What we think after testing Live Proxies
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last updated Jul 16, 2026
Live Proxies (liveproxies.io) is a premium residential and mobile proxy provider that markets itself on quality and private IP allocation rather than the lowest price. Public materials and the company's own pages put its founding around 2020, with a head office listed in Studio City, California. The company built its early reputation in the sneaker-copping community before broadening into mainstream use cases such as e-commerce monitoring, ad verification, market research, SEO/SERP work, brand protection and controlled web scraping. Its defining pitch is that each IP is privately allocated to the customer rather than drawn from a noisy shared pool, which the company argues improves reliability and reduces interference from other users.
The product line covers three proxy types: rotating residential, static residential (an ISP-style persistent residential IP), and rotating mobile (3G/4G/5G carrier IPs). There is no datacenter tier and no standalone scraping API, web unblocker or SERP API product. According to the site and corroborating third-party reviews, the network spans 10M+ IPs across 55+ countries/locations, with the deepest coverage in the US, UK and Canada. Targeting is reasonably granular for the supported regions: country-level selection plus US state, city, ZIP and ISP/ASN-style filtering. Proxies are delivered through a dashboard, default to sticky sessions (reviewers cite an average ~60-minute session window) and also support rotating behaviour. SOCKS5 alongside HTTP/S and API access are documented primarily for the B2B/enterprise tier.
Pricing is unusual and deserves close reading before buying. Live Proxies splits its catalog into ready-to-buy B2C plans and customized B2B/enterprise contracts. The official pricing page frames B2C as "starting at $7/GB" and B2B as "as low as $1.00/GB" on shared enterprise pools. In practice the smallest concrete B2C rotating-residential plan is around $70 for 200 IPs with 4 GB of bandwidth over 30 days, and tiers scale up by IP count, bandwidth and duration (30/45/60/90-day terms), with effective per-GB cost dropping on larger bundles (down to roughly $8.75/GB on a 16 GB plan). The page also references a metered versus unmetered choice (metered cited by reviewers near $11.25/GB). One consistent caveat across reviews is that the public pricing and feature documentation can be inconsistent and assumes an advanced audience, so confirm the exact bandwidth, session behaviour, protocol support and B2C-versus-B2B feature split for your specific plan before paying.
Payments run through Stripe and include cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay; there is no clearly documented cryptocurrency option on the official pages. The refund policy is strict: the published terms describe a no-refund stance with a narrow exception, allowing a refund only if the product is unused and the request is made within 3 days of purchase, with technical issues typically resolved via free data or a free extension rather than cash back. Free trials are offered, but only to qualified B2B clients after KYC; individual B2C buyers are steered toward purchasing the smallest plan instead of trialing.
Reputation is a genuine strength. On published third-party aggregators Live Proxies carries strong scores, including a Trustpilot rating in the mid-4.7 range across several hundred reviews and high marks on G2, with reviewers repeatedly praising anti-detection performance, ease of setup and responsive support. Independent hands-on testing from proxy review sites has reported clean results against common targets, supporting the provider's quality positioning. The company also maintains an official YouTube channel for tutorials and feature updates.
The weaknesses are equally clear. Geographic depth is concentrated in the US, UK and Canada, so buyers needing broad or exotic country coverage may find the usable pool thinner than the headline 55+ figure suggests. The B2C plans are premium and opinionated, bundling IP counts, bandwidth and fixed durations in ways that suit specific workflows but penalize anyone wanting simple flexible pay-as-you-go. The hard 3-day, unused-only refund window and the lack of a self-serve trial for individuals raise the risk of buying before you can validate fit. Documentation gaps around sessions, SOCKS5 and protocol wording add friction. And the absence of datacenter proxies or a managed scraping/unblocking API means data-collection teams that want an all-in-one stack will need to pair this with another vendor.
