SOAX

Residential and mobile traffic at one rate, priced by country tier

Overview

SOAX prices residential and mobile traffic identically, with the per-GB rate set by the buyer’s plan and by the geographic tier of the exit IP[11]. The United States and Germany are Tier 1, India Tier 2 and the Philippines Tier 3[11]. This makes SOAX unusually cheap for collecting data in emerging markets: on the Scale plan (US$1,500 per month), Tier 1 traffic costs US$1.50 per GB while Tier 3 costs US$0.60, and on Enterprise the starting rates are US$0.85, US$0.55 and US$0.35[11].

Smaller buyers can use Sandbox, which has no subscription fee and bills top-up credits at US$5, US$4 and US$2 per GB by tier, or Builder at US$200 per month with Tier 1 at US$3 per GB[11]. Enterprise customers can obtain dedicated IP pools[11]. SOAX offers no free trial and its pricing page does not state the size of the residential pool[11]. Because mobile traffic costs the same as residential, it is a straightforward way to escalate to mobile IPs on hard targets without a price jump.
