BetaSocks.com alternatives: its passes, the list behind them and six rivals (2026)

BetaSocks (betasocks.com) sells access to a list of SOCKS5 proxies in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. It sells passes: $5 for 7 days, $7 for 15 days or $10 for 30 days with 50 IPs a day, and a $20 Special with 115 a day for 30 days. Those four prices have stood since August 2016. Used in full, the 30-day passes come to 0.67 and 0.58 cents an IP, below every per-IP price we found on 14 October 2026. The nearest model, 711Proxy's SOCKS5 pass, costs $30 for 15 days at 100 IPs a day, or 0.73 cents an IP at best. BetaSocks names no company and publishes no terms, refund rule or privacy policy. Six sellers are priced below, each with the company behind it.

BetaSocks' prices on 14 October 2026

Its package page lists four passes. Each pass sets how many proxies you may take from the list in 24 hours, and for how many days. The 7-day pass reads: "7 Days plans you may use 50 live ip in 24 hours and plans will expire in 7 days". A note under the plans adds: "Each days allowance will not be added to the following day if not used". So what one IP costs depends on how many you take.

The list itself is public, and when we read it on 14 October 2026 at 12:10 UTC it held 1,921 proxies, the figure the home page printed as "Total IP online: 1921".

Each row names a state, a city, a ZIP code and the network the address sits on, 132 networks in all. Telstra leads with 314 rows, then Comcast (160), Virgin Media (140), Aussie Fibre (100) and Sky (88). Eleven rows sit on Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, the company behind Starlink. The US rows cover all 50 states and Washington, DC. Four rows name regions outside the four countries, in Algeria, the Dominican Republic, Barbados and Bangladesh. Every row is marked Auth, for a username and password. Half the proxies had been online for less than 46 hours, 721 for less than a day, and the longest for 15 days. A proxy works "as long its remain active", in the words of the site's browser guides.

How the prices moved

They have not: the first archived package page, of 18 August 2016, lists the same four passes at the same prices, and so does every copy we read since. The one change is in the Special pass, which allowed 150 IPs a day in the copies up to at least May 2022 and 115 from March 2023. That is 23% fewer IPs for the same $20, so its price per IP rose from 0.44 to 0.58 cents.

The list is what moves.

The first copy, of January 2016, counted 730 proxies: 710 in the US and 18 in Canada. The United Kingdom's list first appears in the archive in October 2022, and Australia's in March 2023. Between our reads of 27 September and 14 October 2026, the United Kingdom fell from 713 proxies to 375 and Australia rose from 331 to 692.

The fine print: a daily allowance and no written rules

A daily allowance. A day's unused IPs do not carry over to the next day. When the pass ends, "No socks will be carried forward". 711Proxy's SOCKS5 passes follow the same rule.

No rules in writing. The usual addresses for terms, privacy, refunds, an FAQ, contacts and an about page all answered 404 on 14 October 2026, and no page links to any of them. The one rule on the site is a notice: "All illegal and criminal activities are forbidden".

Payment. The pictures in its footer show crypto and e-wallets only: Binance Pay, Bitcoin, USDT, Perfect Money and WebMoney. No card logo appears. USDT arrived by March 2024, with a note that the "Minimun upload amount for USDT is $10", and Binance Pay followed by January 2025. Today's banner offers USDT on the BNB Smart Chain with "$0 transaction fees".

Sign-up. The form asks for a name, an e-mail address, a password and a Skype ID.

What it says it is for. The home page names "Craigslist, Badoo, Locanto, PoF, Posting ads, Temporary Surveys". Each of those sites sets its own rules on proxies.

Who runs BetaSocks: no name in any record

No page of betasocks.com names a company, a person, an address or a country. The registry record names only the registrar: betasocks.com was registered on 21 December 2015 through Internet Domain Service BS Corp. It runs on Cloudflare's name servers and is paid up to 21 December 2026. Support runs through a Telegram account, @BetaSocks_Support, whose profile reads "Ask anything about you need help related to BetaSocks service". The e-mail address on the page is hidden behind Cloudflare's address protection. The footer links a WebMoney passport, number 529772176291, but WebMoney shows a passport's details only to signed-in members, so we could not read it. The list page's own footer spells the name Beatsocks.com.

