Proxy Rotator vs SOAX
SOAX and Proxy Rotator solve the same problem from different ends. Here is the pricing, the targeting and the setup time side by side, including where they are the better pick.

Where SOAX is the better choice
SOAX invests heavily in filtering its pool and in fine grained location targeting, down to city and carrier in many countries. If your work depends on that precision, or you have been blocked repeatedly on cheaper pools, that focus is worth paying for.
Where we are the better choice
SOAX built its reputation on pool hygiene and precise geo targeting, which is why it shows up in scraping stacks that get blocked a lot elsewhere.
If the deciding factor is cost per gigabyte at steady volume, the arithmetic favours us heavily. You get residential, datacenter, mobile and IPv6 on one gateway, country targeting, a rotating proxy API, and no conversation with a salesperson before your first request.
Migrating from Soax specifically
SOAX uses package specific endpoints with targeting encoded in the login string. Ours is one host with targeting set against your credentials, so the connection string simplifies considerably.
Check whether any jobs specify targeting below country level before you move, since those parameters have no equivalent here yet.
Both services speak standard HTTPS and SOCKS5, so the transport layer needs no changes. Authenticate by whitelisting your server IP or with a user and password. The setup guide covers the common tools.
