DataImpulse Alternative: Proxidize vs DataImpulse

Not below 1,000 GB/month — both charge a flat $2/GB for mobile and $1/GB for residential at that volume, so the cost is a tie. Past 1,000 GB/month, DataImpulse's published rate drops to $1.60/GB mobile and $0.80/GB residential, while Proxidize stays flat (mobile) or drops more gradually (residential), so DataImpulse becomes the cheaper option at high volume. Pricing changes, so verify both providers' live pricing pages before buying.

Yes. DataImpulse lists mobile proxies as a product with 16M+ mobile IPs across 195 countries on 3G/4G/5G/LTE networks, pay-as-you-go pricing starting at $2/GB, sticky sessions up to 120 minutes, and HTTP(S)/SOCKS5 protocols.

Yes. Proxidize mobile proxies run on premium mobile IPs across multiple countries (US, Canada, UK, Germany, India), with city and ASN targeting included, sticky sessions that hold for up to 3 days, and a flat $2/GB rate at every volume.

Because the rate is only half the picture. DataImpulse's $2/GB and $1/GB rates cover country-level targeting only — city, ZIP, and ASN targeting add an unpublished surcharge on top, so your effective rate rises above the headline number the moment you need granular targeting. DataImpulse also caps sticky sessions at 120 minutes and requires a $5 minimum purchase to start. Proxidize includes city and ASN targeting in its $2/GB mobile rate with no surcharge, holds sticky sessions for up to 3 days, and offers free sign-up with no minimum purchase.

Yes. DataImpulse's $2/GB mobile rate and $1/GB residential rate only cover country-level targeting. Their pricing page marks city, ZIP, and ASN targeting with an "extra costs" notice, but doesn't publish the actual surcharge — no flat fee, percentage, or revised per-GB rate is shown. So the moment you turn on city or ASN targeting, your real per-GB rate goes above $2 (mobile) or $1 (residential), and you won't know by how much until you ask DataImpulse's sales team for a quote. Proxidize includes city and ASN targeting in its standard $2/GB mobile rate, so the price you see is the price you pay regardless of targeting granularity.

Proxidize. Proxidize mobile sticky sessions can hold the same IP for up to 3 days per access point. DataImpulse's published sticky session cap is 120 minutes, after which the session rotates.

DataImpulse doesn't publish a KYC (Know Your Customer) requirement on its public pages. Proxidize requires KYC verification from every customer, for every use case, to maintain compliance and prevent misuse of the network — but not as a signup gate. Sign-up and purchase are free and instant; verification happens after purchase, before you can use the proxies. See Proxidize's Acceptable Use Policy for details.Read Proxidize's Acceptable Use Policy→

DataImpulse requires a $5 minimum purchase to start (roughly 2.5 GB of mobile or 5 GB of residential at their entry rate), billed pay-as-you-go with no monthly subscription. Proxidize sign-up is free with no credit card required, and monthly plans start at 25 GB.

Both start at a flat $1/GB with traffic that doesn't get wasted — DataImpulse's pay-as-you-go traffic never expires, and Proxidize rolls over unused bandwidth instead of letting it expire. DataImpulse's larger published pool (90M+ IPs) and rate drop to $0.80/GB past 1,000 GB/month favor high-volume buyers; Proxidize's flatter pricing and city/ISP targeting favor buyers who want predictable billing.

Billing model and control, not price. DataImpulse is pay-as-you-go with a rate that drops at high volume, no published KYC step, and an unpublished surcharge the moment you turn on city, ZIP, or ASN targeting. Proxidize bills flat monthly plans, requires KYC verification after purchase (before you can use the proxies, not before you can sign up or buy), includes city and ASN targeting in its $2/GB mobile rate with no surcharge, and holds sticky mobile sessions for up to 3 days instead of 120 minutes.

Not with either provider for standard plans. Proxidize plans are self-serve with credentials ready in under a minute and no credit card required. DataImpulse is also self-serve, but requires a $5 minimum purchase before you can start using its network.

Both providers require responsible use. Proxidize is built for legitimate public-web-data collection and requires KYC verification from every customer — see Proxidize's Acceptable Use Policy for details. DataImpulse publishes its own acceptable use terms and states it blocks access to banking and government resources; see their policy for specifics.Read Proxidize's Acceptable Use Policy→
