Affordable residential and mobile proxy network with 110M+ IPs — pay-as-you-go pricing from $1.05/GB for high-volume scraping and data collection.
Thordata is a Hong Kong-based proxy provider selling rotating residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile IPs alongside a managed web unblocker and a SERP scraper API. The pitch is enterprise-grade infrastructure at half the price of Bright Data — and on small workloads, that math actually checks out.
You sign up, choose a product (residential, datacenter, ISP, mobile, unblocker or SERP API) and top up. Auth is the standard user/pass against a gateway, with country, state and city targeting on residential. Sticky sessions hold an IP for up to 30 minutes; rotation defaults to per-request.
The web unblocker is the more interesting product — you point requests at a single endpoint, Thordata picks the right proxy type, handles JavaScript rendering and CAPTCHA solving, and returns the rendered HTML. You pay per successful request, not per GB.
Residential: $3/GB pay-as-you-go, dropping to $1.80/GB at 1TB commitments. Datacenter: $0.20/GB. ISP proxies: $5/IP/month. Mobile (4G/5G): $9/GB. Unblocker: from $2.50 per 1,000 successful requests. Minimum top-up is $9.
That puts Thordata roughly between Bright Data ($8–15/GB) and DataImpulse ($1/GB). The argument for paying more than DataImpulse is the larger claimed pool and the bundled unblocker product. The argument against paying Bright Data prices is the absence of premium tooling like Web Scraper IDE.
| Provider | Residential $/GB | Pool size | Unblocker | Min spend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thordata | $3.00 | 60M+ (claimed) | Yes ($2.50/1k req) | $9 |
| Bright Data | $8.40 | 150M+ | Yes (Web Unlocker) | $500/mo |
| Oxylabs | $8.00 | 100M+ | Yes | $300/mo |
| DataImpulse | $1.00 | ~10M | No | $5 |
The honest read: Thordata sits in a crowded mid-market. It is cheaper than Bright Data and Oxylabs, more featured than DataImpulse, but the claimed pool size of 60M IPs is hard to verify independently. Run your real targets against it on a $9 top-up before committing to gigabytes.
Thordata is a credible mid-market option but not a slam dunk. Top up the $9 minimum, run your three or four hardest targets through both residential and the unblocker, and only commit to a paid term once you have measured the success rate against what your existing provider is delivering.
