Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bright Data better than NetNut?
Bright Data and NetNut are both quality enterprise proxy providers with different strengths. Bright Data offers: 150M+ residential IPs (76% larger than NetNut's 85M), 1.3M+ static ISP IPs (30% larger than NetNut's 1M), 120+ pre-built scraper APIs, browser-based Web IDE, comprehensive dataset marketplace, 99.99% uptime SLA (vs 99.9%), and more certifications (SOC2, ISO, CSA STAR).
NetNut excels at: patented one-hop ISP connectivity (faster than peer-to-peer), G2's #1 Web Data Provider (2025), competitive pricing ($1.59-3.53/GB residential), B2B IP sourcing (compliance advantages), dedicated account managers, and strong mid-market focus. Choose Bright Data for: larger network, enterprise APIs, Web IDE, highest uptime. Choose NetNut for: one-hop speed, competitive pricing, B2B sourcing.
How do the proxy networks compare in size?
Bright Data operates the world's largest proxy network: 150M+ residential IPs (76% larger than NetNut), 1.3M+ ISP IPs (30% larger), 1.3M+ datacenter IPs, and 7M+ mobile IPs (40% larger than NetNut's 5M) across 195 countries.
NetNut offers 85M+ rotating residential IPs, 1M+ static residential (ISP) IPs, 5M+ mobile IPs, and 150K+ datacenter IPs across 195 countries with patented one-hop connectivity. Both serve 195 countries, but Bright Data's network is significantly larger across all proxy types: 76% more residential, 30% more ISP, and 40% more mobile IPs. For maximum availability and coverage, Bright Data's larger infrastructure provides more options.
What's unique about NetNut's one-hop technology?
NetNut's patented one-hop ISP connectivity is their key differentiator. Unlike traditional residential proxies that route through end-user devices (creating bottlenecks), NetNut connects directly through ISP networks without device dependency. This provides: faster speeds (no device bottleneck), better stability (no disconnections from user devices), and higher reliability (NetNut controls infrastructure).
Bright Data uses traditional residential proxy architecture with end-user devices but compensates with: 76% larger network (150M vs 85M IPs) for better rotation, advanced optimization algorithms, and 99.99% uptime SLA. Both approaches work—NetNut's one-hop is faster per connection, Bright Data's larger network provides more availability and higher uptime guarantees.
How do scraping capabilities compare?
NetNut provides: Website Unblocker (bypasses anti-bot systems), SERP Scraper API (structured SERP data), B2B Data Scraper API (LinkedIn/company data), plus datasets marketplace (250M professional profiles, 50M company profiles). Good scraping capabilities focused on specific use cases.
Bright Data offers: 120+ pre-built, officially maintained scraper APIs for platforms like Amazon, Google, LinkedIn, Facebook; browser-based Web IDE with AI building; comprehensive dataset marketplace across multiple industries; Web Unblocker; and unlimited scalability. While NetNut has scraping tools, Bright Data's 120+ maintained APIs with guaranteed uptime provide more comprehensive coverage and reliability for diverse scraping needs.
Can I save by switching from NetNut to Bright Data?
NetNut offers competitive pricing: rotating residential $1.59-3.53/GB, static ISP $3.82-14.4/GB, with self-service now available for instant purchase. They're recognized for good price-performance ratio and awarded G2's #1 Web Data Provider.
Bright Data provides better total cost of ownership when you need: 76% larger residential network (150M vs 85M IPs), 120+ maintained APIs (eliminates development costs), Web IDE (faster development), higher uptime SLA (99.99% vs 99.9%), and comprehensive certifications. While NetNut may have lower per-GB pricing, Bright Data's included features (APIs, IDE, larger network, higher uptime) typically provide better value for production operations requiring scale and reliability.
How long does it take to migrate from NetNut to Bright Data?
Migration from NetNut typically takes 24-48 hours for proxy infrastructure. The process involves: (1) Setting up Bright Data proxy credentials, (2) Testing larger network performance (150M vs 85M residential, 1.3M vs 1M ISP), (3) Migrating or rebuilding scrapers using Bright Data's APIs or Web IDE, (4) Gradual traffic shifting.
Our support team assists throughout and can help you leverage Bright Data's additional capabilities (120+ APIs, Web IDE, comprehensive datasets) that NetNut doesn't offer at the same breadth. Many customers use both—NetNut for specific use cases leveraging one-hop speed, and Bright Data for large-scale operations requiring maximum network size, APIs, and enterprise features.
Does Bright Data support the same features as NetNut?
NetNut features: 85M+ rotating residential IPs, 1M+ static ISP IPs, 5M+ mobile IPs, 150K+ datacenter IPs, patented one-hop connectivity, Website Unblocker, SERP Scraper API, B2B Data Scraper API, datasets (250M profiles, 50M companies), 99.9% uptime, ISO 27001 certified, G2's #1 Web Data Provider 2025.

Both are excellent—NetNut for one-hop speed and mid-market, Bright Data for scale and enterprise features.
What makes NetNut attractive for mid-market companies?
NetNut excels for mid-market: awarded G2's #1 Web Data Provider 2025, Best Relationship, Best Usability, Easiest Setup, Best Support; competitive pricing ($1.59-3.53/GB residential); patented one-hop ISP connectivity (faster speeds); B2B IP sourcing (compliance benefits); dedicated account managers; self-service now available for instant purchase; and strong customer testimonials from Fortune 500 companies (Lenovo, Sterling Check, Apify, ScraperAPI).

Bright Data's dataset marketplace offers: pre-collected datasets across e-commerce, real estate, job postings, company information, social media, news, and more industries beyond just B2B profiles. While NetNut specializes in professional/company data, Bright Data provides broader industry coverage. Both offer valuable datasets—NetNut for B2B/professional focus, Bright Data for comprehensive multi-industry data needs.
What export formats and integrations are supported?
NetNut supports standard proxy protocols (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5), API access for automation, dashboard management, and integrations with popular tools. Their scraper APIs output structured JSON data for SERP and B2B data collection.
Bright Data supports: JSON, NDJSON, CSV, Excel, direct database integrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), webhook delivery, cloud storage (Amazon S3, Google Cloud), and scheduled exports with comprehensive API access. Both offer solid integrations—NetNut focuses on proxy protocols and API access, while Bright Data provides more enterprise export formats including NDJSON streaming, Excel, and direct database connections.

NetNut serves Fortune 500 companies (Lenovo, Sterling Check, ScraperAPI, Apify, Import.io, RocketReach, PriceLabs) with billions of monthly routed requests, ISO 27001 certification, patented technology, and dedicated account managers.
