Prices and policies checked October 9, 2026 [Claim the free trial](https://app.serpproxies.com/sign-up?product=residential) [See the comparison](#comparison) The short answer SOAX publishes its whole rate card, covers residential and mobile with one credit balance and gets very cheap at enterprise volume in its lower-cost countries ($0.25–0.35/GB in tier 3). For US traffic it costs $5/GB pay as you go or $3/GB on a $200/mo plan, with credits that expire after 60 days and KYC before any purchase; SerpProxies is $1.15/GB at 10 GB and $0.65/GB at 1 TB, cheaper at every volume up to 20 TB on US residential, with no expiry and a free trial. Head to head, row by row 11 SerpProxies wins 2 Ties 2 SOAX wins Counted from the comparison table below. Rows where the two can't be ranked (different billing models, a product only one of them sells) are shown but not counted.

[\[2\]](#source-2) - Traffic is counted in both directions, including retries and interrupted connections, and prices exclude VAT. [\[2\]](#source-2) Which one fits ## An honest verdict ### Choose SOAX if… - Most of your traffic exits in SOAX's tier 3 countries at enterprise volume, where its published rate falls to $0.25–0.35/GB. - You want residential and mobile traffic billed at one rate from one shared credit balance. - You want a managed scraping service where SOAX builds and runs the data pipeline for you. - You need a published 99.9% uptime SLA or a dedicated customer success manager on an Enterprise plan. ### Choose SerpProxies if… - You buy US residential traffic: we're $1.15/GB at 10 GB against SOAX's $5/GB Sandbox rate, and $0.65/GB at 1 TB against $1.50 on its $1,500/mo Scale plan. - You don't want traffic to expire: our balance never does, where SOAX credits expire 60 days after purchase. - You need ASN targeting without a $1,500/mo plan — country, state, city and ASN are included in our per-GB rate. - You need static ISP, datacenter, IPv6 or unlimited-bandwidth proxies, which SOAX no longer sells. - You want to start without identity checks: we verify only when a risk check asks, while SOAX requires KYC before any purchase. - You want a free trial and refunds on request rather than generally non-refundable payments. Switching ## Moving from SOAX takes an afternoon 1. 1 ### Test on your own targets Create an account and use the free residential traffic on the sites you actually scrape or run — no card needed. 2. 2 ### Swap the gateway Replace host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most code doesn't change. 3. 3 ### Move volume over Top up a balance that never expires and shift traffic job by job. The per-GB rate drops automatically as your volume grows. Switch in an afternoon ## Same gateway format. No monthly plan. Credit that never expires. Swap host, port and credentials, keep your targeting in the username, and move volume over job by job.

SOAX charges $5/GB on its pay-as-you-go Sandbox plan, $3/GB on Builder ($200/mo) and $1.50/GB on Scale ($1,500/mo) for US exit IPs, as of October 2026. SerpProxies is $1.15/GB at 10 GB and $0.65/GB at 1 TB with no plan. SOAX is cheaper in its tier 3 countries at Enterprise volume, where rates go down to $0.25/GB. SOAX's pricing FAQ says it has no free trial and points to the free Sandbox plan, which includes no credits. Its residential proxy page still advertises a three-day, 400 MB trial for $1.99; we couldn't confirm that it can still be bought. SerpProxies gives free residential traffic with no card required. Yes. Credits added on Sandbox or a monthly plan expire 60 days after they are added; credits on an annual plan last 12 months. SerpProxies balances never expire. Yes. Its KYC/KYB policy requires identity or business verification before any purchase or paid service activation, and crypto payment is only available after KYC. SerpProxies asks for verification only when a risk check calls for it. Generally not: plan fees, top-up credits and overage are non-refundable, with exceptions at SOAX's discretion or where consumer law requires, and unused plan time isn't refunded on cancellation. SerpProxies refunds on request under its satisfaction guarantee. Not on its current site: SOAX lists only residential and mobile proxies, and its ISP and datacenter product pages return 404 (checked October 2026). SerpProxies sells static ISP, datacenter, IPv6 and unlimited proxies alongside residential and mobile. Create an account, claim the free trial and swap the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most scrapers need only a config change. Use up any SOAX credits first, since they expire 60 days after purchase.
