Quick pick

Soax fits if real-time failure rate and banned IP monitoring, UDP or QUIC protocol support, a mobile pool from real cellular carriers, or self-serve pricing are operational requirements.

NetNut fits if ISP-direct residential routing without peer-device dependency, CDN proxy access, or session stability from infrastructure rather than peer assignment are the architectural constraints.

If you choose NetNut

What you get that Soax doesn't offer

ISP-direct residential routing -- IPs that connect through ISP infrastructure rather than end-user devices. CDN proxy access as a separate product type. Session consistency on static ISP proxies that comes from infrastructure availability rather than peer churn. Full residential coverage without Soax's Texas exclusion.

What you give up

Soax's real-time observability dashboard -- failure rates, banned IP tracking, speed metrics. UDP and QUIC protocol support. A 33M mobile pool from real cellular carriers. Self-serve pricing -- NetNut typically requires sales engagement for rates. Soax's operational tooling for monitoring proxy performance during active campaigns.

Soax and NetNut both run large residential networks -- but the architecture and tooling differ. Soax routes residential through a peer-based network and adds operational visibility: a real-time dashboard for failure rates, banned IPs, and speed metrics, plus UDP and QUIC protocol support. NetNut routes residential through direct ISP partnerships rather than end-user devices, removing peer-dependency variability, and adds a CDN proxy type not commonly available among mainstream proxy providers.

If you choose Soax

What you get that NetNut doesn't offer

A real-time observability dashboard -- failure rates, banned IP tracking, speed metrics, custom reports, and alerts during proxy usage. UDP and QUIC protocol support alongside HTTP/S and SOCKS5. A 33M mobile pool from real 3G/4G/5G cellular carriers -- NetNut does not document the same mobile-pool depth. Self-serve pricing without sales engagement -- NetNut typically requires sales contact for rates.

What you give up

NetNut's ISP-direct routing -- residential IPs connect through ISP infrastructure rather than end-user devices, removing the peer availability dependency that Soax's peer network carries. A CDN proxy type not commonly available among mainstream proxy providers. Session stability on static ISP proxies that comes from infrastructure rather than peer assignment. Full residential coverage without Soax's Texas exclusion.
