Live Proxies

Who Live Proxies fits and who should skip it

Official website: https://liveproxies.io/

The buyer here is someone whose targets sit in the markets Live Proxies covers: North America, the UK and most of Western Europe, plus Australia, Brazil, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico and Turkey. US retail price monitoring, sneaker and ticket drops, ad verification on US placements, account work on platforms that judge you by the reputation of your subnet. For those tasks the 21-country list is not a limitation, it is the whole product.

The other half of the pitch is exclusivity. On a shared rotating pool you inherit whatever the previous user did with that address twenty minutes ago; on a pool allocated to you, you do not. That matters exactly where the target keeps history on the IP and punishes it, which is most of retail and most of social.

Skip the self-serve plans if your task needs real geographic breadth: they cover 21 countries, so SERP checks across Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia or Africa end right there. The enterprise plans are a different conversation, with 55+ countries, but they start where volume is counted in terabytes. This chart puts the self-serve coverage next to the providers you would otherwise consider.

Two offers sit behind one name, and the card at the top of this page shows both. The self-serve plans, called Individual on their site, cover 21 countries: the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, most of Western Europe, and Australia, Brazil, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico and Turkey. The Enterprise plans add 55+ countries, API access, SOCKS5 and targeting down to city and ISP, and they are the ones behind the prices from 1000 GB up. If you need a country outside that list, you are an enterprise buyer here.

What it actually costs

Entry is brutal and you should know it before you open the pricing page: $12.50/GB at 5-8 GB. That is not a rounding error against the market, it is roughly three times what a mainstream rotating pool charges at the same step. At small volumes you are paying a setup premium for a private allocation you barely use.

The ladder is also not monotonic, and that surprises people. Price falls to $8.75/GB at 15-20 GB, then goes back up at the 25-38 GB step. That is not a typo in our table: the steps come from different plan families, and the one that looks like a discount tier is actually a different product. Check which plan you are buying before you assume bigger means cheaper.

The number that matters is 1000 GB. At that volume the price lands at $2/GB, which is market rate rather than a premium, and a month of that traffic costs $2,000. Below roughly a few hundred gigabytes, Live Proxies is a specialist purchase; at four figures of traffic it is simply a normal-priced residential network with a private pool attached. Those volume prices are the Enterprise grid, which keeps falling to $1.25/GB at 5000 GB, and they come with the 55+ country pool rather than the 21 self-serve countries.

What the per-gigabyte number does not include is a refund. Sales are final, with one exception for an unused plan bought by mistake. The self-serve plans have no trial either, so the smallest plan is your test; enterprise buyers get a free trial once terms are agreed.

Where Live Proxies loses to named rivals

Same type, same volume steps, no mixing of billing models. These five are the rotating residential sellers worth putting next to Live Proxies because they all bill per gigabyte on comparable tiers.

At small volume the gap is not close: Live Proxies costs more than three times Thordata on the same 5-8 GB step. By 1000 GB the gap is gone, and Live Proxies is actually cheaper per gigabyte than NodeMaven and Relayox there. The crossover is the whole story of this provider.

Mobile is a different market and deserves its own table. Live Proxies publishes mobile prices for its self-serve plan only, the rest publish mobile grids across much wider lists, and the entry step is where the comparison bites.

On mobile there is no volume escape hatch in the published grid, so the $15/GB entry is what you deal with. If you need rotating mobile addresses in bulk and the country does not have to be the US, the three alternatives above are a different order of cost.

What comes with the gigabyte

Start with the pool. Live Proxies lists 10M+ addresses against 120M+ at Proxyscrape, 60M+ at Thordata, 47M+ at Proxy Seller and 30M+ at NodeMaven. Read those numbers carefully: a 10M pool spread over 21 countries is denser per country than a 120M pool spread over 195. Density in the geography you actually need is the useful metric, and total pool size on a homepage is not.

Then the cost of checking. There is no trial and no refund window here, so the minimum you risk is a full first order. Relayox sells a $1/200MB trial and refunds within 168 hours, Proxyscrape has a free trial and a 72 hour window, NodeMaven charges $3.50 to try and offers no refund at all. Against that, Live Proxies asks you to commit blind.

Payment is the third difference, and it cuts both ways. Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, but no cryptocurrency, while every other provider in these tables takes crypto and Relayox takes nothing else. That is a deliberate signal about who Live Proxies wants as a client: businesses with card rails and invoices, not anonymous buyers.

Here is where we disagree with the standard advice. The usual line is that a narrow country list is always a weakness and you should prefer the provider with 195 flags. We do not buy it for US-facing work. What blocks you is not how many countries exist in the pool, it is who else is hammering your exact subnet right now, and a private allocation in 21 countries beats a hundred-million shared pool on precisely that axis. Breadth is a feature of the task, not of the provider.

Track record and support

Live Proxies started in 2020 in California as a residential proxy source for sneaker bots, and the self-serve product still carries that origin: private allocation, sticky sessions and US state targeting. Later it widened into rotating mobile and custom enterprise plans, which is where the 55+ country pool and the per-terabyte pricing come from.

Support runs around the clock through a help center and a Discord server, and enterprise clients get a dedicated account manager. Payment goes through Stripe, and plans are bought manually rather than renewed automatically, so there is no subscription to cancel. The user reviews block further down this page collects what buyers report after using it.

Two scenarios with the numbers

Scenario A: price and stock monitoring across American retail, 1000 GB a month. At $2/GB that is $2,000, and the same traffic at Thordata's 1000 GB rate would be $1,800. Two hundred dollars a month is the premium for a private pool, and one blocked crawl cycle a week costs more than that in retries and lost data. At this volume the purchase defends itself.

Scenario B: a small affiliate setup on US mobile, 5-8 GB a month. At $15/GB you are paying a lot for very little traffic, and Relayox or Proxyscrape will sell you the same step for a quarter of that. Justify it only when the target is hostile enough that carrier-grade NAT addresses are the only thing that survives, and cheaper mobile has already failed you. Otherwise it is money burned on prestige.

Verdict

Buy Live Proxies when the pool being yours matters and either your targets sit in their 21 self-serve countries, or your volume reaches the four-figure gigabyte range where the Enterprise grid, with 55+ countries, becomes an ordinary price. Under those conditions it is a clean, focused product and the premium is defensible.

Do not buy the self-serve plans for broad-geography web scraping, do not buy it for small monthly volumes, and do not buy it if you need the safety net of a refund. For those cases start from the rotating residential rating and pick a provider whose entry step is not three times the market. Everything here hinges on one question: is your volume big enough for the Enterprise grid, and if not, are all your targets inside their 21 countries?
