SOAX Pricing 2026: Mobile, Residential & ISP Plans

By Elena Park · 2026-03-24 · 12 min read · Pricing

SOAX runs the deepest mobile pool in the industry. Here's what every plan costs in 2026 and which to pick.

SOAX pricing summary for 2026

SOAX's headline strength in 2026 is mobile proxy pricing and quality - 4G/5G carrier IPs from roughly $7.20/GB with granular carrier and city targeting, priced competitively against Bright Data and IPRoyal mobile plans. Residential proxies sit in the mid tier at roughly $2.60-3.50/GB depending on volume, and ISP/datacenter plans are available for lower-cost, higher-speed use cases. SOAX is not the cheapest provider overall, but it is one of the strongest specifically for mobile-targeted work.

Residential pricing tiers

SOAX residential proxies start around $3.50/GB at low volume and drop toward $2.60/GB or lower at the highest published tiers, which sits above IPRoyal and Webshare but below Bright Data and Oxylabs pay-as-you-go rates. SOAX's residential pool spans over 190 countries with city and ASN-level targeting, which is more granular geo-targeting than most budget competitors offer, and is part of why SOAX commands a premium over IPRoyal despite similar headline per-GB pricing.

SOAX also offers a flexible package system that lets you pool bandwidth across residential, mobile and ISP proxy types under a single subscription in some plans, which simplifies billing for teams running mixed workloads instead of managing three separate provider contracts.

Mobile (4G/5G) pricing - the headline product

SOAX mobile proxies price from roughly $7.20/GB, which sits mid-pack against Bright Data's mobile pricing and above IPRoyal's $6-8/GB mobile range, but SOAX differentiates on carrier-level and city-level targeting precision that few competitors match at this price point. For ad verification, mobile app testing and sneaker campaigns that specifically need real carrier IPs rather than residential Wi-Fi IPs, SOAX's mobile pool is one of the strongest available.

Mobile IP quality matters because carrier-grade NAT means thousands of real subscribers share the same IP, making mobile proxies extremely resistant to IP-based blocking - the tradeoff is the highest per-GB cost of any proxy type, generally $4-15/GB across the market.

• Residential: $2.60-3.50/GB depending on volume tier
• Mobile (4G/5G): from ~$7.20/GB, carrier and city targeting available
• ISP (static residential): per-IP pricing, faster than rotating residential
• Datacenter: lowest cost per IP, unsuitable for protected targets

ISP and datacenter plans

SOAX's ISP proxies combine datacenter-level speed with residential-network ASN registration, priced per IP rather than per GB, which suits use cases needing a stable IP over long sessions such as account management or ad verification in a fixed location. Datacenter proxies are the cheapest SOAX product on a per-IP basis but, as with every provider, will not get through Cloudflare or DataDome-protected sites reliably.

Why mobile is the pricing headline

SOAX built its reputation on mobile proxy quality before expanding into residential and ISP products, and its carrier relationships and targeting infrastructure remain more mature than most competitors' mobile offerings. That history is why SOAX's marketing and most favorable comparisons center on mobile use cases like ad verification and app testing rather than general-purpose scraping, where cheaper residential options from IPRoyal or Webshare do the job just as well at lower cost.

Cheaper alternatives for general scraping

If your workload is general-purpose web scraping rather than mobile-specific verification, IPRoyal and Webshare undercut SOAX's residential pricing by 30-40% at comparable volume, and Decodo sits close to SOAX in price with a slightly larger overall pool. SOAX earns its premium specifically on mobile targeting precision and country/city/ASN granularity - if you do not need that granularity, cheaper providers deliver similar results for standard residential scraping.

Cost example: mobile ad verification campaign

A mobile ad verification job checking 2,000 ad placements daily across 10 cities, each check consuming roughly 2MB of mobile data including page and creative loads, uses about 120GB/month. At SOAX's $7.20/GB mobile rate that is roughly $864/month - materially more than a residential-only approach, but necessary when creatives specifically render differently on carrier networks versus Wi-Fi, which is common in mobile-first ad fraud detection.

Common mistakes when pricing out SOAX

The most common mistake is buying mobile bandwidth for a workload that does not actually require carrier IPs - most e-commerce and SERP scraping performs identically on residential IPs at a third of the cost. The second mistake is underestimating bandwidth consumption for mobile ad verification, since loading full ad creatives and video assets can consume far more data per check than a simple HTML page fetch, quickly inflating monthly bills beyond initial estimates.

How we evaluated SOAX pricing

Figures reflect SOAX's published plans as of mid-2026, compared against the Proxy Benchmark Report Q3 2026 for relative positioning versus Bright Data, IPRoyal, Decodo and NetNut mobile and residential pricing. Actual mobile bandwidth consumption depends heavily on whether ad creatives, video or full page renders are involved.
