[Start free, no card](https://app.quanticdata.io/register?utm_source=alternatives&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=alternatives&utm_content=nodemaven-prices) $2 of free API usage per month, then from $0.80/GB.

## Why teams switch to QuanticData

- **No monthly plan behind the low rate.** NodeMaven's $2.20/GB belongs to its 1,000 GB monthly plan. QuanticData Residential Basic reaches $0.80/GB with a single 1 TB purchase and has no plan fee.
- **A fifth of the entry price.** NodeMaven pay as you go starts at $5.00/GB for 2 GB. QuanticData residential is $1.00/GB on the smaller Basic bundles, rotating or sticky, over HTTP or SOCKS5.
- **Targeting included.** Country, state, city and ISP/network targeting (by ASN) on the Basic line, with Premium from $2.20/GB for its own location catalog and pool-quality filters.
- **Data, not only bandwidth.** The same account runs the web scraping API from $0.0015 per page, the SERP API from $0.0009 per search, and 100+ collectors. Failed requests are never billed.

## Switch in one connection string

```bash
curl -x "http://USER-country-us:PASS@PROXY_HOST:PORT" https://api.ipify.org
```

Generate the username and password in the dashboard, pick the country (and optionally state, city or ISP), and use the same string in Python, Node, Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer or any antidetect browser. Full setup on the [residential proxies page](https://quanticdata.io/residential-proxies/).

## Test it on your own targets

1. Create a free account: $2 of free API usage per month and a 100 MB residential trial, no card.
2. Point 100 of your real URLs at the new connection string.
3. Count the pages you can use and divide by what you spent. That is the number to compare.

## Questions about switching from NodeMaven

### Is QuanticData cheaper than NodeMaven?

On residential bandwidth, yes. NodeMaven's lowest rate is $2.20/GB on its 1,000 GB monthly plan, 100 GB costs $300 a month and pay as you go starts at $5.00/GB (pricing page, 28 October 2026). QuanticData charges $100 for 100 GB and $800 for 1 TB with no monthly plan, 64% below NodeMaven's lowest rate.

### Does NodeMaven have a free trial?

No free trial: the NodeMaven trial is paid, $3.50 for 750 MB, and its smallest monthly plan is 2 GB for $8.50. QuanticData gives a free 100 MB residential trial and $2 of free API usage per month with no card, so you can test your own targets before you buy anything.

### Is there a free NodeMaven alternative?

Every QuanticData account gets $2 of free API usage per month with no card, plus a free 100 MB residential proxy trial. That is enough to run your own targets through the new connection string and compare usable pages per dollar before you buy a residential bundle, which starts at $5 for 5 GB.

### What do reviewers say about NodeMaven?

Proxyway's review, updated in October 2026, puts price first among NodeMaven's drawbacks and found its residential pool about average in size. Trust My IP's October 2026 review also names price as the main weakness and reports some residential ranges on Spamhaus blocklists.

### Does QuanticData have the same proxy types as NodeMaven?

Yes, and more on one account: residential Basic from $0.80/GB and Premium from $2.20/GB, mobile 4G/5G from $2.30/GB in 199 listed countries and territories, datacenter from $0.50/GB, static ISP from $2.50/IP a month and IPv6 from $0.083/GB, all over HTTP and SOCKS5.

### How do I switch from NodeMaven?

Create a free account, generate a residential username with the country you need (state, city or ISP are optional) and replace the host, port and credentials in your client. Rotating and sticky sessions, HTTP and SOCKS5 are supported, so most scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers need only the new connection string.
