Thordata is a proxy provider offering residential, mobile, static ISP, and datacenter proxies for web data collection, with usage-based pricing. It helps a tech product founder or data researcher who already has scraping tools, but it is technical infrastructure most women founders do not need.
Key features
- Residential and mobile proxies: for harder-to-block sites.
- Static ISP proxies: for tasks needing a stable IP.
- Datacenter proxies: cheaper for less sensitive tasks.
- Volume pricing: per-gigabyte rates drop with use.
Pricing
Residential starts around $3.50 per GB, dropping to about $1.80 at volume. Mobile runs from about $5 down to $2.20 per GB, and datacenter about $0.40 to $0.60. There is no free trial, and premium plans require a quote.
Prices change over time. Details above are based on Thordata’s own pricing page.

Who it’s best for
Tech product founders and data researchers with scraping tools who need reliable proxies.
Skip it if you have no real data collection project or no one to run it technically. It is infrastructure, not a research tool.
How to get started
Buy the smallest package of the type that fits your task and test reliability before scaling.
