SIDE BY SIDE
WHY CHOOSE US
SOAX positions itself as the value option in the shared pool market with competitive per-GB rates and a growing feature set. But the per-GB model has an inherent problem: the more value you extract from your proxies, the more they cost. Heavy usage -- the kind that drives real business results -- gets penalized with higher bills. Combined with a detection rate that SOAX itself acknowledges is not zero, here is why Proxy Poland's flat-rate dedicated hardware solves both the cost and quality problems simultaneously.
OWN HARDWARE
We operate real physical 4G modems in Warsaw. No reselling, no shared pools. Each modem is a dedicated device with a real Polish SIM card on a live carrier network.
REAL 4G/5G CONNECTION
Every proxy runs on a genuine LTE 4G/5G connection. Platforms see real mobile traffic from Polish carriers -- identical to a regular smartphone user. 0% detection guaranteed.
$2/DAY FLAT RATE
No per-GB billing, no bandwidth caps, no surprise charges. Pay a flat daily rate and use as much data as you need. Scrape terabytes, stream video, run automation -- all included.
FREE TRIAL, NO CARD
Test our proxies for 1 hour completely free. No credit card, no business verification, no commitments. Sign up, get your proxy credentials, and start testing in under 2 minutes.
WHAT SETS US APART
SOAX sources mobile IPs through SDK partnerships embedded in third-party apps -- real users' phones serve as exit nodes. Your traffic routes through someone else's mobile device. Proxy Poland operates its own physical 4G modems with dedicated SIM cards. Nobody else's device is involved in your connection. This eliminates dependency on third-party device availability and uptime.
SOAX charges $6.60/GB for mobile proxies, with volume discounts available at enterprise scale. At moderate usage of 5 GB/day, that costs $33/day or $990/month per proxy. Proxy Poland charges $2/day flat with truly unlimited bandwidth. The more data you consume, the wider the cost gap becomes. At 20 GB/day, SOAX costs $132/day versus $2/day.
SOAX supports HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols. Proxy Poland adds OpenVPN and Xray, allowing full operating system tunneling through the mobile proxy. This matters for tasks like mobile app testing, browser fingerprint management, and use cases where individual application proxy configuration is impractical or impossible.
SOAX offers a $1.99 paid trial with limited bandwidth for 3 days. Proxy Poland provides a completely free 1-hour trial with no payment, no credit card, and no bandwidth limits. You can test at full speed and full capacity without spending anything. If the free trial convinces you, SOAX's paid trial becomes an unnecessary expense.
HOW WE COMPARE TO SOAX
SOAX offers one of the more affordable per-GB rates in the mobile proxy market, starting at $6.60/GB. They have built a solid platform with good geographic coverage and a user-friendly dashboard. For light usage, SOAX can be a reasonable choice.
However, the per-GB model breaks down quickly for professional workloads. At $6.60/GB, pulling 10 GB/day costs $66/day. With Proxy Poland at $2/day unlimited, you save $64/day -- that is $1,920/month on a single proxy. Multiply that across multiple proxies and the savings are substantial.
Beyond pricing, the quality difference matters. SOAX acknowledges a low-medium detection rate. Proxy Poland achieves 0%. For social media management, account creation, or any task where getting flagged means losing accounts, the detection rate difference between shared pools and dedicated hardware is everything.
SOAX's network is built on a hybrid model combining ethically-sourced residential and mobile IPs from opt-in SDK partners with traditional pool aggregation. While they emphasize their whitelisted IP sourcing, the end result is still a shared pool -- your mobile IP comes from someone else's device through an SDK, passes through SOAX's proxy gateway, and reaches the target site. The IP has been used by other SOAX customers before and will be again after your session. Proxy Poland assigns you a physical modem with a carrier SIM that generates IPs exclusively for your connection -- no SDKs, no shared devices, no third-party phones.
SOAX performs well for general web scraping and data collection tasks where occasional detection is acceptable -- their 99.55% success rate is competitive for bulk operations. But for high-stakes tasks where even a single detection event matters -- managing social media accounts worth thousands in followers, running bots on platforms with permanent ban policies, or conducting competitive intelligence on sites that blacklist detected IPs -- SOAX's low-medium detection rate introduces unacceptable risk. Proxy Poland's 0% detection rate exists because carrier-assigned mobile IPs on dedicated hardware are indistinguishable from regular smartphone traffic.
SOAX's $1.99 trial gives you 3 days with limited bandwidth, enough for basic testing. But consider the ongoing costs: an agency running 15 proxies at 8 GB/day each through SOAX pays $792/day ($23,760/month) at $6.60/GB. The same setup on Proxy Poland costs $30/day ($900/month) -- 96% less. Even at SOAX's enterprise rate of $0.32/GB (which requires massive volume commitments), 120 GB/day still costs $38.40/day versus $30/day with Proxy Poland, and you get dedicated hardware instead of shared pools.
