Decision rule
At both proxy types, Proxy-Cheap has the lower recorded cost at 5, 25, and 50 IPs. Bright Data has it at 10, 100, 500, and 1,000 IPs. Recheck the 10-IP datacenter result because the gap is $0.20, and normalize the ISP contract duration before acting on any recorded price difference. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
