HProxy vs DataImpulse.com: Residential Prices With and Without City Targeting (2026)

Compared against DataImpulse

For residential traffic, HProxy costs less per GB than DataImpulse in both of the ways people buy it. With country targeting, it is DataImpulse's $1 against our Residential Lite. With city, state or network targeting, DataImpulse bills double, and it is their $2 against our Residential Premium. DataImpulse still wins on a $5 first purchase, cheap datacenter traffic and a few ways to pay. We read DataImpulse's prices, docs and terms on October 22, 2026, and this page reports what they said. We sell residential proxies, so weigh our view with that in mind.

DataImpulse.com vs HProxy at a glance

The two sell residential traffic the same way: pay per GB, no subscription, and GB that never expire. So the comparison comes down to price, targeting and terms.

DataImpulse's figures come from its residential page, its docs and its terms, read through our server on October 22, 2026. Ours come from our catalog, our dashboard's product sheet and our public refund and identity check pages.

What a GB of residential traffic costs

DataImpulse sells residential traffic at $1 per GB from its $5 Intro plan to its $50 Basic plan, and at $0.80 per GB in its $800 plan for 1 TB. Above 5 TB the rate is custom. That price includes country targeting. Its docs add one rule that changes many jobs: traffic through its state, city, ZIP code and ASN filters "is billed at double the standard rate".

Two comparisons sit inside that chart:

• Country targeting only. DataImpulse's $1 and $0.80 against our Lite at $0.50/GB and $0.44/GB. Lite is our budget pool: country targeting, HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.
• City, state or network targeting. DataImpulse's filtered rate, $2 and $1.60, against our Premium at $1.49/GB and $1.00/GB, targeting included. DataImpulse also sells a premium residential plan with every filter included, at $5 per GB.

At 50 GB the gap is plain. DataImpulse's Basic plan is $50 with country targeting, and twice that through its filters. Our Lite comes to $25 for the same 50 GB.

The smallest purchase, and the refund

DataImpulse's lowest entry is generous. Its Intro plan, 5 GB for $5, is one of the cheapest first purchases on the market. Two rules come with it:

• It is one-time. Its payment docs say the Intro plan costs $5 and "the minimum top-up for plans is $50" after that.
• It is the only refundable plan. Its terms give a 7-day refund "applicable only to the first-time purchase of the 'Intro' plan", and none for crypto: "Cryptocurrency payments are final and non-refundable, regardless of circumstances."

At HProxy, every top-up can be small: $3 by crypto, $10 by card, Alipay, Pix or QRIS. Any balance you have not spent can be refunded for 14 days, to the card or crypto it came from, as our refund policy sets out. Spent GB stay spent.

UDP, sessions and ID checks

• UDP. DataImpulse supports UDP but keeps it off by default. To turn it on, you send a use case and company details and complete KYC, and each request is reviewed. Our Residential Premium turns UDP over SOCKS5 on for each proxy line you generate.
• Sticky sessions. DataImpulse sets the rotation interval in minutes with a sessttl parameter. On HProxy Premium you pick a sticky time between 3 minutes and 24 hours.
• ID checks. DataImpulse's terms keep the right to ask for ID "where the use of our services is ambiguous". Our sign-up and an ordinary purchase need no papers. Card payments go through a fraud screen, and the identity checks page explains when we ask for ID.

Where DataImpulse is the better pick

• The cheapest first try. 5 GB of residential traffic for $5 is hard to beat as a first purchase.
• Cheap datacenter traffic. $0.50 per GB, and $0.45 at 1 TB. If plain datacenter addresses do the job, that is cheap volume. Our guide to datacenter vs residential proxies covers when they do.
• More ways to pay. Apple Pay, Google Pay, UPI and wire transfers, on top of what we take.
• Country-only work at very large volume. Above 5 TB, DataImpulse quotes custom rates we cannot compare.

Where HProxy is the better pick

• Residential price per GB, country to country and city to city, at both sizes above.
• Targeting without a double rate. Premium's state, city and network targeting is part of its price.
• Small top-ups every time. $3 by crypto and $10 by card, with no $50 floor after the first order.
• A wider refund. 14 days on unused balance, crypto included.
• UDP without an application. Premium turns it on per line.
• One top-up for all four proxy types: residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile. Our guide to what a residential proxy is explains the residential part.

Who should pick which

Pick DataImpulse for a $5 first try, for datacenter traffic at $0.50 per GB, or if you need to pay by Apple Pay, Google Pay or UPI.

Pick HProxy for residential traffic at a lower price per GB on the same no-expiry model. Take Lite for country-level work. Take Premium when the job needs a state, a city or a network, or UDP.

Both publish their prices and terms, and our frequently asked questions cover the rest of our side.

Limits of this comparison

• No proxy tests. This comparison reads prices and terms only. We ran no traffic through DataImpulse or through HProxy, so it says nothing on speed, success rates or blocks.
• Pool sizes. DataImpulse's pool figures are its own claims. We make none about ours.
• The targeting rule. It comes from a docs page marked "Last updated 1 year ago". The residential page we read the same day lists the filters as new, without a price.
• Custom tiers. DataImpulse does not publish its rates above 5 TB.
• One day. Both sides can change prices and terms at any time, so check again after December 22, 2026.
