Flat Software Pricing
SOAX plans scale with monthly bandwidth packages (e.g. $200 for Builder tier, $500 for Team tier). XProxy offers a flat software license model, letting you run high-volume crawling pipelines without worrying about data overage charges.
Local Data Sovereignty
Renting cloud proxy pipelines routes your data requests through third-party servers. XProxy keeps your scraper traffic 100% local, routing it directly through your physical SIM connections for maximum data security.
Zero Relay Overhead
Hosted proxy pools introduce latency as requests bounce through their cloud networks. XProxy operates directly on your local servers, connecting straight to the cellular network via USB modems or Android phones.
Local SMS Inbox
SOAX cloud proxies do not support receiving incoming SMS verification messages. Because XProxy connects to your physical SIM cards, you can view and manage verification SMS codes directly from the XProxy interface.

Understanding the Pricing Models
SOAX operates on a metered subscription model where you purchase monthly bandwidth packages (e.g. starting around $3.00/GB, reducing to $0.85/GB for enterprise scale). XProxy offers a flat-rate software license model. Paired with your own locally deployed LTE/5G SIM carrier plans, this enables data-heavy workflows without recurring data usage fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from SOAX metered accounts to self-owned XProxy mobile farms.
Can I build a private mobile proxy farm with XProxy globally?
Yes, XProxy software can be installed on any Ubuntu server machine globally. You will need to plug in compatible USB LTE/5G modems with local SIM cards from your local mobile carriers to create the proxy connections.
How does IP rotation work in XProxy compared to SOAX?
SOAX rotates IPs within their network pool. XProxy initiates rotation by telling your physical USB modem or Android phone to reconnect to the cell tower, which triggers the mobile carrier to assign a fresh CGNAT IP to your connection.
