Bright Data vs Proxy-Seller
Proxy Compare priced Bright Data against Proxy-Seller on residential proxies: Bright Data $2.50/GB (on offer), read 3 Oct 2026, against Proxy-Seller $2.20/GB, read 7 Sept 2026, across 10 residential plans. Both figures are Bright Data’s and Proxy-Seller’s own published rates for the same product.
The short answer
The distance here is the entry price, not the per-gigabyte rate. Bright Data's cheapest way in is $499 a month and it wants identity documents first; Proxy-Seller starts at $9 for 3 GB on an email address, and takes Alipay and crypto alongside cards. The other difference is one this site treats as a column rather than a footnote: Bright Data publishes an SDK opt-in sourcing model for its addresses, and Proxy-Seller does not say where its addresses come from at all. Proxy-Seller also sells datacenter by the address and mobile as a flat unlimited line, neither of which converts to a per-gigabyte figure.
