The cheapest replacement for ThorData on rotating residential traffic is Evomi: $0.99/GB at the entry tier and $0.49/GB once you pass 100-150 GB. DataImpulse sits right next to it with $0.80/GB on 1000 GB, and everyone else in this list is above $1.45/GB at that volume. Prices verified in September 2026. We look at ten alternatives through rotating residential and rotating mobile proxies, because those are the two products people actually buy from ThorData, and we add ISP pricing separately for anyone who came for accounts rather than scraping.
Why people look for a ThorData alternative
The complaints are almost always about money per gigabyte at mid volumes, not about the product existing. A traffic based provider is judged by one number: what a gigabyte costs at the volume you really consume, and how fast that number drops as you commit more. When the discount ladder moves in small steps, a scraping project that burns 100 GB a month pays close to the entry price forever, and that is exactly where a cheaper pool wins the budget.
The second reason is product coverage. Rotating traffic does not solve account work: for a social profile, a marketplace seller account or an anti-detect browser profile you need one trusted address that stays yours for a month, which means an ISP proxy priced per IP, not per gigabyte. And for the most aggressive targets you need mobile addresses behind carrier CGNAT, where banning the IP hurts the site more than it hurts you.
So the replacement is picked per product, not per brand. Large scale collection wants the lowest price per GB on rotating residential proxies, account work wants ISP, hostile anti-bot wants mobile, and undefended targets want datacenter traffic at a fraction of residential cost. All ten providers below are sorted into those slots.
All ten alternatives at a glance
| Provider | Rotating residential, from | Other products | What it fixes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NodeMaven | $3.06/GB pay as you go | Rotating mobile, ISP | Filtered pool plus flat priced ISP for account work |
| Relayox | $4.00/GB at 5-8 GB | Rotating mobile | Flat rate that bottoms out early, crypto only, 168 h refund |
| Proxy Seller | $3.50/GB pay as you go | ISP, datacenter, dedicated and shared mobile, IPv6 | One vendor for every proxy type, widest country list |
| Proxyscrape | $4.85/GB at 5-8 GB | Rotating mobile, shared and dedicated datacenter, unlimited residential | Steep volume discount plus very cheap shared datacenter IPs |
| Evomi | $0.99/GB | Rotating mobile, ISP, datacenter traffic | Lowest cost per gigabyte in the list |
| ProxyEmpire | $3.50/GB at 1 GB | Rotating mobile, rotating datacenter, static residential, dedicated mobile | Rotating datacenter traffic from $0.625/GB, a product most rivals skip |
| DataImpulse | $0.80/GB pay as you go | Rotating mobile, rotating datacenter | Second cheapest gigabyte and mobile at $2.00/GB |
| 2extract | $3.99/GB | Rotating mobile | Same price at any volume, simple for small one off buys |
| Webshare | $7.00/GB at 1 GB | ISP, static residential, shared and dedicated datacenter | Cheap static and datacenter IPs per month |
| BrightData | $8.00/GB pay as you go | Rotating mobile, ISP, datacenter, shared datacenter | 150M+ pool and the full product range for hostile targets |
On price per gigabyte the field splits cleanly: Evomi and DataImpulse take the bottom, Proxy Seller and ProxyEmpire the middle, and NodeMaven, Webshare and BrightData sell on pool quality and product depth rather than on the price line.
Price per gigabyte across the field
The chart below puts every provider on the same three volumes, which is the only fair way to read traffic pricing, since the entry tier tells you almost nothing about what a real project pays.
The gap widens with volume rather than closing: at 1000 GB the cheapest and the most expensive offers are separated by a factor that decides your monthly invoice, not your first test. A 100 GB month costs $49 at Evomi against $700 at BrightData, and that difference is the whole argument of this article. Whether the expensive side is worth it depends on one thing only: how many of those requests come back with data instead of a block page.