WHEN SOAX IS THE BETTER CHOICE
SOAX's AI-powered web scraping tools and CAPTCHA bypass system are genuinely useful for teams that need more than raw proxy access. Their platform includes structured data extraction, intelligent retry logic, and automated anti-detection measures. If you want a turnkey scraping solution rather than configuring your own stack, SOAX's integrated tooling adds real value beyond what a standalone proxy provider offers.
With 191 million IPs across 195+ countries, SOAX provides mobile and residential coverage in virtually every market globally. If your workflow demands mobile IPs in Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa simultaneously, SOAX's geographic breadth is a genuine advantage. Proxy Poland offers Polish mobile IPs exclusively, so global geo-targeting campaigns are outside our scope.
SOAX is the better fit for global operations needing broad geographic coverage with integrated scraping tools, where occasional detection events are an acceptable tradeoff for scale. Proxy Poland is the better fit for users who need undetectable Polish mobile IPs with dedicated hardware, unlimited bandwidth, and predictable flat-rate costs. If zero detection and cost efficiency matter more than global coverage, we are the stronger choice.
HOW TO SWITCH FROM SOAX
Create a free Proxy Poland account -- no credit card required, unlike SOAX's $1.99 trial. Activate the 1-hour trial and receive your dedicated proxy credentials instantly. Test against the same websites and platforms you currently access through SOAX. Focus your testing on any sites where SOAX was triggering CAPTCHAs or blocks, since those are the targets where dedicated hardware makes the biggest difference.
Update your proxy settings from SOAX's gateway format (proxy.soax.com:port with username-based geo-targeting) to Proxy Poland's direct host:port:user:pass credentials. If you use SOAX's Web Scraper API, you will need to handle HTTP requests through your own scraping tools since Proxy Poland provides raw proxy access. For most users running their own scripts with Scrapy, Requests, or Selenium, the migration is a single line proxy URL change.
Run a controlled comparison over 24-48 hours by splitting your traffic between SOAX and Proxy Poland. Track three metrics: success rate per target site, average response time, and detection/block rate. For social media accounts, test with low-risk profiles first. After confirming Proxy Poland's performance, migrate fully and let your SOAX subscription lapse. Your SOAX bandwidth credit does not expire, so you can use remaining balance for occasional non-critical tasks during the transition.
FAQ
Is Proxy Poland a good alternative to SOAX?+
Yes. While SOAX offers competitive per-GB pricing (from $6.60/GB), Proxy Poland's flat $2/day unlimited model is better for medium to heavy usage. Plus, you get a dedicated physical modem instead of a shared IP pool, which means 0% detection vs SOAX's low-medium rates.
How do SOAX and Proxy Poland detection rates compare?+
Proxy Poland achieves 0% detection because each customer gets a dedicated physical 4G modem. SOAX uses shared pools with low-medium detection rates. For platforms with strict anti-proxy measures (social media, ticketing, banking), the difference is significant.
Does SOAX charge for bandwidth like a metered service?+
Yes. SOAX charges per GB of data transferred. Proxy Poland offers unlimited bandwidth on all plans. For data-heavy operations like video scraping, large-scale crawling, or media downloading, the cost difference can be enormous.
Is Proxy Poland's trial better than SOAX's $1.99 trial?+
Proxy Poland's trial is completely free -- no credit card, no payment, no commitments. SOAX charges $1.99 for a 3-day trial with limited traffic. You can test Proxy Poland's full capabilities without spending anything.
Can Proxy Poland replace SOAX for social media automation?+
Absolutely. Proxy Poland's dedicated 4G IPs are ideal for social media management. Each proxy is a real mobile device on a Polish carrier network -- platforms see genuine mobile traffic. SOAX's shared pools carry higher risk of IP contamination from other users.
Can I keep using SOAX's scraping tools alongside Proxy Poland?+
SOAX's Web Scraper API and proxy service are separate products. You cannot route SOAX's scraping tools through Proxy Poland's proxies. However, you can use open-source alternatives (Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer) with Proxy Poland's proxies and achieve better results thanks to dedicated IPs and unlimited bandwidth.
Is Proxy Poland suitable for ticket purchasing and sneaker bots like SOAX?+
Proxy Poland's dedicated 4G modems are actually better suited for high-stakes purchasing than SOAX's shared pools. Ticketing and sneaker platforms aggressively block known proxy IPs. A dedicated mobile IP from a real carrier SIM is indistinguishable from a regular customer's phone connection, giving you the best possible success rate.
How does SOAX's $1.99 trial compare to Proxy Poland's free trial in practice?+
SOAX's $1.99 gives you 3 days but with limited bandwidth -- enough for light testing but not for stress-testing under real workloads. Proxy Poland's free 1-hour trial has no bandwidth limits, so you can push the proxy hard with real traffic volumes. One hour of full-speed testing reveals more about proxy quality than 3 days of bandwidth-restricted access.