The archive adds a little more: support ran over Skype in every yearly copy up to 2025. The copies of 2017 and 2018 listed a second Skype contact, the "Bangladesh Manager". By September 2026 Telegram had taken Skype's place, though the sign-up form still asks for a Skype ID.

In 2016 the home page sold its proxies for "Craigslist and Backpage posting". By January 2019 the line read "Craigslist or classified posting", and since February 2023 it has also named dating sites and "Temporary Surveys".

Six alternatives, priced the same day

Two of the six sell the way BetaSocks does: 711Proxy has the same daily pass, and 711Proxy and 9Proxy sell residential IPs one at a time. All six sell residential traffic by the gigabyte. We read each price on 14 October 2026, before VAT, for a new customer.

BetaSocks' $10 assumes 50 IPs on each of 30 days, and a day you skip is lost. 711Proxy's pass gives 100 a day for 15 days and assigns the countries at random. Its FAQ gives each IP an online time of 5 minutes to 24 hours. Its per-IP plans and 9Proxy's let you choose the place, and the IPs you have not used never expire.

Here is who stands behind each seller, from the records on our company pages.

• 711Proxy: its English terms name VELOCITY WAVE LIMITED of Hong Kong. Its SOCKS5 passes run from $30 for 15 days at 100 IPs a day to $220 at 2,000. By the IP it charges $10 for 50, down to $100 for 2,000. Those per-IP plans target by country, state and city, and their credits never expire.
• 9Proxy: its terms name ConnectWise Limited of Hong Kong. It sells residential IPs one at a time through a desktop app, from $24 for 100 to $8,625 for 500,000. Unused IPs do not expire, and traffic by the gigabyte starts at $15 for 5 GB.
• DataImpulse: its terms are signed by Softoria LLC of Florida. It charges $1 a GB with SOCKS5 included, starting with $5 for 5 GB. Its gigabytes never expire.
• Webshare: part of Oxylabs since 2022. Its proxy list gives 10 datacenter proxies free and 100 for $2.99 a month, over HTTP or SOCKS5. Residential traffic starts at $3.50 for 1 GB a month.
• Proxy-Cheap: its contract names no company, and UAB Lietparkas of Vilnius holds its trade marks. Residential traffic starts at $4.50 for 3 GB. One static residential address costs $2.71 a month, with a 7-day trial at $1.99.
• ASocks: its terms have named four companies since 2022. It charges $3 a GB for every kind of traffic, pay as you go.

Shops that sold SOCKS5 addresses one at a time have closed before, and our pages record how. 922 S5 Proxy and PIA S5 Proxy went dark after Google's action of January 2026. ABCProxy's domain now sits in a sinkhole. RSOCKS was seized by the FBI in 2022.

Where HProxy fits

We sell residential traffic too, $0.50 per GB over HTTP or SOCKS5, from a balance that never expires. Our static ISP addresses cost $2.70 per IP a month, and you hold one for as long as you keep it. The seller on our side is Obsidian UG, under German law, as our terms state. Whichever seller you choose, test what you get with our free proxy checker before you buy more.

Which one to pick

• BetaSocks for many short-lived IPs in the US, the UK, Canada or Australia at the lowest price per IP. It suits you only if you can do without written rules; start with the $5 pass.
• 711Proxy for the same daily pass under published terms, if random countries suit you. Its per-IP plans add city targeting.
• 9Proxy to pay per IP through a desktop app, with IPs that never expire.
• DataImpulse to pay by the gigabyte with SOCKS5, from $5.
• Webshare to try a SOCKS5 list for free, with 10 datacenter proxies.
• Proxy-Cheap for one static residential address for a month, at $2.71.

What we could not find out

We bought no pass and tested no proxy, so speed and success rates are unknown. The counts are BetaSocks' own, and they change by the hour. No record names who runs it, and the WebMoney passport in its footer opens only to signed-in members. The site says nothing about where its addresses come from. Every price here is due for a fresh read by 14 January 2027.
