Loopway and DataImpulse, compared on what you actually pay and what you actually get — with the rows where DataImpulse wins left in.
Prices and policies checkedDataImpulse is one of the cheapest ways to buy a few gigabytes of residential traffic: $1/GB from a $5 top-up that never expires. Loopway costs a little more at that size ($1.10/GB at 10 GB) but is cheaper from about 42 GB up, includes city targeting at no extra cost, has a free trial, and sells the static ISP, IPv6 and unlimited proxies DataImpulse doesn't.
Counted from the comparison table below. Rows where the two can't be ranked (different billing models, a product only one of them sells) are shown but not counted. See every row
Prices at the same volume, then the policies that decide whether a cheap gigabyte stays cheap. A tick marks the better side of each row.

Each figure is the cheapest way to buy that much from the provider's own published price list: when a plan's minimum is larger than what you need, you pay for the whole plan, and a bigger plan wins whenever its lower rate makes up for it. Taxes excluded. The lowest cost in each row is blue.

FAQ

It depends on volume. At 10 GB DataImpulse is cheaper ($1.00/GB against our $1.10/GB). Our rate falls as you buy more and becomes the cheaper of the two from about 42 GB; by 1 TB we're at $0.57/GB against DataImpulse's $0.80/GB. If you need city targeting, DataImpulse adds a fee on standard residential that it doesn't publish; ours is included.
No. As of October 2026 new users start with a paid $5 Intro plan (5 GB of residential traffic). Loopway gives free residential traffic with no card required.
No — DataImpulse says purchased traffic never expires. Loopway balances don't expire either, so neither provider makes you use it or lose it.
Only on a first-time Intro plan purchase, within 7 days, and not for crypto payments, according to its terms of service.
Not on its own site: its product range is residential, premium residential, datacenter and mobile. Loopway sells static ISP, IPv6 residential and IPv6 datacenter proxies alongside residential and mobile.
Create an account, claim the free trial and swap the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string the same way, so most scrapers and bots need no code changes.
