Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for SOAX yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated SOAX across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“moving toward mid-sized specialized providers (such as Decodo, Soax, or NodeMaven)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Proxy and web data · negative prompt · first choice

“The Best All-Rounders: Smartproxy & SOAX” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Proxy and web data · direct prompt · first choice

“SOAX: Predictable pricing, 155M+ IPs (strong mobile/residential). City/ZIP/ASN targeting, stable for business.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · alternative

“If your usage is highly variable or you need ultra-predictable costs, SOAX is the better choice.” Kimi K2 · Proxy and web data · direct prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

No model argued against it.

Named alongside

The products named in the same answers as SOAX, over the 58 answers that named it. Took the first choice instead counts the answers where the other product was the first choice and SOAX was named but was not.

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SOAX. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 57 of the 58 answers that named SOAX and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page soax.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as SOAX

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as SOAX; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when SOAX's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as SOAX, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for SOAX by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where SOAX is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name SOAX, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
