SOAX alternative

A simpler, cheaper
SOAX alternative

SOAX pitches flexible geo-targeting and clean pools, and it does offer pay-as-you-go on a free Sandbox plan. The catch is what the meter costs and how long your money lasts: per-GB rates are tiered by country ($5/GB Tier-1, $3.75 Tier-2, $2.00 Tier-3), the credits you buy expire after 60 days, and there is no free trial. Roam keeps geo-targeting across 190+ countries at one flat $2/GB, with no plan and a balance that never expires.

Quick verdict: Roam gives you rotating residential proxies at a flat $2/GB pay-as-you-go with no subscription and a balance that never expires — plus datacenter ($0.80/GB), mobile 4G/5G ($9/GB) and static residential IPs ($4/IP/mo) on the same wallet.

Why people switch to Roam

Your balance does not expire

SOAX credits expire 60 days after you buy them, so unused traffic is money you lose. Top up $10 with Roam if that is what you need, and it stays there until you spend it.

One price for every country

SOAX charges different per-GB rates by geo tier. On Roam, a US exit and an emerging-market exit cost the same $2/GB.

Datacenter and static IPs in the same wallet

SOAX sells residential, mobile and scraping services — it has no datacenter or static-ISP product at all. Roam puts rotating datacenter at $0.80/GB and dedicated static residential at $4/IP/month on the same balance.

When SOAX still makes sense

SOAX's granular ASN/city targeting and unified resi+mobile allowance can suit agencies with steady monthly volume in premium geos. If your usage is spiky, multi-country, or budget-sensitive, Roam's flat wallet model wins on both cost and simplicity.

FAQ

What's the main difference between Roam and SOAX pricing?

SOAX does have pay-as-you-go, on its free Sandbox plan, but the per-GB rate is tiered by country: $5/GB Tier-1, $3.75 Tier-2, $2.00 Tier-3 (September 2026). Credits you buy expire 60 days after purchase. Roam is pure pay-as-you-go at $2/GB for every country, with no monthly plan and a balance that never expires.

Does Roam support city or state targeting like SOAX?

Roam supports country-level targeting across 190+ regions, with state/city selection available in the proxy generator for supported locations.

Is there a Roam free trial?

Yes — 300MB free, no card required. SOAX answers the same question with a flat no: its own FAQ states there is no free trial. Enough to test your targets before topping up.
