Quick Answer
Should you choose Proxidize or DataImpulse?
The short version, before the full breakdown below.
Proxidize and DataImpulse both start at $2/GB mobile and $1/GB residential for standard, country-level targeting — but that headline rate isn't the whole picture. DataImpulse bills state, city, ZIP, and ASN selection at twice its standard rate; Proxidize includes city and ASN targeting in its mobile plans at no extra charge. Choose Proxidize if you need that targeting, a flat rate that doesn't change with volume, or sticky mobile sessions that hold for days. Choose DataImpulse if you're consistently over 1,000 GB/month on standard targeting (its rate drops to $1.60/GB mobile and $0.80/GB residential), want bandwidth that never expires, or want to avoid a KYC requirement.
Key Takeaways
What to remember comparing Proxidize and DataImpulse
- Proxidize and DataImpulse both start at $2/GB mobile and $1/GB residential for standard, country-level targeting. This isn't a cheaper-price pitch — the difference is in volume pricing, targeting costs, and features.
- DataImpulse gets cheaper past 1,000 GB/month, on standard targeting. Its rate drops to $1.60/GB mobile and $0.80/GB residential above that threshold — but advanced targeting still doubles whichever rate applies, which narrows or erases that discount.
- DataImpulse bills advanced targeting at 2x the standard rate. Selecting a specific state, city, ZIP code, or ASN doubles the per-GB cost, per DataImpulse's published targeting docs; Proxidize includes city and ASN targeting in its $2/GB mobile rate at no extra charge.
- Proxidize holds sticky mobile sessions far longer. Up to 3 days per access point versus DataImpulse's 120-minute cap.
- DataImpulse doesn't publish a KYC requirement. Proxidize requires it after purchase, before you can use the proxies.
- DataImpulse covers more proxy types under one account. Residential, premium residential, mobile, and datacenter; Proxidize is mobile and residential only.
Quick Verdict

Neither provider wins on price alone here, so the real decision comes down to volume, targeting, and how much control you need.
Choose Proxidize if you need

- Traffic that never expires on both mobile and residential, with no monthly reset

Worked Example
100 GB/month of mobile traffic, at the standard rate
A fixed volume makes the targeting cost concrete instead of abstract. Both providers charge $2/GB standard below 1,000 GB/month — the difference shows up only once targeting gets specific.
| Targeting | Proxidize | DataImpulse |
|---|---|---|
| Country only | $200 | $200 |
| City or ASN selection on all traffic | $200 | $400 |
Calculated examples using each provider’s published standard rates for 100 GB of mobile traffic, excluding discounts or custom agreements. City or ASN selection is billed at double DataImpulse’s standard rate; Proxidize includes it in the $2/GB rate shown for both rows. Proxidize bills this volume as a monthly plan; DataImpulse bills it as non-expiring pay-as-you-go traffic — confirm both providers cover the locations you need before comparing further.

Use Case Fit
Which provider fits your job?
Comparing vendors in the abstract is pointless. The right answer depends on what you're actually doing, so here's our honest read, use case by use case.
Predictable monthly mobile spend under 1,000 GB
Either worksBoth charge the same $2/GB standard rate below 1,000 GB, so cost is identical at typical volumes with country-level targeting. That parity ends the moment either side needs a specific state, city, ZIP, or ASN — DataImpulse doubles its rate for that, Proxidize doesn't.
Mobile or residential usage consistently over 1,000 GB/month
Better fit: DataImpulseDataImpulse's rate drops to $1.60/GB mobile and $0.80/GB residential past 1,000 GB, undercutting Proxidize's flat and lightly-tiered rates at that scale — but only on standard targeting. Selecting a state, city, ZIP, or ASN still bills at double that rate, which narrows or erases the volume discount.
Account workflows needing a long-held stable mobile exit
Better fit: ProxidizeProxidize sticky sessions hold for up to 3 days per access point, versus DataImpulse's 120-minute session cap.
Granular mobile targeting without a per-GB surcharge
Better fit: ProxidizeCity and ASN targeting are included in Proxidize's $2/GB rate at no extra charge. DataImpulse bills the same targeting at double its standard rate, per its published targeting docs.
One account for mobile, residential, and datacenter proxies
Better fit: DataImpulseDataImpulse also sells datacenter and premium residential proxies; Proxidize is currently mobile and residential only.
Verification-sensitive or compliance-first buyers
Better fit: ProxidizeProxidize requires KYC verification from every customer. Buyers who need that compliance posture, or who are simply reassured by it, are better served here.
Avoiding identity verification altogether
Better fit: DataImpulseDataImpulse doesn't publish a KYC requirement at any stage. Proxidize requires it after purchase, before you can use the proxies.