Country coverage
Country count is the most quoted and least useful number in proxy marketing, and the chart shows why: nine of ten providers here are effectively identical, so choosing by geography only matters at one end of the list.
Evomi is the exception, and its narrow country list is the price of its cheap gigabyte. If your targets sit in Latin America, Africa or Southeast Asia, the cheap tariff will not help you, because the country you need is simply not in the pool. Proxy Seller has the longest list, which matters for ad verification and localized SERP checks more than for anything else.
Rotation Residential Proxies, $/GB
| Provider | 40-60 GB | 100-150 GB | 1000 GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| NodeMaven | $3.98 | $3.75 | $2.75 |
| Relayox | $3.30 | $3.00 | $2.75 |
| Proxy Seller | $2.30 | $2.20 | $1.45 |
| Proxyscrape | $4.25 | $3.50 | $2.00 |
| Evomi | $0.99 | $0.49 | $0.49 |
| ProxyEmpire | $2.50 | $2.22 | $1.50 |
| DataImpulse | $1.00 | $1.00 | $0.80 |
| 2extract | $3.99 | $3.99 | $3.99 |
| Webshare | $4.90 | $4.50 | $3.00 |
| BrightData | - | $7.00 | $5.00 |
Evomi leads at every step and stops discounting after 100-150 GB, so committing beyond that buys nothing extra. DataImpulse is almost flat, which makes it predictable but means there is no reward for scale. Proxy Seller and ProxyEmpire are the pair to compare if you want a mid market pool: they are within a few cents of each other until 1000 GB.
Rotation Mobile Proxies, $/GB
| Provider | 40-60 GB | 100-150 GB | 1000 GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| NodeMaven | $3.98 | $3.75 | $2.75 |
| Relayox | $3.30 | $3.00 | $2.75 |
| Proxyscrape | $4.25 | $3.50 | $2.00 |
| Evomi | $3.40 | $3.20 | $2.60 |
| ProxyEmpire | $3.34 | $2.96 | $2.00 |
| DataImpulse | $2.00 | $2.00 | $1.60 |
| 2extract | $4.99 | $4.99 | - |
| BrightData | - | $7.00 | $5.00 |
Mobile costs more than residential for a structural reason: hundreds of real subscribers share one carrier address, so blocking it is expensive for the site and it tends to tolerate you instead. Pay that premium only for targets that already kill your residential sessions. Note how Evomi inverts here: its residential gigabyte is the cheapest in the table above, but its mobile gigabyte is ordinary, so cheap residential does not imply cheap rotating mobile.
ISP and static residential, $ per IP per month
| Provider | 1 IP | 10 IPs | 100 IPs |
|---|---|---|---|
| NodeMaven | $4.99 | $4.99 | $4.99 |
| Proxy Seller | $3.00 | $2.91 | $2.55 |
| Evomi | - | $1.00 | $1.00 |
| Webshare | - | - | $1.79 |
| BrightData | $4.00 | $3.50 | $2.75 |
ProxyEmpire is missing from this table on purpose: its static residential product is billed per gigabyte, from $2.86/GB, so it belongs to the traffic tables rather than to a per IP comparison. For everyone else, this is the product to buy when one address has to stay yours: profiles, marketplace accounts, anything logged in. Do not compare these numbers with $/GB figures above; one buys a month of a fixed identity, the other buys bandwidth through a pool that changes under you.
The ten alternatives one by one
1. NodeMaven
Official website: https://nodemaven.com/
NodeMaven sells quality control rather than a low price: addresses are checked before they are handed to you, and the entry point is $3.06/GB pay as you go, dropping to $2.75/GB at 1000 GB. For pure volume that is the wrong end of the market, and Evomi or DataImpulse will do the same job for a fraction of the bill. For targets where a dead IP costs you a retry, a captcha and sometimes a burned session, the filtering is what you are paying for.
The ISP line is the more interesting part: $4.99 per IP per month at any quantity, from a single address up to 400-500. Nothing gets cheaper in bulk, but nothing gets complicated either, and for a team running a few dozen logged-in profiles the flat price makes budgeting trivial. Promo code CAPYRATE35 takes 35% off the first order. There is no money back window, so start with the $3.50 trial rather than a large deposit.

