The honest SOAX alternative
SOAX has thoughtful rotation controls, but their pricing model — counting ports, sub-users, and bandwidth separately — gets confusing fast. Rainproxy keeps the flexibility and bills you for one thing: gigabytes used.
Flexible rotation — without the per-port pricing maze.
Why teams leave SOAX
Run out of ports mid-scrape and your job dies. Our model has no port limit.
Their site has 6 plan dimensions. Ours has one slider: how much bandwidth?
SOAX bandwidth resets monthly. Ours rolls indefinitely.
Their LATAM and SEA coverage is thin. Ours has full coverage across 195+ countries.
