DataImpulse vs ProxyScrape: seven price crossings across two traffic ladders
DataImpulse and ProxyScrape alternate the lower checkout seven times across mobile and residential proxy traffic. The mobile crossing brackets are 2 to 5 GB, 10 to 20 GB, and 20 to 50 GB. The residential brackets are 5 to 10 GB, 10 to 20 GB, 50 to 100 GB, and 250 to 500 GB. Both providers have a computed cost at every sampled volume, so each change is a strict comparison rather than a result created by one missing quote. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Mobile cost at every sampled volume
The DataImpulse values use the cheapest captured Mobile Intro or Mobile Standard package that covers the request. ProxyScrape uses its captured 30-day mobile ladder. DataImpulse mobile pricing retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z ProxyScrape pricing API retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
| Requested traffic | DataImpulse computed cost | ProxyScrape computed cost | Lower-cost provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | $5 | $7.50 | DataImpulse |
| 2 GB | $5 | $7.50 | DataImpulse |
| 5 GB | $50 | $14.25 | ProxyScrape |
| 10 GB | $50 | $28.50 | ProxyScrape |
| 20 GB | $50 | $53 | DataImpulse |
| 50 GB | $1,600 | $187.50 | ProxyScrape |
| 100 GB | $1,600 | $220 | ProxyScrape |
| 250 GB | $1,600 | $487.50 | ProxyScrape |
| 500 GB | $1,600 | $975 | ProxyScrape |
| 1,000 GB | $1,600 | $1,500 | ProxyScrape |
DataImpulse wins at 1 and 2 GB with a $5 checkout. At 5 GB, its next captured mobile package costs $50 while ProxyScrape costs $14.25, placing the first crossing between 2 and 5 GB. ProxyScrape remains lower at 10 GB. At 20 GB, DataImpulse still costs $50 and ProxyScrape reaches $53, so DataImpulse retakes the lead.

That lead lasts only one sampled rung. DataImpulse’s next captured covering package is a 1,000 GB product costing $1,600. ProxyScrape costs $187.50 at 50 GB, creating the 20-to-50 GB crossing, and remains lower through 1,000 GB. The very large DataImpulse bundle gap is part of the result and should not be mistaken for a smooth per-GB intersection.

ProxyScrape’s mobile pricing client reuses a residential-named pricing route but labels the result Mobile Proxies and sends a mobile selection at checkout. A later API check displays $6.80 at 2 GB, while the stored dated comparison computes $7.50 from the plan’s recorded checkout amount. DataImpulse remains cheaper at 2 GB under either figure, so the winner and all three mobile brackets are unchanged. The table preserves the dated crossing computation.

Residential cost at every sampled volume
The residential calculation uses DataImpulse Intro and Standard packages and ProxyScrape’s 30-day residential ladder. DataImpulse residential pricing retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z ProxyScrape pricing API retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z

| 5 GB | $5 | $14.25 | DataImpulse |

Residential traffic begins with DataImpulse lower through 5 GB. ProxyScrape becomes cheaper at 10 GB, where its $28.50 total is below $50, then DataImpulse moves back in front at 20 GB by $3. Those changes create the 5-to-10 and 10-to-20 GB brackets. DataImpulse residential pricing retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z ProxyScrape pricing API retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
DataImpulse remains at $50 through 50 GB. Its next captured covering package costs $800, so ProxyScrape wins at 100 and 250 GB with totals of $220 and $487.50. At 500 GB, DataImpulse’s same $800 package is lower than ProxyScrape at $975, and it stays lower at 1,000 GB. The later brackets are therefore 50 to 100 GB and 250 to 500 GB.

Expiry and rollover separate the offers
DataImpulse’s selected mobile and residential traffic is recorded as non-expiring, with unused traffic rolling over. ProxyScrape’s selected products use a 30-day traffic period and do not roll unused traffic forward. ProxyScrape publishes unrestricted concurrent sessions for both types. DataImpulse does not publish a concurrency value in the captured rows. DataImpulse mobile terms retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z ProxyScrape residential terms retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
Choose from the exact ladder rather than a provider-wide label. On mobile price, DataImpulse wins at 1, 2, and 20 GB; ProxyScrape wins at 5, 10, and every sampled point from 50 through 1,000 GB. On residential price, DataImpulse wins at 1, 2, 5, 20, 50, 500, and 1,000 GB; ProxyScrape wins at 10, 100, and 250 GB. A buyer who cannot consume traffic inside 30 days should account for that term before treating the lower checkout as the lower effective cost. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
