Bright Data proxy pricing

Unused bandwidth

Expires after 30 days

These come from the provider's own documentation, FAQ or terms rather than its pricing page. They are the fields that decide what a plan really costs, which is why we collect them.

8 plans have no public price and are quoted on request. These stay listed rather than dropped, because a comparison that hides the awkward rows is not a comparison.

• residential: $499 here against a market median of $187.50. 22 of 24 other providers we can price come in cheaper at the same requirement.
• datacenter: $14 here against a market median of $14.20. 3 of 6 other providers we can price come in cheaper at the same requirement.
• ISP and static residential: $18 here against a market median of $22.90. 3 of 7 other providers we can price come in cheaper at the same requirement.

Bright Data sells 4 of the four proxy types we track. We hold 30 of its plans, 22 with a public price.

What it publishes, against what the market publishes

• Publishes a minimum checkout price, as do 41 of 47 providers.
• Publishes whether unused bandwidth expires, as do 30 of 47 providers.
• Does not publish a concurrent session limit. 25 of 47 providers do, so this is a gap rather than a market norm.
• Publishes how bandwidth pools, as do 18 of 47 providers.
• Does not publish a maximum sticky session length. 23 of 47 providers do, so this is a gap rather than a market norm.

Terms Bright Data publishes away from its pricing page

• Bright Data's unlimited datacenter and ISP zones include 100 GB of monthly fair use per proxy IP. Usage beyond 100 GB per IP is no longer covered by the unlimited per-IP price. source
• Bright Data keeps an unlimited zone running after its fair-use allowance and bills excess data at the current pay-as-you-go rate. Crossing the allowance creates an uncapped variable overage instead of stopping service at the prepaid amount. source
• Bright Data does not reverse a fair-use overcharge after it has been applied. Buying more proxy IPs after the threshold is crossed does not retroactively remove the excess-data charge. source
• Residential and Mobile network access requires a compliance process before use, potentially including a video call and identity or company checks. A paid plan may not be usable until verification succeeds, so buyers should not treat signup as immediate usable access. source

The cheapest plans we can price for the same proxy types, at 50 GB a month for traffic-metered types and 10 IPs for per-IP types. Ranked by what you would pay, nothing else.

• Webshare $0 for datacenter, Free Proxy Server
• Decodo $3.50 for datacenter, Datacenter 100 IPs
• Decodo $4.70 for ISP and static residential, ISP 10 IPs
• Evomi $10 for ISP and static residential, Static Residential / ISP Shared IPs
