Soax

Soax is a British provider working since 2020, and its centre of gravity is rotating traffic: residential and mobile IPs across a very wide geography, backed by one of the largest pools in this comparison. It is the kind of service you buy when the job is measured in hundreds of gigabytes per month and the priority is coverage plus a price that stops surprising you as volume grows.

The narrow spot is on the other side of the catalogue. Static addresses, both ISP and static residential, exist in a single country, and they are billed per gigabyte rather than per IP. For anyone who needs long-lived addresses in Europe or a handful of IPs on a monthly invoice, that alone decides the question before any price comparison starts.

Who Soax fits and who should look elsewhere

The task Soax is built around is large-scale collection: price monitoring, search result harvesting, ad verification, dataset building, anything where requests are spread over many countries and the monthly bill is dominated by traffic. Rotating residential and mobile products cover 181 countries each, and the per-gigabyte rate flattens out early, which makes budgeting for a long-running crawler simple. If you plan a pipeline that eats several hundred gigabytes a month and you want one vendor for rotating residential, mobile and datacenter traffic at once, Soax answers that.

The task it does not answer is static addresses outside the United States. Both ISP and static residential lists at Soax exist in one country. Proxy Seller sells ISP proxies in 24 countries, Webshare in 11, BrightData in 50. If your accounts need a German or Italian residential IP that stays yours for months, Soax is not a candidate at any price.

There is a second disqualifier, and it is structural rather than geographic. Soax bills static products by traffic consumed, not by address per month. Every other provider named here sells a static IP as a monthly line item with traffic included. Someone who needs twenty stable addresses for multi-accounting and wants a predictable fixed invoice will find the Soax model works against them: the bill moves with usage, and there is no per-IP plan to anchor it.

What it actually costs

Start with a realistic mid-size job. A crawler doing 300 GB of residential traffic per month lands on the 250-350 GB step at $2.46/GB, which is about $738 a month. Push the same crawler to 1000 GB and the rate is $2.00/GB, or $2,000. Push it to 3000 GB and the rate is still $2.00/GB, so the bill triples to $6,000 with no volume reward at all.

That is the single most important thing to understand about Soax pricing: the discount ladder has a floor, and it is reached early. From the 700-850 GB step onward the price stops moving. Buying more does not make traffic cheaper, which inverts the usual planning logic. With most providers you consolidate volume with one vendor to earn a better rate; with Soax, once you pass roughly 700 GB there is nothing left to earn, and the only reason to keep everything in one place is convenience.

The chart below plots the residential rate against volume and shows exactly where the ladder stops descending.

Rotating datacenter traffic is the other half of the story and the cheapest thing in the catalogue: $0.62/GB at 100-150 GB, $0.49/GB at 250-350 GB, $0.42/GB at 2000-3000 GB and $0.40/GB at 5000 GB. Here the ladder keeps working, though the steps are small. A 2000 GB datacenter job costs $840 a month, which is roughly what 340 GB of residential traffic costs.

The next chart compares the cheapest gigabyte in each provider's whole catalogue, and Soax leads it. Read it carefully: that leading number is datacenter traffic, not residential. It says nothing about what rotating residential costs, and comparing it to a residential rate elsewhere would be meaningless.

ISP and static residential at Soax follow the same per-gigabyte ladder: $3.00/GB at 25-38 GB, $2.80/GB at 40-60 GB, $2.10/GB at 250-350 GB and $1.50/GB from 1000 GB up. Two things are not included in that price. One is country choice: there is only the United States. The other is the certainty that a fixed number of addresses gives you, since what you are paying for is bandwidth on static IPs, not the IPs themselves.

Where Soax loses to the named alternatives

Comparison below is split by proxy type, and all tables use the same three volume steps: 250-350 GB, 1000 GB and 3000 GB. These are the steps where Soax has published rates, and they cover the range where a serious buyer actually operates.

Rotation Residential Proxies, $/GB

Soax is second cheapest at the 250-350 GB step and loses that position as volume grows. At 1000 GB the gap to Proxy Seller is $0.55/GB, which is $550 a month on the same traffic; at 3000 GB the gap widens to $2,100 a month. Proxyscrape overtakes Soax between 1000 and 3000 GB for the same reason: its ladder keeps descending while the Soax rate is already parked.

The grouped chart makes the pattern visible at a glance: whose rate keeps falling with volume and whose stops.

Rotation Mobile Proxies, $/GB

Soax charges exactly the same for rotating mobile traffic as for residential at every step, and that is unusual: BrightData asks 2.5 times its residential rate at 3000 GB for the same product class. If your targets respond better to carrier IPs, Soax lets you switch without a budget conversation, and it is the cheapest mobile option here at the 250-350 GB step.

Rotation Datacenter Proxies, $/GB

These two are effectively tied on rotating datacenter traffic, with BrightData slightly ahead at the mid step and identical at 3000 GB. Soax pulls ahead only at its top step of 5000 GB, where the rate drops to $0.40/GB. On a 3000 GB month the difference between them is zero, so the choice comes down to country coverage and the rest of the account, not the gigabyte price.

