Quick pick
Choose SOAX when 155M+ residential IPs, 33M+ mobile IPs, UDP/QUIC support, ISP targeting, or configurable mobile sessions are the operational priorities.
Choose Decodo when ISO/IEC 27001:2022, EWDCI credentials, a three-day free trial, a 14-day money-back option, ZIP/ASN targeting, and a 10M+ mobile pool provide the better balance.
SOAX and Decodo both cover global residential proxy workloads, but the current products separate cleanly on protocol breadth, published pool size, and compliance posture. SOAX advertises 155M+ residential IPs and 33M+ mobile IPs across 195+ geographies and includes HTTP(S), SOCKS5, UDP, and QUIC. Decodo advertises 115M+ residential and 10M+ mobile IPs, supports HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, and backs the platform with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification plus EWDCI Certified status.
If you choose Soax
Where SOAX stands out
SOAX publishes the larger pools in this pair: 155M+ residential IPs and 33M+ mobile IPs. Residential routing includes region, city, ASN, and ISP selection; mobile routing includes region, city, and ASN. Every current proxy plan also includes HTTP(S), SOCKS5, UDP, and QUIC, unlimited proxy connections, sticky and rotating sessions, and 24/7 multi-channel support. Mobile sticky sessions can be kept for up to 60 minutes.
What Decodo makes easier to verify
Decodo publishes a more mature certification story today. Its proxies and Scraping API are ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, it is an EWDCI co-founder and certified member, and its residential page offers a three-day free trial plus a 14-day money-back option on eligible subscriptions. SOAX states that ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are still in progress, although it does publish a formal SLA and KYC/KYB policy.
If you choose Decodo
Where Decodo stands out
Decodo is attractive when procurement needs current, independently verifiable compliance credentials without giving up large proxy pools. Residential users get 115M+ IPs across 195+ locations with continent, country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN/ISP targeting, unlimited concurrent sessions, and 99.99% published uptime. Its mobile product adds 10M+ IPs from 700+ carriers across 160+ locations with city and ASN targeting.
Where SOAX offers more network and protocol breadth
SOAX publishes 155M+ residential and 33M+ mobile IPs and supports UDP and QUIC in addition to HTTP(S) and SOCKS5. It also exposes ISP targeting on residential and up-to-60-minute mobile sessions. Teams that need those protocol options or the larger published mobile footprint may value that more than Decodo's certification and refund advantages.
