Quick pick
For this pairing, the practical differences are concrete. Soax fits if real-time observability and a mobile pool from real carriers matter more than Rayobyte's datacenter subnet scale and ASN residential targeting.
For this pairing, the practical differences are concrete. Rayobyte fits if a large C-class datacenter subnet network with automatic replacement, ASN targeting on residential, non-expiring PAYG credits, or a Web Scraping API are the priorities.
For this pairing, the practical differences are concrete. Rayobyte is built around datacenter scale: a 20,000+ C-class subnet network with automatic IP replacement, ASN targeting on residential, non-expiring PAYG credits, and a Web Scraping API. Soax and Rayobyte serve different parts of the scraping stack. Soax is built around operational visibility on a large residential and mobile network: a real-time dashboard for failure rates, banned IPs, and speed metrics, plus UDP and QUIC protocol support.
Choosing Soax
Advantages not matched by Rayobyte
For this pairing, the practical differences are concrete. A 155M+ residential pool. 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. ISP-level targeting on residential -- Rayobyte documents ASN on residential but not ISP.
Trade-offs to account for
For this pairing, the practical differences are concrete. Non-expiring PAYG credits -- purchased bandwidth does not expire, unlike Soax's subscription model. A Web Scraping API with free monthly scrapes. IPv6 datacenter proxies. Full residential coverage -- Soax excludes Texas. Rayobyte's 20,000+ C-class datacenter subnet network with automatic 30-day IP replacement cycles. ASN targeting on residential proxies -- Soax documents ISP-level targeting but not ASN.