Static and ISP addresses: different units, not different prices

The numbers in this table are not comparable line by line, and that is the point. A gigabyte and an address per month are different goods: with Soax the static bill scales with how much you pull through those US addresses, with the other four it scales with how many addresses you hold. Practically, Soax static makes sense when traffic through a small set of US IPs is modest and predictable; the per-IP model wins when you need many addresses, several countries, or heavy usage on each one. A full breakdown of the two approaches lives on our static residential page.

On geography of the rotating products the picture is less dramatic than the static one. The chart below shows country coverage across the group.

Soax sits in the upper half and trails the leaders by a margin that almost never matters in practice, because the missing entries are small markets. The real geographic weakness is not visible on this chart at all: it is the single country on static products.

What the price buys and what testing costs

The first thing that comes with the gigabyte is pool size. Soax lists 190M+ IPs, ahead of BrightData at 150M+, Proxyscrape at 120M+, Webshare at 80M+, NodeMaven at 30M+ and Proxy Seller at 20M+. This matters because the usual trade for a cheap gigabyte is a smaller pool, and here the trade does not apply: the two providers that beat Soax on residential price at high volume both work from noticeably smaller pools. If your targets aggressively fingerprint and reuse detection is a real risk, that difference is what you are paying the extra dollars for.

The second thing is the cost of finding out whether it works for you. Soax asks $1.99 for a trial and adds a 72 hour refund window, which is the strongest combination in this group: you pay a token amount, and if the first serious test fails you are still inside the window. NodeMaven charges $3.50 for a trial with no refund period at all, and BrightData offers a free trial with no refund window, which means anything you deposit afterwards is committed. Webshare gives 48 hours, Proxyscrape 72 hours, Proxy Seller pairs a $1.99 trial with 24 hours.

Payment is the one place where Soax is thin: cards and cryptocurrency, two options. Crypto covers buyers who keep payment details separate from usage, and cards cover most of the rest, but there is no PayPal and no local payment rail. Proxyscrape and BrightData each accept five methods including PayPal and AliPay, and for a company whose finance department pays vendors through PayPal or needs an invoice trail through Payoneer, that difference decides procurement before anyone looks at the rate card.

What users say about Soax

In scraping and affiliate communities Soax comes up as an infrastructure choice rather than a starter one. The recurring compliment on forums and in scraper discussions is consistency: people running long crawls report that the service behaves the same way in week four as in week one, and that the wide country list is real rather than decorative. That reputation is why Soax is frequently named alongside the largest enterprise vendors even though it is a smaller company, and it matches what the pricing sheet shows, since a flat rate across the whole upper range is what a provider offers when it expects long contracts rather than one-off purchases.

The complaints that repeat are also consistent with the tariff structure. Buyers with small monthly needs say the entry rate is not competitive and that they felt like the wrong customer; the same people note that support attention scales with account size, which is a common pattern among providers whose economics are built on volume accounts. Nobody in these discussions questions IP quality, which is the useful signal: the criticism is about who the service is for, not about whether it works.

Our own rating for Soax is 4.88, and it reflects the same split: strong product, narrow fit at the small end.

Two scenarios with the numbers

Scenario A, marketplace price monitoring. A team tracks product listings across several European storefronts and burns roughly 300 GB a month on rotating residential with country-level targeting and short sticky sessions so each product page is fetched consistently. That lands on the 250-350 GB step at $2.46/GB, about $738 a month. At this exact volume it is worth pricing Proxy Seller as well: the same step there is $2.00/GB, or $600, and the $138 monthly difference is the price of the larger Soax pool. If the targets are soft, the cheaper option is defensible; if they block aggressively, the pool is the thing you are actually buying.

Scenario B, bulk collection from sources without serious bot protection: documentation sites, public registries, RSS-style feeds. Around 2000 GB a month on the rotating datacenter pool at $0.42/GB comes to $840. The same 2000 GB on Soax residential would be $4,000, so the type choice matters five times more than the vendor choice here. Against the named alternatives, only BrightData plays in this range at all, and it matches rather than beats the rate, so a buyer who already runs residential traffic at Soax has no reason to split the account.

Verdict

Buy Soax when your monthly traffic runs from a few hundred gigabytes upward, you need rotation across a wide country list, and you want mobile IPs without paying a mobile premium. The 190M+ pool is the largest here, the $1.99 trial with a 72 hour refund window makes the test nearly free, and rotating datacenter traffic at $0.40-0.62/GB is genuinely competitive for the volume tier it serves.

Do not buy it when you need static or ISP addresses outside the United States, when you want a fixed number of IPs on a fixed monthly invoice, or when your consumption sits under a few dozen gigabytes: at 25-38 GB the residential rate is $3.60/GB, and Proxy Seller charges $2.40/GB on the same step. Above 3000 GB the flat $2.00/GB floor also means Proxy Seller and Proxyscrape simply cost less for the same volume, so heavy users should price all three. One practical detail before paying: confirm how long purchased traffic remains valid, since that determines whether an unused balance carries into the next month.
