limits in other respects, so the incumbent does not win every feature comparison. Thordata residential pricing evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z
1. Geonode
Geonode costs $18.45 for 25 GB, which is $56.55 below Thordata’s covering bill. It publishes non-expiring traffic, both rotation modes, and country, city, and ASN targeting. Its concurrency and sticky duration are not published, and state targeting is absent from the captured fields. Thordata has the clearer fit for high parallelism or state-level sessions, but Geonode has much clearer traffic-validity terms.

2. Squid Proxies
Squid Proxies costs $40 for a 30 GB, three-slot bundle. Its captured row publishes rotating access and a 30-day term. Sticky access, geo targeting, concurrency, rollover on the provider’s page, and sticky duration are not published. The vendor’s pages also disagree on rotation timing and refund length. Thordata costs $35 more, but publishes unrestricted sessions, sticky access, a 90-minute limit, and four targeting levels. Squid Proxies residential plans, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:41:11.108Z
Joint 3. Evomi
Evomi’s $49.99 Core bundle covers 100 GB and publishes unrestricted concurrency, a 24-hour sticky maximum, and broad geographic controls. Its allowance expires after 30 days without rollover. Evomi is stronger on sticky duration and documented traffic terms. Thordata adds state targeting and account-wide pooling, but also introduces mandatory compliance review and leaves expiry unpublished. The lower Evomi checkout is not offset by a general Thordata feature win. Evomi pricing and session evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
Joint 3. DataImpulse
DataImpulse costs $50 for 50 GB, the same allowance selected for Thordata within a $25 checkout difference. Its traffic never expires and it records country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. Concurrency and sticky duration are not published. Thordata’s unrestricted concurrency and 90-minute sticky limit are its concrete advantages; DataImpulse has the stronger expiry and ZIP-targeting evidence.

5. ProxyScrape
ProxyScrape costs $53 for exactly 20 GB. It publishes unrestricted concurrency and sticky sessions up to 120 minutes, plus country, state, and city targeting. Its traffic expires after 30 days without rollover. Thordata adds ASN targeting and account-wide pooling, while ProxyScrape has a longer documented sticky limit and clearer expiry. The $22 saving should be weighed against ASN needs rather than brand familiarity. ProxyScrape residential product details, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
Decision rule
Geonode leads on checkout, and Evomi is the most completely documented cheaper substitute. Thordata’s defensible reasons to stay are unrestricted concurrency, a published 90-minute sticky limit, account-wide pooling, and combined state plus ASN targeting. Its mandatory compliance review and unpublished traffic validity remain switching friction. Confirm expiry, rollover, commitment, and refund terms before comparing the $75 bundle as a complete economic product. Price-data methodology and dataset scope dated 2026-07-26