2. Relayox
Official website: https://relayox.com/
Relayox charges the same for residential and mobile traffic, which is unusual and quietly generous: $4.00/GB at 5-8 GB falling to $2.75/GB, and the floor is reached at 200 GB, after which volume commitments stop paying. If your monthly consumption sits in the 200-350 GB band, you get the vendor's best rate without signing up for terabytes, and that is a better deal than a steep ladder you never climb.
Two practical constraints. Payment is crypto only, so accounting departments and card-only buyers are out. In exchange there is a 168 hour money back window and a $1 trial for 200 MB, which is enough to test your targets before committing. The provider launched in 2026 and runs a 20M+ pool, so treat it as a strong mobile-and-residential option rather than a vendor for your entire infrastructure.

3. Proxy Seller
Official website: https://proxy-seller.com/
Proxy Seller is the only provider here that covers every product a ThorData user might be replacing at once: rotating residential from $3.50/GB down to $1.45/GB at 1000 GB, ISP from $3.00 per IP, dedicated datacenter proxies from $1.64 per IP, IPv6 at $0.16 per IP and both shared and dedicated mobile. Rotating residential reaches 220 countries, the widest list in this comparison, which matters if you verify ads or SERPs in markets nobody else covers.
Working since 2014 with a 47M+ pool, it is the safe consolidation choice: one dashboard, one invoice, four payment methods. The one thing to plan around is the refund window of 24 hours, and there is no free trial, so buy the smallest tier first and test the exact country and ASN you need inside that day. Promo code QALCDK_843602 gives 10% off the order.

4. Proxyscrape
Official website: https://proxyscrape.com/
Proxyscrape has the steepest discount curve in the list: $4.85/GB at 5-8 GB is a poor entry price, but it falls to $2.00/GB at 1000 GB and $1.50/GB at 5000 GB. Small buyers should look elsewhere; a scraping operation with a terabyte a month gets a 195 country pool of 120M+ addresses at a rate the mid market providers only match with bulk commitments of their own.
The second reason to keep it in mind is the shared datacenter product at $0.025 per IP at 1000-1500 addresses. That is the right tool for targets that do not fight back: internal checks, price monitoring on loyal sites, bulk collection where an occasional block costs nothing. Sending residential traffic at such targets is money set on fire, and this is the cheapest way in the list to stop doing it. Mobile coverage, on the other hand, is limited to three countries.

- High-quality proxies

- Many payment methods available
- There is a plan with unlimited traffic for residential proxies
- Data center proxies can be purchased starting from 1,000 units (cannot be purchased individually)
5. Evomi
Official website: https://evomi.com/
Evomi is the answer for anyone leaving ThorData purely over cost: $0.99/GB at entry, $0.49/GB from 100-150 GB and no further discount after that, which means a 100 GB month costs $49 and a 1000 GB month scales linearly from the same rate. ISP addresses are $1.00 per IP per month from 5 IPs, the cheapest static offer here, and datacenter traffic goes down to $0.30/GB at 1000 GB.
We measured it ourselves on 3 August 2026: 100% of requests succeeded, with a median response of 635 ms and a 90th percentile of 698 ms. That is a small sample from a single endpoint, but it is consistent, and it argues against the assumption that the cheapest gigabyte must be the flakiest one.
The cost is geography. Rotating residential covers 48 countries and ISP only two, Germany and the United States. If your task list includes anything outside the developed West, budget for a second vendor. Refunds run 168 hours, there is a free trial, and promo code CAPROXY5 takes 5% off all plans except Core Residential.

