DataProxyBench (v4.1.0)

Verified Primary-Source Pricing Matrix for Proxies (per GB), Scraping APIs (per Request), and LLM Inference (per 1M Tokens)

Verification Status: a row is VERIFIED for 7 UTC calendar days after its last primary-source check, then STALE. Missing or invalid dates are UNVERIFIED; CHANGED is reserved for an explicitly recorded price change awaiting recheck. This is not a performance benchmark or future-price guarantee.
Only source-backed single-rate or published volume-rate estimates are calculated. Promotion-dependent rows say so.
A request can consume multiple credits depending on the target and features. This selector does not convert requests to credits.

1. Residential Proxies (Billed by Bandwidth - GB)

Provider Type / IP Pool Published Rate / GB & Price Basis Est. Cost (50 GB) Official Terms & Billing Primary Pricing Documentation Verification Status

Listing changes (checked 2026-09-06): NetNut is not listed because its official domain displayed a seizure notice instead of pricing. ZenRows is not listed because its current official pricing page did not expose the former paid-tier figures. This bandwidth table now covers residential products only; Webshare's former datacenter entry was removed because its published datacenter plans are priced per proxy, not per GB.

2. Web Scraping APIs (Billed by Requests / Credit Pools)

Provider Cheapest Published Tier (100,000 credits) Base Monthly Cost Included Credits JS Rendering Rule Primary Pricing Documentation Verification Status

3. LLM Inference Providers (Billed per 1M Tokens)

Rows marked “GPT OSS 120B” are directly comparable by model. DeepSeek rows are provider-native models and form a separate comparison group.

Methodology & Verification Policy

DataProxyBench is an independent, primary-source comparison directory. All pricing, tier minimums, and token rates are checked directly against published vendor documentation and rate cards. Promotional coupon codes, unmetered marketing claims, and unverified third-party discounts are excluded. Rates are checked periodically and updated immediately upon published vendor revisions.

Proxy price-basis policy: where an official source explicitly labels a list price, the comparison shows that list price and places any current promotion in the terms column. Where the source does not label the basis, the row says so rather than inferring that the published rate is a list price. Volume and term discounts are not used as the main comparison rate unless their basis is explicitly shown.

Estimator policy: The calculator reports only published billing rules for the entered unit. Subscription APIs use an adequate published credit tier; pay-as-you-go providers use their published volume rate instead. For DataImpulse, the published 1TB threshold is calculated as 1,000 GB; 5TB and above is shown as unavailable because Custom+ pricing is not a published per-GB rule. For a provider with one published per-GB rate and no published quantity ceiling, the calculator applies that published rate arithmetically at any non-negative entered quantity; this is not a claim that the provider supports, will quote, or will honor that volume. It does not model vendor-specific request-to-credit multipliers, account discounts, taxes, geography, or unlisted enterprise terms. An unavailable estimate is not a zero-cost estimate; use the linked pricing page.

Maintainer: Maintained independently by DataProxyBench Research Lab. This directory does not currently operate a public feedback channel or issue tracker. Verify individual vendor claims through the linked primary documentation.
