Why people switch to HProxy
- Pay as you go from $0.44/GB, with no subscription and no minimum spend.
- A balance that never expires, so unused traffic is not lost at month end.
- A network we verify around the clock, so you buy working addresses, not a headline pool number.
- Residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter in one account, with city-level targeting.
When SOAX is the right pick
We would rather be straight than salesy. Some buyers genuinely fit SOAX better, and the full comparison says exactly when. If you need a large enterprise platform, a signed account or tooling we do not build, that is a fair reason to pay up. If you mostly need clean IPs without the platform or its bill, that is what HProxy is for.