6. ProxyEmpire
Official website: https://proxyempire.io/
ProxyEmpire's distinctive product is rotating datacenter traffic: $0.625/GB at 40-60 GB down to $0.35/GB at 5000 GB. Most providers sell datacenter capacity per IP per month, which forces you to plan concurrency in advance; buying it per gigabyte fits bursty jobs where you scrape hard for two days and then stop. Rotating residential is competitive in the middle of the field, from $3.50/GB down to $1.50/GB at 1000 GB, and mobile reaches $2.00/GB at the same volume.
Two things to know before you pay. The static residential product is sold by traffic rather than per IP, so it is not a substitute for a real ISP address held for a month. And the prices published on the site already assume the promo code EMPIRE50: enter it at checkout or you will see a different total. The pool is the smallest here at 9.5M+ addresses, which is a real constraint on high concurrency jobs, and there is no money back window, so use the $1.97 trial.

Pros & Cons

7. DataImpulse
Official website: https://dataimpulse.com/
DataImpulse is the second cheapest gigabyte in the list and by far the most predictable: $1.00/GB from 5 GB all the way to 700-850 GB, then $0.80/GB from 1000 GB. There is effectively no ladder to climb, which means a 30 GB month and a 300 GB month cost the same per unit. Mobile at $2.00/GB undercuts what several providers here charge for residential, and rotating datacenter traffic starts at $0.45/GB.
The 195 country list and the 90M+ pool make it a credible volume vendor, and the 168 hour refund window is generous for a traffic product. The honest caveat is the one that applies to every cheap pool: a low price per gigabyte only converts into a low price per successful request on targets that are not actively hunting you. Run your hardest target first, and if the block rate climbs, the retries will eat the saving and you belong in the mid or upper tier instead.

8. 2extract
Official website: https://2extract.com/
2extract charges $3.99/GB for rotating residential and $4.99/GB for mobile, and those numbers do not move: the same rate applies at 2 GB and at 1000 GB. That is a genuinely good structure for a small buyer who needs 5 GB once and does not want to compare ladders, and the worst structure in this entire comparison for anyone at scale, because at 1000 GB it is more expensive than every provider here except BrightData.
Founded in 2025 with a 10M+ pool across 195+ countries, it is a young vendor with no refund window and no trial, so the first purchase should be small. Promo code CAPROXY gives 15% off the first order, which makes that first small purchase the cheapest way to see whether the pool suits your targets.

9. Webshare
Official website: https://webshare.io/
Webshare has the most expensive rotating residential traffic in the list after BrightData, from $7.00/GB at 1 GB down to $3.00/GB at 1000 GB, and there is no scenario in which you should buy it for volume scraping when Proxy Seller sits at $1.45/GB at the same step. Its value is on the per IP side: ISP addresses at $1.79 per IP at 100, dedicated datacenter at $1.19 per IP at 100 and shared datacenter at $0.0299 per IP.
Read it as a static IP vendor with a residential product attached. If you need a hundred dedicated datacenter addresses for concurrency, or a bank of stable ISP IPs across 11 countries for account work, this is one of the cheapest ways in the list to get them, with a 48 hour refund window and a free trial to confirm the subnets work on your targets.

10. BrightData
Official website: https://brightdata.com/
BrightData is the most expensive gigabyte here, $8.00/GB pay as you go and $5.00/GB at 1000 GB, and it has no money back window at all. It also has the largest pool at 150M+ addresses, 195 countries on residential and mobile, 181 on datacenter, city level targeting and the complete product range including ISP from $4.00 per IP.
You buy it when the cost of a failed request outweighs the cost of a gigabyte: hostile anti-bot on targets that matter commercially, tasks where a partially collected dataset is worthless, geographies that need city granularity. On a 100 GB month the difference against the cheap end of this list is hundreds of dollars, so the decision is simple in principle: if a cheap pool gets through, that money is wasted, and if it does not, BrightData is cheaper per usable row. There is a free trial, and given the refund policy you should use it seriously before funding an account.

