PROXY PROVIDER COMPARISON
Bytefulvs SOAX
Byteful offers per-IP static ISP/datacenter products and data-metered rotating pools. SOAX's residential/mobile traffic draws from monthly shared credits at country-tier GB rates, with listed short-term rollover. Fixed-address duration and geography-specific credit burn are the two branches to price.

THREE ROUTES SIDE BY SIDE
What changes
for your workload
Compare the actual traffic commitment, session controls and cost of a usable response. If you already fetch and parse pages, run your existing HTTP client against the same permitted pages, country target and session policy on both residential gateways.
| Decision | Byteful | SOAX | ProxyLane |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example route for this job | BytefulResidential proxy gateway | SOAXResidential proxy gateway | ProxyLaneResidential proxy gateway for the HTTP client or browser you already run |
| Charging basis | Traffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port plan | Traffic allowance; confirm the selected GB or port plan | Prepaid GB that never expires |
| How you pay | Dedicated datacenter and static ISP products are priced per IP with subscription-cycle and quantity discounts and an unlimited-bandwidth claim subject to fair use. Residential and mobile pools are data-based; retrieve the live catalog for available products and prices. | The current pricing page shows a Sandbox with no included credits, then prepaid monthly credits on Builder, Team, Scale and Enterprise. Residential and mobile traffic draw from plan credits at a geo-tier rate; higher plans lower the rate. Monthly credits roll over for 60 days on listed paid plans; Enterprise annual terms differ. Postpaid overage requires approval and signed terms. | 350 MB trial for $1.95, then prepaid packages from $6.50/GB for 1 GB down to $2.50/GB for 1 TB. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Integration work | The documented API exposes proxy type filters, service/usage controls and a public checkout catalog; choose datacenter or ISP fixed IPs versus residential/mobile list endpoints, then configure the assigned proxy in a client. | Generate login:password@host:port proxy-list entries or use IP authorization; set a country, region, city or ISP target in the dashboard, then configure HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 on the browser or HTTP client. The help center documents API-based whitelist management. | HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 endpoints on three regional gateways: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Export proxy lists in 8 formats for scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers. |
| A small or irregular job | A per-IP fixed proxy makes sense when one address carries sustained traffic; use a data-metered residential/mobile plan when many rotating exits matter. | Compare the $200 Builder commitment and country-tier burn rate against actual destination geographies; the Sandbox listing shows no included credits. | Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Browser workflow | A static ISP lease offers a fixed browser exit; residential/mobile list products rotate and need session settings in the browser client. | Use a rotating or sticky SOAX endpoint in your browser client and account for page assets against the relevant country-tier GB rate. | Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile. |
| Connecting an agent | Use Byteful's catalog API and proxy-user controls for provisioning, then put the gateway in your MCP browser/fetch tool; its agent guide frames Byteful as raw network access. | Put the authenticated proxy in your own MCP tool; an agent needing a managed fetch should evaluate the separately listed Web Data API meter and account access. | Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser. |
| A growing production workload | Separate IP count and subscription term from residential/mobile data usage, then check live inventory and fair-use terms for the chosen geography. | Model geo-tier traffic and credit rollover, then move to Team/Scale only if their lower GB rates and targeting limits fit measured demand. | Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB. |
| Check before moving |

|
|
For a persistent browser exit, compare Byteful's assigned ISP or dedicated datacenter term with the exact SOAX sticky proxy behavior on the target. A SOAX sticky session is a control over traffic, not an assigned-IP lease. Byteful's unlimited-bandwidth claim still has fair-use conditions. Count the number of identities and the time each must persist; a country-level GB quote alone does not answer the fixed-address requirement.
For a crawler rotating among countries, use Byteful's current residential/mobile catalog option and SOAX's proxy-list settings for those same geographies. SOAX charges different country-tier rates from a monthly shared credit balance, and listed paid-plan credits roll over for 60 days. Byteful's rotating products are data-based and its catalog supplies available choices. Measure bytes per destination country and idle weeks, then compare the chosen Byteful purchase with SOAX's monthly commitment. The free SOAX Sandbox has no included traffic credits.
