Choosing
Amazon pages are heavy, so per-GB price dominates. Geonode is cheapest at modest volumes; Rayobyte and Geonode compete at terabyte scale; Webshare and Rayobyte offer ZIP targeting for delivery data. When residential success drops, both Rayobyte and Geonode offer per-request APIs. See Rayobyte for Amazon data and Geonode for Amazon scraping.
A worked monthly budget
Collecting 100,000 Amazon product pages a month at about 700 KB of HTML each is roughly 70 GB:
- Geonode residential: the cheapest at list prices for this volume, since it charges well under a dollar per GB at small volumes.
- Rayobyte Premium Residential: $140 at the $2 tier, with ZIP targeting for delivery data.
- Webshare residential: roughly $160 on a plan of similar size.
- Rayobyte Scraping API: about $180 for 100,000 successful pages, regardless of page weight and with retries included.
If your residential success rate is below about 80%, the API can be the cheaper option per successful page.
Residential tip: If you only add one provider to an existing setup, add the one that fills a gap: Rayobyte lists HTTP/3, SOCKS5 UDP and device OS targeting on its residential traffic, which few providers offer, plus US mobile proxies. More in Rayobyte for Amazon data.
Fetch less, pay less
- Request only the HTML, never images, scripts or styles.
- Use product identifiers to fetch exactly what you need.
- Store raw HTML so layout changes don't force a refetch.
- Stop review pagination at a sensible depth.

Strengths and watch-outs
| Provider | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Rayobyte | ZIP delivery data, API fallback, scale | Small-volume price |
| Geonode | Cheapest residential for heavy pages, API fallback | No ZIP |
| Webshare | ZIP residential alongside cheap lists | Pricier at volume; no API |
Proxy tip: To test the Geonode side of this comparison, a small residential balance from Geonode is enough, and it doesn't expire if you pause. See Geonode for Amazon data for its full product range.
Bottom line
Geonode for cost at modest volume, Rayobyte for ZIP data and scale, and an API whenever success drops.
