Alternatives

Ranked by computed cost at a stated volume, with the switching constraint named and reasons to stay.

Live Proxies alternatives ranked at 20 GB

Live Proxies’ smaller residential packages stop at 16 GB. The least expensive published option that covers a 20 GB requirement is therefore the 500-IP, 60-day package: 25 GB for $300. Five alternatives have lower complete checkouts at the same traffic volume. The comparison treats the package’s IP count and access term as separate constraints and makes no claim about network performance.

The ranking at 20 GB

Each result is the least expensive published residential purchase that covers 20 GB. Unused bundle capacity remains in the checkout total. Rows without a complete public purchase cost are excluded.

  2. Squid Proxies costs $40 for 30 GB and three proxy slots. It leaves 10 GB unused. Squid Proxies residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:41:11.108Z
  3. Evomi at $49.99 for 100 GB and DataImpulse at $50 for 50 GB tie. The one-cent gap is within displayed rounding and does not justify a separate order. Evomi residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z DataImpulse residential pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z

What the Live Proxies package adds

The selected package is labeled for 500 IPs, includes 25 GB, and lasts 60 days. It publishes rotating and sticky modes, a 60-minute sticky-session ceiling, country targeting, and traffic rollover on the provider’s page. A refund is available within three days only when the product has not been used. Concurrency, thread limits, and trial terms are not published. Two vendor help surfaces also conflict on traffic accounting: one says both uploaded and downloaded data count, while another says only downloaded data counts. That unresolved difference can change how quickly the 25 GB allowance is consumed and should be settled before purchase.

Where Live Proxies is stronger than Geonode

Geonode publishes non-expiring traffic, rollover, both rotation modes, and country, city, and ASN targeting. Its checkout is far lower. Live Proxies’ supported advantages are the explicit 500-IP package label and a published 60-minute sticky duration, which Geonode does not provide in the captured row. Live Proxies also attaches a 60-day service term to the package. Geonode remains stronger on traffic validity and targeting breadth, while concurrency is not published for either selected row.

Where Live Proxies is stronger than Squid Proxies

Squid explicitly provisions three proxy slots and 30 GB for 30 days. Live Proxies publishes a much larger 500-IP label, a 60-day term, sticky access up to 60 minutes, and rollover. Squid’s row publishes rotating access only; sticky access, rollover, geographic filters, and concurrency are not published. Live Proxies therefore supplies more explicit identity quantity, a longer access window, and a documented path for unused traffic. Its traffic-accounting conflict remains a material caveat because the nominal allowance may be consumed differently from Squid’s.

Where Live Proxies is stronger than the tied third place

Evomi publishes 100 GB, unrestricted concurrency, 24-hour stickiness, and a wider targeting set. Live Proxies does not beat those operational fields, but it does publish rollover and a 60-day package term, while Evomi’s selected monthly balance expires after 30 days and does not roll over. DataImpulse has non-expiring rollover traffic and broad geographic targeting, so Live Proxies’ supported advantages narrow to the explicit 500-IP package label and the published 60-minute sticky ceiling. DataImpulse’s sticky duration and concurrency ceiling are not published.

Where Live Proxies is stronger than ProxyScrape

ProxyScrape’s exact 20 GB tier publishes unrestricted concurrent connections, account-wide traffic pooling, and sticky sessions up to 120 minutes. It expires after 30 days and does not roll over. Live Proxies offers a 60-day term, rollover, and the explicit 500-IP package label, which may matter to a buyer whose workload needs a stated identity quantity. ProxyScrape is better documented for parallelism, pooling, and longer sticky sessions. Both publish country targeting, while ProxyScrape also records state and city.

Decision rule

The lower-cost alternatives are the stronger default when traffic volume is the main requirement. Staying with Live Proxies can make sense when the 500-IP package label, 60-day access term, sticky mode, and rollover are already important to the workflow. Do not decide from the allowance alone. Confirm whether upload traffic counts, how rollover interacts with renewal, the actual concurrency ceiling, and whether all labeled IPs are available for the intended geography.
