Here is the thing nobody explains when you buy residential proxies.

You are usually sharing. That enormous pool a provider advertises is the same pool every other customer is drawing from, at the same time. The address you get may have been used by three other people in the last hour, on the same target.

Live Proxies uses private allocation, which means the addresses assigned to you are yours for the duration rather than shared with everyone else on the platform.


Why Allocation Beats Pool Size

A hundred million shared addresses sounds better than a thousand private ones. In practice it often is not.

With a shared pool, your success rate depends on what strangers did with your address before you got it. You cannot see it, cannot control it, and cannot explain your failures when they happen.

With private allocation, the address's recent history is your history. If it works, you know why. If it stops working, you know what you did.

That predictability is worth more than raw volume for anything where consistency matters, which is most account work and a lot of monitoring.


Two Clearly Separated Plans

The split here is unusually clean.

Individual gives you private allocation, instant access, easy setup, self checkout and community support. You buy without talking to anyone and start immediately.

Enterprise adds bulk pricing, API access, high scalability, filtering by city, state, country and ASN, a free trial and dedicated support.

Most providers pretend one product suits both audiences and end up frustrating each. Naming them separately, with different features and different support models, is more honest and easier to buy from.


ASN Filtering on the Enterprise Tier

Worth explaining, because it is the most technically valuable item on that list.

An ASN identifies the network that routes an address. Being able to filter by it means you can deliberately spread your addresses across different networks, so ten addresses look like ten unrelated households rather than one block behaving oddly.

Without that control, country targeting can hand you ten addresses on one network, and any site looking past the surface will correlate them.


Residential and Mobile

The products are rotating residential drawn from real peer addresses, and mobile for the targets that reject everything else.

Rotation, sticky sessions, geo targeting, SOCKS5 and API access are all supported, with pricing published per plan rather than hidden behind a form.


Who It Fits

Live Proxies suits anyone whose results have been inconsistent on shared pools, account work needing predictable address behaviour, enterprise teams wanting ASN level control, and individuals who want to buy without a sales conversation.


Who Might Look Elsewhere

Private allocation costs more per address than shared pool access. If you are doing high volume collection on easy targets, shared is cheaper and perfectly adequate.

There is no datacenter or ISP tier here, so if you need those, you need a second provider.


Final Verdict

Live Proxies competes on a dimension most of this market does not even mention.

Private allocation rather than shared pool access, a clean split between individual and enterprise, ASN and city filtering for teams that need it, and residential and mobile addresses from real peers.

If your success rates have been unpredictable and you cannot work out why, shared allocation is a likely culprit and this is the way to test that theory. Our guide to checking a proxy covers how to measure the difference properly.
