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.
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.
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. 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.
If you choose Soax
What you get that Rayobyte 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. ISP-level targeting on residential -- Rayobyte documents ASN on residential but not ISP. A 155M+ residential pool.
What you give up
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. 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.
