The Live Proxies alternative when a monthly allocation is more than you need

Live Proxies sells private IP allocation with instant delivery and state-level IPs in the US. Its catalogue is rotating residential, static residential and rotating mobile.

Allocation is the key word. When addresses are reserved for you, the provider cannot recycle that capacity while you hold it, so the plan has to cover the reservation rather than the traffic. That is why a plan looks expensive per gigabyte: you are paying for access that exists whether you use it or not.

A pool with no reserved addresses works the other way. The provider matches your request to an available exit and charges for the bytes. It is cheaper per gigabyte and it is not private, and both of those are true at once.

Neither model is a trick. The question is whether your workload benefits from reserved addresses enough to pay for the reservation, and whether you will use enough of the plan to make it worthwhile.

Its plans are rotating residential from $45 a month, static residential from $65 and rotating mobile from $55. That is a monthly commitment across three product lines, not a per-gigabyte rate.

Ours is a wallet. Essential is $1.50/GB and Premium is $3.00/GB, from a balance that starts at $0.50. There is no reservation and no monthly charge, and you can spread the balance across residential, mobile and ISP.

If you use most of a plan, the effective rate falls towards the metered market and their model makes sense. If you use a fraction of it, you have paid for capacity that sat idle. Most people who search for an alternative have worked out which of those they are.

There is one genuinely good feature on their side: bandwidth rollover to the standby plan. Unused bandwidth moving to a standby plan is friendlier than losing it, and our wallet achieves a similar outcome by not expiring at all under normal circumstances, as our Terms set out.

The trial is a free trial; ours is 1 GB of Premium free when a new account links Google.

Their targeting includes city, state, country and ASN filtering. Ours is country, US state and ASN on every pool, with city on Premium and Mobile.

ASN filtering at entry is genuinely good, and it is the feature that separates a serious provider from a reseller. Ours is on every pool too, Essential included, so on this point neither side makes you step up a tier.

Coverage runs the other way: geo-targeting in 50+ countries against our 150. If your work is multi-country, that gap matters more than the ASN point.

Their enterprise tier carries 10M+ addresses on its enterprise tier and API access on enterprise plans. Support is 24/7 support, with a dedicated account manager on enterprise plans. Ours is Discord tickets and email, answered by the people who run the network.

They list HTTP on every residential plan, with no SOCKS5 listed. If your stack speaks HTTP, that is enough; if it speaks SOCKS5, ours goes further on Premium, Mobile and ISP.

Their catalogue is rotating residential, static residential and rotating mobile. There are no Mac servers and no static subnets, so two of our products have no counterpart at all.

Ours adds Macs from $32 a day or $160 a month, with a day rental counted from when the machine is ready, and ISP subnets at $255 a month with one customer per subnet.

If either of those is on your list, the residential comparison is academic. If neither is, compare the metered rate against the plan, not the headline against a plan size.

Live Proxies is selling private allocation, and it prices that honestly as a reservation with rollover and a free trial. If you need addresses held for you, and a monthly plan is the shape of your workflow, it is a legitimate product.

If you want to pay for bytes, the models are not close. Our entry is a wallet from $0.50 against plans starting at rotating residential from $45 a month, static residential from $65 and rotating mobile from $55, and our country coverage is wider.

The two products we sell that it does not, subnets and Mac servers, end the comparison for anyone who needs them.
