We compete with SOAX, so treat every line below as coming from an interested party. What follows is the record we hold, the questions their marketing page does not answer, and a test you can run yourself that outranks this page and every other review.
What SOAX advertises
Read from their own public pricing pages on 10 August 2026, and stated as advertised rather than as verified by us:
- Mobile: from $5 per GB with no commitment, falling to $0.35 per GB on Enterprise plan at $3,000/month AND Tier 3 countries.
- Residential: from $5 per GB with no commitment, falling to $0.25 per GB on Tier 3 geography AND Enterprise $3,000/month AND the 15+TB usage bucket.
Every one of those is a published rate rather than a measured outcome. That is not a criticism of SOAX: our own page is built from the same material. It is the reason the rest of this comparison is about what published rates leave out.
SOAX in its own words
On 9 September 2026 the site introduced itself as "The web changes. Your access doesn't. , SOAX". Their meta description, the sentence Google shows under the link, says: "SOAX handles IP rotation and selection in one connected system, so requests travel a shorter path and your connection stays fast and reliable."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are residential, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 195 countries or locations. Their pricing page is titled "Simple, predictable pricing that scales with you , SOAX".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
How far back the record goes
The domain was registered on 23 December 2002, through Cloudflare, Inc, which makes it about 23 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 23 April 2026. The current registration term ends 23 December 2026.
None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.
What we hold on ownership and naming: Founder Evgeny Kayumov; London entity; Markets itself explicitly against pricing games while double-gating its floor.
What SOAX publishes
We crawled 741 pages of their site on 18 June 2026 and found 112 blog pages, 2 pricing pages, 198 location pages, 19 use-case pages and 17 integration pages.
Site size is a signal about marketing budget rather than network quality, and the two are frequently unrelated. It is useful for a different reason: a provider with many pricing pages is usually segmenting hard, and a provider with none is selling by quotation.
Whether anyone is still working on it
Our crawl of their site found 741 pages carrying a date, 112 of them articles. The oldest is from January 2023 and the newest from August 2026. 268 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Timestamps are not quality, and a company still publishing is at least a company still trading. That is worth more than it sounds in a market where providers disappear without notice.
What the search data says about SOAX
Worldwide, the brand carries about 80 searches a month: 50 a month for their pricing and 30 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
The largest share is people trying to work out what it costs, which is the honest starting point for a page like this one.
At up to $10.18 a click, these are expensive words. Worth remembering when a review ranks first and happens to recommend whoever pays the most.
What you still do not know after reading their site
A commitment is part of the price
A commitment converts a variable cost into a fixed one. That is a good trade at steady volume and a poor one otherwise, and the decision belongs to you rather than to whichever tier looks cheapest per unit.
The reputation you inherit
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.
The line item hidden in the success rate
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
The two of us, on the questions that matter
Here are the comparisons that survive contact with a real workload:
| Question to ask | SOAX | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Published, see above, dated 10 August 2026 | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Their terms page answers this | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Lower rates require one, see above | None |
| Identity checks | Read their current terms | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Read their current terms | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Treat the right-hand column as a claim by an interested party, because it is one. Every line in it is checkable on our own pages and in our own terms.
The test that beats this page
It is a small amount of money for an answer that is actually about your target.
- Fund both accounts with the least money each will accept, and note what that minimum was, because it is part of the comparison.
- Aim both at the page that matters to you rather than a test endpoint, and keep every other variable fixed.
- Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
- Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
- Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.
Where else buyers look
If this one does not fit, these are the nearest comparable providers we have written up, each on the same terms as this page.
- Atlaq alternatives
- Atshop alternatives
- AvenaCloud alternatives
- AWMProxy alternatives
- AYCD alternatives
- Babytattoo alternatives
Where we fit
For completeness: residential from $0.44 per GB, city and ISP targeting included, no monthly minimum, and a balance that stays where you left it. We are a good fit for uneven workloads and a poor one for anybody who wants a signed enterprise agreement.
