SOAX
Our pick

SOAX (Residential & Mobile, $6.60/GB) and Proxy-Cheap (Residential & Datacenter, $4.99/GB) both target serious proxy users, but they win on different axes. Proxy-Cheap is cheaper ($4.99/GB vs $6.60/GB) — roughly 1× the gap.

SOAX distinguishes itself with strong mobile proxy infrastructure useful for mobile app testing. Their pool tops out at 15M IPs and at $6.60/GB the value proposition is weak for most use cases.

At $4.99/GB they still charge 7x more than Cheapest-Proxies while offering a dramatically smaller pool and fewer countries.
