SOAX trades pool size for focus. Roughly 8.5M residential IPs is a fraction of KnoxProxy's 90.4M, but its mobile, ISP, and granular filtering products go deeper into carrier-level targeting than a general-purpose residential pool. KnoxProxy wins on scale and price; SOAX wins on precision for a narrower set of jobs.
For general-purpose scraping at volume, KnoxProxy's bigger pool, roughly half the per-GB price, and 2xx-only billing make it more cost-efficient. For mobile app testing, ad verification, or campaigns needing carrier-level filtering, SOAX's dedicated mobile/ISP products and real-time analytics dashboard are genuinely better tools for that job.
| KnoxProxy | SOAX | |
|---|---|---|
| Residential pool | 90.4M | ~8.5M |
| Residential price /GB | $2.10 PAYG (to $1.10) | ~$4.20 |
| Failed-request billing | Never billed (2xx-only) | Billed per connection |
| Dedicated mobile/ISP proxy lines | ||
| Geo-filtering granularity | Country, city, ASN on all plans | Country, city, ASN plus carrier and connection-type filters |
| Real-time traffic analytics | ||
| WiFi proxy product | ||
| Countries | 195 | Broad coverage (exact count not published) |
| Concurrency | Unlimited | Plan-based limits |
| Task | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume scraping where per-GB cost decides | KnoxProxy | $2.10/GB vs ~$4.20/GB is close to a 2x gap that compounds at volume |
| Maximum residential rotation depth | KnoxProxy | 90.4M IPs vs ~8.5M gives far more rotation headroom on the same target |
| Mobile carrier and ISP-specific targeting | SOAX | Purpose-built mobile and ISP proxy depth that a general residential pool is not optimized for |
| Campaigns needing sub-ASN filtering plus live visibility | SOAX | Granular carrier filtering and real-time analytics combine for tighter targeting control |
Provider marketing sells the biggest number on the page. Buyers should buy the smallest one that matters: cost per successful request on their own targets. List price, billing rules, success rate, and how much of the product your tier actually unlocks all feed it.
A rigged table is worthless to a buyer and obvious to a reviewer.
Pool size and pool quality are different axes. A large pool of recycled, previously flagged addresses can lose to a smaller, well-maintained one on your actual targets. Compare the numbers below, then verify with your own benchmark -- ask about IP hygiene, not headcount.
Score both finalists on all five, weight by what your program values, and the winner is usually obvious -- and defensible to whoever signs off.
The protocol is identical -- host, port, credentials. The migration isn't hard; the discipline is running both in parallel long enough to trust the numbers on your real workload.
SOAX splits offerings into Residential, Mobile, ISP, and WiFi packages with separate endpoints. Document which package each use case relies on -- KnoxProxy's general-purpose tiers will not have direct matches for mobile/ISP/WiFi.
Where SOAX allows carrier and connection-type filtering, KnoxProxy targets by country/city/ASN. Approximate carrier filters using the closest ASN match, then validate the traffic mix.
If your team relies on SOAX's real-time analytics dashboard, set up equivalent application-side monitoring (success/failure rates per request) before cutting over.
Depends on the job. At ~8.5M vs 90.4M, SOAX has less rotation depth for high-volume scraping. For mobile and ISP-specific targeting, SOAX's focused infrastructure often matters more than raw pool size.
SOAX prices around $4.20/GB vs KnoxProxy's $2.10/GB. The premium reflects investment in mobile, ISP, and granular filtering infrastructure rather than a general-purpose residential pool.
KnoxProxy's pool is residential and datacenter across 195 countries. If mobile carrier or ISP-specific proxies are the core requirement, SOAX's dedicated products are the better fit.
Mostly for ad verification, mobile app testing, and campaigns targeting specific carriers. General web scraping rarely needs that precision -- KnoxProxy's country/city/ASN targeting is enough.
SOAX splits offerings into Residential, Mobile, ISP, and WiFi packages with separate endpoints. Document which package each use case relies on -- KnoxProxy's general-purpose tiers will not have direct matches for mobile/ISP/WiFi. Most teams run both providers in parallel for about a week, comparing per-target success, before cutting over fully.
Nothing beyond the gateway host and credentials changes -- the proxy protocol is the same, so your existing scraping code, retry logic, and session handling keep working.
