Soax and Infatica both serve mid-market scraping teams without major compliance certifications — Soax has ISO 27001 and SOC 2 in progress, Infatica references industry credentials without naming them. The operational priorities diverge: Soax concentrates on what you can see during proxy operations, Infatica on what you can configure without writing code.

Soax exposes failure rates, banned IPs, and speed metrics in real time through a dashboard, supports UDP and QUIC alongside HTTP/S and SOCKS5, and operates a mobile pool provider-reported at 33M IPs. Infatica documents ASN targeting on residential proxies — which Soax does not — and exposes rotation period, geolocation settings, and authentication method as dashboard controls configurable without code changes.

Teams choosing between them are choosing between operational visibility into what the network is doing, or ASN residential targeting with configuration control over how the network behaves.

Soax suits teams that need real-time failure rate and banned IP monitoring, UDP or QUIC protocol support, or a 33M+ mobile pool from real cellular carriers. The limitations: certifications in progress but not yet obtained, ASN targeting not documented, Texas excluded, and session TTL not published.

Infatica suits teams that need ASN targeting on residential proxies alongside dashboard-native rotation control — rotation period, geo settings, and auth method configurable without code changes. Timed rotation at 5-to-60-minute intervals available. KYC only at first purchase. PAYG without subscription. The limitations: pool at 40M+, certifications not specifically named, max sticky TTL not published.

Soax's philosophy is that proxy network value includes operational visibility. Failure rate monitoring, banned IP tracking, and speed metrics in real time let teams diagnose detection events without guesswork. UDP and QUIC extend the network to workloads beyond standard proxy use cases. The mobile pool's scale addresses volume-intensive mobile scraping without a separate provider.

Infatica's philosophy is that proxy configuration should not require code changes between workloads. Dashboard-configurable rotation period, geolocation targeting, and authentication method reduce the technical barrier of adapting session behavior. ASN targeting on residential proxies extends routing precision to network-operator level. GeoDNS routes each request to the nearest gateway. KYC at first purchase via Veriff is a one-time requirement.

You gain operational observability and protocol breadth with Soax. You give up ASN residential targeting and dashboard rotation control. With Infatica, the trade runs in reverse — you gain ASN residential targeting and dashboard-native configuration, and the observability dashboard, UDP/QUIC support, and larger mobile pool become unavailable.

Soax's residential pool is provider-reported at 155M+ IPs across 195+ countries. Targeting covers country, region, city, and ISP level. ASN and ZIP targeting not documented. Texas explicitly excluded. Mobile pool provider-reported at 33M IPs from real cellular carriers across 3G/4G/5G/LTE. Protocol support includes HTTP/S, SOCKS5, UDP, and QUIC. Session TTL not published. Dedicated residential IPs not offered.

Infatica's pool is provider-reported at 40M+ proxies across 195+ countries. Residential proxies support country, region, city, ISP, ZIP, and ASN targeting — all documented. Mobile proxies support country, city, carrier, and ASN targeting. Three rotation modes: per-request, timed (5 to 60 minutes), and sticky via session ID. Max sticky TTL not published. Five proxy types: dynamic residential, mobile, ISP static, dedicated and shared datacenter.

Soax provides API access with multi-language support. Dashboard exposes real-time diagnostics: failure rates, banned IPs, speed metrics, custom reports, and alerts. IP whitelist authentication not documented. Sub-user management not confirmed. No PAYG — monthly subscription required.

Infatica authenticates via username and password and IP whitelist — whitelisted IPs take priority. Rotation period, geolocation targeting, and authentication method configurable in dashboard without code changes. GeoDNS routes to nearest gateway. KYC via Veriff required on first purchase only. Sub-user management not documented.

Soax offers four monthly subscription tiers with per-GB billing. Low-cost 3-day trial for nominal fee. No PAYG documented. No free tier.

Infatica bills residential per GB on PAYG and subscription tiers with 20% annual discount. Mobile billed per GB separately. ISP static and dedicated datacenter per IP per month. Paid 7-day trial available. PAYG requires no subscription commitment.

Real-time failure rate and banned IP dashboards, UDP or QUIC support, or a 33M+ mobile pool from real cellular carriers are priorities. Soax fits.

ASN targeting on residential proxies, dashboard-native rotation control without code changes, timed rotation intervals, or PAYG without subscription are priorities. Infatica fits.

You gain operational observability and protocol breadth with Soax. You give up ASN residential targeting and dashboard rotation control. With Infatica, the trade runs in reverse — you gain ASN residential targeting and dashboard configuration, and the observability dashboard, UDP/QUIC, and larger mobile pool become unavailable.

Neither holds independently named compliance certifications — teams with those requirements should look elsewhere in this set.

Ask whether your operations team needs to monitor failure rates and banned IPs in real time — or whether UDP or QUIC support is required for your workload. If yes, Soax's observability layer and protocol stack address those needs, and the subscription-only billing and pending certifications are the constraints.

Ask whether your residential workload requires ASN-level routing — by network operator — or whether adjusting rotation intervals without code changes matters operationally. If yes, Infatica's ASN targeting and dashboard control are the fit, and the smaller pool and absence of observability tools are the trade-offs.

If your requirement is network observability and protocol breadth — Soax. If your requirement is ASN residential targeting and dashboard rotation control — Infatica.
