Comparison

Aluvia alternatives on price, pool and commitment

Comparing a Aluvia alternative? The published numbers, the questions their pricing page leaves open, and a ten minute test that beats every review.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Residential proxies

Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what Aluvia publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.

Aluvia on the record

The company behind the name sits at aluvia.io.

What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for Aluvia. Rather than print a figure we cannot stand behind, this page leaves it out and tells you what to look for when you read their page yourself.

Read their page for the reachable rate rather than the headline, the minimum spend, the expiry clause and the billing treatment of blocked requests. Write down the date, because all four move.

What is on their front page

On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Global proxy IPs for AI agents · Aluvia". Written for search engines, their description says: "Aluvia lets agents change their IP address using a global network of residential IPs."

The rest of what the page puts in writing:

The page offers some form of free trial. Their pricing page is titled "Aluvia pricing , $2/GB, 10 MB free".

That is the vendor speaking, not us. We print it because a claim with a date attached is at least falsifiable.

Where published figures stop being useful

What happens when it breaks at two in the morning

Support quality is invisible until it is the only thing that matters. A cheap provider that takes three days to answer a routing problem has cost you more than the saving, and no pricing page reveals that.

Why a cheap address is often a used one

An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.

Who pays for the requests that fail

Divide the spend by the successful responses, not by the requests sent. That single change reorders most price comparisons in this market, and your accounting will use it eventually anyway.

A comparison that admits what it cannot say

This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:

That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.

How to settle it yourself in ten minutes

Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.

  1. Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
  2. Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
  3. Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
  4. Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
  5. Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.

Who else is in this bracket

The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:

Our side of it

What we offer is one account holding residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter, priced from $0.44 per GB on residential, with no tier to climb and no allocation to lose at month end. Whether that suits you depends on how steady your volume is.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a Aluvia alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
What does Aluvia advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for Aluvia, so this page does not print one. Read their own pricing page for the rate, the minimum and the commitment, and note the date you read it, because all three move.
How do I compare two providers fairly?
Match the units first, because residential is billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, and mobile per day or per port. Then compare the rate you can actually reach today rather than the volume tier behind a commitment. Finish by measuring the success rate on your own target, since a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works.
Is a cheaper provider usually worse?
Not reliably. Price in this market reflects the supply model and the sales overhead as much as the network. What price does not tell you is the success rate on your target, and that is the figure that decides whether the cheaper option was cheap or expensive. Measure before assuming either way.
How often should I re-test a provider?
Quarterly is a reasonable rhythm for most workloads, and immediately after a noticeable drop in success rate. Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves, so a benchmark from last year describes a network that no longer exists.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