What to pick for your task
| Task | Proxy type | Provider | Price reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Large scale data collection | Rotating residential | Evomi, DataImpulse | $0.49/GB and $0.80/GB at 1000 GB |
| Bulk collection from undefended sites | Datacenter | Proxyscrape, ProxyEmpire | $0.025 per IP, or $0.35/GB of rotating traffic |
| Accounts and social profiles | ISP | Evomi, NodeMaven | $1.00 and $4.99 per IP per month |
| Sneaker and ticket drops | ISP with wide geography | Proxy Seller | From $3.00 per IP, 24 countries |
| Ad verification and geo checks | Rotating residential, broad country list | Proxy Seller, BrightData | $2.20/GB and $7.00/GB at 100-150 GB |
| Hostile anti-bot | Rotating mobile | DataImpulse, Relayox | $2.00/GB and $3.00/GB at 100-150 GB |
| Small one off volume | Rotating residential | 2extract, Relayox | $3.99/GB flat, $4.00/GB at 5-8 GB |
Match the product to how hard the target fights, then argue about price. Buying residential traffic for a job that plain datacenter addresses would finish is the most common way to overpay by a factor of five, and buying the cheapest pool for a target that blocks it is the second: the retries cost more than the discount saved. If you are unsure which side your targets fall on, spend a few dollars on a trial at one cheap and one premium vendor and count successful responses, not gigabytes.
FAQ
- Which ThorData alternative has the cheapest price per gigabyte?
- Evomi, at $0.99/GB on entry volumes and $0.49/GB from 100-150 GB upward. DataImpulse is next with $1.00/GB up to 850 GB and $0.80/GB from 1000 GB.
- What should I use instead of ThorData for accounts and social media?
- An ISP proxy, not rotating traffic. Evomi charges $1.00 per IP per month from 5 addresses but covers only Germany and the United States; NodeMaven is $4.99 per IP at any quantity across 6 countries; Proxy Seller starts at $3.00 per IP with 24 countries.
- Which of these providers offer a money back window?
- Evomi, DataImpulse and Relayox give 168 hours, Proxyscrape 72 hours, Webshare 48 hours and Proxy Seller 24 hours. NodeMaven, ProxyEmpire, 2extract and BrightData have none.
- Is there a trial before paying full price?
- Yes at Evomi, Proxyscrape, Webshare and BrightData. Relayox sells $1 for 200 MB, NodeMaven a $3.50 trial and ProxyEmpire a $1.97 trial. DataImpulse and 2extract have no trial.
- How do rotating residential and ISP proxies differ, and when is the extra cost justified?
- Rotating residential addresses change and are billed per gigabyte, which suits collection and geo checks. ISP addresses are static, billed per IP per month, and are what account work needs. Paying $1.79 to $4.99 per IP is justified when the session must stay on one trusted address for weeks.
- Which promo codes are active and what do they apply to?
- CAPYRATE35 gives 35% off the first NodeMaven order, QALCDK_843602 gives 10% off at Proxy Seller, CAPROXY5 gives 5% off all Evomi plans except Core Residential, CAPROXY gives 15% off a first 2extract order, and EMPIRE50 is required at ProxyEmpire checkout to get the prices shown on their site.
- Should I buy mobile proxies instead of residential ones?
- Only for targets that already block your residential sessions. Mobile costs more at every volume, for example $2.00/GB against $1.00/GB at DataImpulse on 100-150 GB, and the advantage is that carrier addresses are shared by many real subscribers, which makes sites reluctant to ban them.
- Who is best for collection at 1000 GB a month and above?
- Evomi at $0.49/GB and DataImpulse at $0.80/GB on price, Proxy Seller at $1.45/GB if you also need a wide country list, and Proxyscrape at $2.00/GB falling to $1.50/GB at 5000 GB if your volume keeps growing.
