Quick pick
Soax fits if real-time failure rate and banned IP monitoring, UDP or QUIC protocol support, or a mobile pool from real cellular carriers are operational requirements.
Infatica fits if ASN or ISP targeting on residential, a 99.9% uptime SLA, explicit GDPR documentation, or accessible per-GB pricing are the priorities.
Soax and Infatica both run large residential and mobile networks -- but the product orientation differs. Soax is built around operational visibility: a real-time dashboard for failure rates, banned IPs, and speed metrics, plus UDP and QUIC protocol support. Infatica is built around targeting precision and contractual coverage: ASN and ISP targeting on residential, a 99.9% uptime SLA, and explicit GDPR documentation.
If you choose Soax
What you get that Infatica doesn't offer
The real-time observability dashboard is the reason to pick Soax specifically for jobs where you need to watch what's happening while a campaign runs, not just get a report afterward -- failure rates, banned IP tracking, and speed metrics surfaced live let you catch a proxy pool degrading mid-run and react, which matters for anything long-running or high-volume. UDP and QUIC support alongside HTTP/S and SOCKS5 (Infatica documents HTTP/S and SOCKS5 only) is the protocol-level reason to choose Soax if the workload specifically needs those transports -- most scraping doesn't, but some real-time or streaming-adjacent use cases do.
What you give up
Infatica documents ASN-level targeting on residential where Soax stops at ISP-level -- so if the job needs to pin traffic to a specific autonomous system rather than just an ISP, Infatica is the more precise instrument here, not just an alternative. Infatica's 99.9% uptime SLA is contractual; Soax's ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications are listed as in progress, so for a workflow where you need an SLA to point to (a client contract, an internal SLA pass-through), that gap is the one that decides it, not the dashboard. Texas is also excluded from Soax's residential network, which rules it out outright for any geo-specific job that needs that state.
If you choose Infatica
What you get that Soax doesn't offer
ASN and ISP targeting on residential proxies gives Infatica finer-grained geo/network control than Soax's ISP-only targeting -- relevant specifically when a job needs to reach or exclude a particular network operator, not just a region. The 99.9% uptime SLA and explicit GDPR compliance documentation are the pieces that matter when the proxy vendor needs to be defensible on paper -- to a client, an auditor, or a data-processing agreement -- rather than just functional. Accessible per-GB pricing without subscription commitment also removes the billing-lock-in question that comes with Soax's subscription model, useful for variable or exploratory workloads.
What you give up
SOAX explicitly documents a real-time dashboard with speed, failure-rate, and banned-IP metrics, giving operations teams a live feedback loop for long-running jobs. It also advertises UDP/QUIC support and a 155M+ residential pool. Infatica's current public pages use 40M+ and 45M+ network headlines depending on page scope, so those totals are better treated as provider-published figures with different definitions than as a clean size comparison.
