Top 5 SOAX Alternatives

Despite its position as a mid-tier proxy provider with a sleek dashboard and broad coverage, questions about SOAX’s opaque sourcing persist, as do concerns about its inconsistent performance under heavy load.

For users looking for ethically sourced, guaranteed 100% mobile IP addresses with faster response times and enterprise-grade scalability, Proxidize is a reliable SOAX alternative.

SOAX Pricing Compared

Let’s look at SOAX’s price structure. Notably, to start getting close to Proxidize’s flat rate of $1–2/GB range, you have to commit to 800GB or more with SOAX.

Package Size Price Effective $/GB
25 GB $90 $3.6/GB
50 GB $170 $3.4/GB
300 GB $740 $2.46/GB
800 GB $1,600 $2/GB

1. Proxidize

The concerns around SOAX’s opaque sourcing don’t exist with Proxidize, which has a 100% confirmed mobile IP pool (the only mobile proxy provider that can say that). As a SOAX alternative, Proxidize response times are faster and offer better prices at scale.

Proxidize mobile proxies offer full QUIC/UDP support and full API rotation controls, and from 100GB on, Proxidize becomes a much more cost-effective SOAX alternative, allowing users to scale at a flat $1–2 per GB per month. By contrast, SOAX requires a commitment of at least 800GB to start approaching Proxidize’s prices.

As a SOAX alternative, Proxidize is better suited to users and enterprises that rely on high volumes of mobile proxy data, while offering the flexibility of buying a single proxy at $59/month.

2. Decodo

Decodo (formerly SmartProxy) caters to the same customers that SOAX does, which makes it a natural SOAX alternative. Starting at smaller data packages and continuing to similarly sized ones, Decodo is reasonably positioned to directly compete with SOAX.

With similarly accessible dashboards, Decodo improves on SOAX with better rotation controls and fewer reported inconsistencies than SOAX. In testing conditions run by Proxyway, SOAX and Decodo performed similarly in success rates, with SOAX dipping with Google targets. In the same tests, SOAX’s response time when targeting Instagram was an outlying 9.6 ms.

3. NetNut

As an enterprise-oriented proxy provider, NetNut is a SOAX alternative that caters to higher volume users. With success rates comparable to SOAX, users have often cited better consistency from its infrastructure than SOAX, with fewer fluctuations based on location and time of day.

 

With that higher performance also comes at a higher price tag at $5–7/GB. While SOAX’s dashboard is sleek and beginner-friendly, NetNut’s dashboard offers more analytics insights.

Enterprise-leaning alternative with strong uptime (99%+) and analytics.

4. Bright Data

As a SOAX alternative, Bright Data only makes sense for enterprises interested in Bright Data’s enterprise-relevant features like audit logs and compliance tooling, as well as a dedicated account manager.

The price difference between SOAX and Bright Data also only makes sense in that context, with Bright Data costing around $5–8/GB for most users.

5. Infatica

As a SOAX alternative, Infatica’s overall average success rate was higher than SOAX by 9.63 percentage points. Though weaker than SOAX in infrastructure performance, Infatica showed greater success in specific popular targets like Instagram, Google, and Amazon.

In tests, Infatica showed the highest fidelity mobile IPs in its mobile proxy pool at 99.4%, compared to SOAX’s 97.85%. This increased success rate is tempered by Infatica’s higher prices, which start with an $8/GB for pay-as-you-go down to $4 when committing to 200 GB/month.
