- Residential and mobile proxies: For harder-to-reach sites.
- Static ISP proxies: For tasks that need a stable IP.
- Datacenter proxies: A cheaper option for less sensitive tasks.
- Volume-based pricing: Per-gigabyte cost drops as usage grows.

Thordata vs Bright Data
Thordata focuses on proxies with volume pricing and suits people with their own scraper. Bright Data adds ready-made collectors and datasets for people who want structured data without building a tool.
Who it’s best for
Developers and data analysts who build their own scrapers and need a flexibly priced proxy network.
Skip it if you have no scraper and prefer ready data, or if you need a trial before paying.
How to get started
Start with a small volume of the right proxy type for your task, and respect site terms and the law when collecting data.
