“Reliability is the product at our volume”

Used daily for 1–2 years

We collect about two million pages a month and the business depends on it arriving. Bright Data is the only provider we have used where a bad week did not mean explaining a data gap to stakeholders. The per-gigabyte price stops mattering once you have had that conversation.

Pros

Consistency at volume. The scraper API removed a maintenance burden entirely.

Cons

Pricing takes genuine effort to model across products.

Problems it solves

Made large-scale collection something we no longer worry about.

“Cheapest per successful request, dearest per GB”

Used daily for 2+ years

We moved to a cheaper provider to save money and our success rate on the hardest target fell from 97% to 61%. Once we counted retries and wasted bandwidth we were spending more, and my engineers were babysitting it. Came back within six weeks.

Pros

Success rate on defended targets is genuinely different. Scraper API removed our unblocking code entirely.

Cons

Per-GB price is eye-watering until you do the real arithmetic.

Problems it solves

Stopped maintaining unblocking logic that broke every few weeks.

“Overkill for our modest scraping”

Used weekly for 6–12 months

We pull a few thousand pages a day from sites with no real protection. Datacentre proxies from a budget provider do it for a fraction of the cost. Bright Data is built for a problem we do not have.

Pros

Clearly excellent at scale.

Cons

Complex and expensive for simple, undefended collection.
