Smartproxy Alternatives

Deciding which datacenter is right for you can be a tedious job. You can’t just sign up with the first proxy provider you see on the search results as you can end up wasting your money on poor service quality and useless proxies. When you think about it, you may really need to do some testing to prove that the proxy works for you.

What if we tell you that you can try out Limeproxies for free for two days? If you’re not convinced, take a look at the table below and see an extensive comparison between Limeproxies and Smartproxy.

It’s apparent that Limeproxies is way ahead of Smart proxy in terms of features, although they both have the same basic ones. Here are some features we are truly proud of:

When you sign up with a proxy server, there is a chance that you will be assigned some proxies that have been used before. What if the previous user was involved in illicit online transactions? That can only mean that the proxies are blacklisted on some website or online platform. With virgin proxies, you are assured that they have never been used before so there’s no danger of them being blocked on a website you will be accessing.

As the name suggests, dedicated IP addresses are exclusively yours to use. You won’t be sharing them with other clients as opposed to shared IPs. Why are dedicated IPs better than shared IPs? You might ask. Here are some of the reasons:

• Complete control over the proxy: You are the sole user of the proxy IP so you can use it any way you want, any time. With shared IPs, you would have to share everything with multiple clients, including the bandwidth. This may slow down your connection, pushing you to connect to the proxy during the wee hours when there are fewer users than usual.
• Faster speed: Since you won’t be sharing the IP with other clients, the bandwidth is all yours. You don’t have to compete with anyone at all.

As we mentioned at the beginning, you can test out our proxies for free since we offer a two-day free trial period. You can do anything you want with the proxies since there are no restrictions during these two days.

We know how hard you worked to earn money, so if you aren’t satisfied with our service, we can give your money back if you cancel within three days of subscription. Some proxy providers don’t even have any money-back guarantee to start with, so your money is safe with us.

We have proxies from different locations around the world. You can check the list of locations here.

There might come a time when your IP will get blocked by a website or platform. You don’t have to worry when this happens since we offer a one time IP refresh so you can change your proxies.

Conclusion

Unmatched features like Anytime IP refresh, dedicated account manager, money back guarantee, SOCKS, proxy servers in multiple countries, dedicated IPs and virgin proxies make Limeproxies the best there is. No other proxies offer these features at an affordable price of 75 cents for each private proxy and $1.50 for each premium proxies.

Last updated: March 2026. The best proxy alternative is the one that proves higher success rate on your actual target websites, not just a bigger advertised IP pool. Use this checklist before switching providers:

1. Validate success rate and block rate on your top domains. 2) Compare median and p95 latency by location. 3) Confirm protocol support for HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5. 4) Verify support SLA and escalation path for incidents. 5) Run a split-traffic pilot before full migration. Controlled rollout and domain-level tuning usually outperform one-step migrations. For plan fit and cost modeling, review LimeProxies pricing and test with a small pilot first.
