Bright Data

pay per successful record, everything bundled, concurrency uncapped

$1.50 / 1,000 records pay-as-you-go#production-scraping-at-v

the most complete bundle in the category with a genuine pay-only-for-success guarantee and no concurrency ceiling — sold through a pricing surface that hides its own plan prices behind a slider.

Bright Data bills per successfully delivered record and folds everything into that number: javascript rendering, automated proxy management, residential ips and captcha solving are all listed as included in the price rather than billed as multipliers. at $1.50 per thousand records with no monthly minimum, and $1.30 at scale, it is mid-pack on headline cost and near the top on what that cost actually covers.

the failure position is stated bluntly and it is the strongest here: pay only for what is successfully delivered, no charges for failed deliveries. against a well-defended target that clause is worth more than the difference between the top four vendors' per-thousand rates.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

the most complete bundle in the category with a genuine pay-only-for-success guarantee and no concurrency ceiling — sold through a pricing surface that hides its own plan prices behind a slider.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
