A comparison of two mobile proxy approaches. Dedicated US devices versus a large rotating shared mobile pool with global coverage and granular targeting.
If you only have 30 seconds, this table covers the essentials. The full breakdown is below.
| Attribute | SentraCell |
SOAX |
|---|---|---|
| IP Type | Dedicated mobile, one device per client | Shared rotating mobile pool |
| Pricing Model | Flat rate, unlimited bandwidth | Subscription, per-GB metered |
| Starting Price | $15/day or $110/mo | $99/mo (15 GB) or ~$6.60/GB |
| Network Pool | Real US carrier devices, in-house managed | Rotating shared mobile pool (191M+ IPs, 195+ countries) |
| IP Quality | Consistently clean fraud scores from fresh, low-traffic devices | Rotating shared mobile pool. IPs reused across customers, reputation varies based on recent network activity. |
| Geographic Coverage | United States (Texas and California nodes) | 195+ countries, city, ISP, and ZIP-level targeting |
| Bandwidth | Unlimited | Metered, included in monthly plan |
| Setup Time | Under 10 minutes via Telegram | Self-serve signup, $1.99 trial available |
| Free Trial | 1 hour free trial, no credit card | $1.99 trial (400MB, 3 days) |
| Best For | Agencies, antidetect users, predictable costs | Global multi-region scraping, granular geo-targeting, ad verification |
SentraCell operates a different kind of mobile proxy infrastructure. Instead of a shared peer-to-peer network where IPs rotate across many customers, every SentraCell proxy is a real consumer Android phone assigned to one client. No modems. No multi-SIM gateways. No shared upstream carrier connections. Just a real phone, in a real location, running a real SIM.
When you sign up for SentraCell, a dedicated phone is provisioned for you in our Texas or California node. The device runs on a real US carrier SIM card from Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile. You receive credentials over Telegram, plug them into your antidetect browser or automation tool, and you are live in under ten minutes. No queue, no shared traffic, no other users on your device.
Our customer base is intentionally smaller than the major proxy providers. That is the model. Fewer customers means fresher IPs, less burned reputation history, and a wider effective IP pool relative to traffic volume. A real consumer phone cycling through carrier IPs naturally gives a wider ping range and more authentic mobile traffic patterns than a modem rack ever can.
Because every SentraCell device is a real consumer phone that has not been used by hundreds of clients before you, the IP quality score on our proxies is consistently strong. When operators run our IPs through fraud check tools like IPQualityScore or Scamalytics, they typically score in the clean-traffic range. That is the kind of score most large-scale shared pools cannot reliably deliver because their IPs have moved through too many customers. If your workflow involves account aging, ad operations, or anything where a fraud score check stands between your traffic and the platform you are working on, this matters.
Bandwidth is unlimited. There is no per-GB billing, no metered charges, no surprise overages at the end of the month. Whether you push 5 GB or 500 GB through your proxy, the price stays the same.
SentraCell supports SOCKS5 and HTTP protocols and integrates cleanly with GoLogin, Multilogin, AdsPower, Dolphin, and every other major antidetect browser. The same setup works for Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, and custom automation pipelines.
The infrastructure is managed entirely in-house. We own and operate the devices, the SIM cards, and the rotation mechanics. There are no third-party providers in the chain, which means no peer-to-peer instability, no surprise bans from network abuse you didn't cause, and no shared abuse history dragging down your IP reputation.
SOAX is a UK-based proxy provider with one of the largest networks in the industry. Their mobile proxy product is a rotating shared pool sourced from real 3G/4G/5G mobile carrier connections, with 191 million+ total IPs across residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter types.
SOAX mobile proxy pricing starts at around $99/month for 15 GB (roughly $6.60/GB) on the entry plan, with higher-tier plans bringing the per-GB rate down. Enterprise plans can reach as low as $0.32/GB at very high commitments. Pay-as-you-go for mobile is available at around $19.50/GB on some tiers.
SOAX is known for granular targeting. You can filter by country, region, city, ISP, ZIP code, ASN, and carrier across the network. Sessions can be rotating per request or sticky for up to 60 minutes on mobile. The platform supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5.
SOAX offers a $1.99 trial (400 MB over 3 days), real-time analytics, sub-user management, and a Scraping API for fully managed data extraction with JavaScript rendering and CAPTCHA solving.
For teams that need granular global geo-targeting on a large rotating pool, SOAX covers that territory well. For teams that specifically need a dedicated mobile device on a US carrier with flat-rate unlimited bandwidth and no shared IP reputation history, SOAX's rotating shared model is structurally different from SentraCell's.
SOAX uses subscription-based per-GB pricing. SentraCell uses flat-rate unlimited bandwidth.
A typical comparison: SentraCell at $110/month flat versus SOAX mobile at $99/month for 15 GB (about $6.60/GB on the entry plan).
At 17 GB of monthly usage, you exceed the SOAX entry plan and either pay overage or upgrade. SentraCell stays at $110 for unlimited.
At 50 GB of monthly usage, you need a higher SOAX tier. The 50 GB residential subscription runs around $299/month, and mobile typically prices higher than residential. SentraCell stays at $110.
At 200 GB, SOAX pricing scales into the enterprise tier ranges (custom pricing). SentraCell remains $110 flat.
SOAX is competitively priced for the rotating-pool segment, but per-GB pricing models are structurally different from flat-rate unlimited. For consistent agency or antidetect workflows that move meaningful bandwidth daily, flat-rate wins on predictable monthly cost.
SentraCell is the right choice if any of the following describes your operation:
