Frequently Asked Questions: Bright Data vs Oxylabs
Is Bright Data better than Oxylabs?
Bright Data and Oxylabs are both leading web data platforms, but Bright Data offers a broader and more integrated solution. Bright Data provides 250+ officially maintained scraper APIs, 1,700+ ready-to-use datasets, a full browser-based Scraper Studio with AI, and a 400M+ IP proxy network — all from one platform. Oxylabs offers a Web Scraper API with 100+ domain targets and 177M+ residential IPs, but lacks a self-serve dataset marketplace, browser-based IDE, and comprehensive no-code tools. Bright Data also holds additional compliance certifications including CCPA and CSA STAR Level 1 that Oxylabs does not.
How do Bright Data's officially maintained APIs compare to Oxylabs'?
Bright Data's 250+ scraper APIs are professionally built and maintained by our in-house engineering team with guaranteed uptime, enterprise SLAs, and continuous updates when target sites change. Oxylabs' Web Scraper API covers 100+ domain targets — a solid offering, but with fewer pre-configured endpoints and no open scraper template library available to users.
What's the cost difference for proxies?
Bright Data's residential proxies start from $2.50/GB (on the 798 GB plan) up to $4/GB pay-as-you-go — with 400M+ IPs across 195 countries. Oxylabs' residential proxies start from $6/GB (Starter, 5GB) down to $2.50/GB at the Corporate tier (1TB). Both networks include proxies as a core product, though Bright Data's IP pool is more than twice the size of Oxylabs'.
Does Bright Data have a Scraper Studio / Web IDE like Oxylabs?
Yes — Bright Data's Scraper Studio is a full browser-based development environment featuring AI-powered scraper building, real-time testing and debugging, built-in proxy testing, version control, one-click deployment, and team collaboration. Oxylabs does not offer a comparable browser-based Web IDE — their platform is dashboard and API-driven, requiring local development setup for custom scraping logic.
Can I migrate from Oxylabs to Bright Data easily?
Most customers complete migration from Oxylabs to Bright Data within 24–48 hours. If you're using Oxylabs for proxy infrastructure, Bright Data supports the same protocols and geo-targeting options. If you're using Oxylabs' Web Scraper API, you can map your workflows to Bright Data's 250+ maintained APIs or rebuild using the Scraper Studio. Our support team assists throughout migration at no extra cost.
Does Bright Data offer a dataset marketplace like Oxylabs?
Yes — Bright Data's dataset marketplace offers 1,700+ pre-collected, structured datasets covering e-commerce, social media, real estate, job listings, company data, and more — instantly available without any scraping time. Oxylabs offers managed custom dataset acquisition (from $400/month), but does not have a self-serve dataset marketplace with immediately downloadable datasets.
What compliance certifications does Bright Data hold vs Oxylabs?
Bright Data holds GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and CSA STAR Level 1 certifications. Oxylabs holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 1 & 2, and GDPR compliance. Bright Data's additional CCPA and CSA STAR Level 1 certifications, combined with an industry-first multilingual Compliance & Ethics team, make it the preferred choice for enterprises operating across US and global regulatory environments.
Does Bright Data offer a free trial?
Yes. Bright Data offers free trials on all products with no credit card required. Oxylabs offers a free trial of up to 2,000 results on the Web Scraper API, and free trial access on some proxy products.
What no-code options does Bright Data provide vs Oxylabs?
Bright Data offers a visual data selector, pre-built scraper templates, a browser extension, scheduled cloud delivery, and direct integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier, and Make. Oxylabs is primarily a developer-focused platform — while it offers a Scheduler feature and integrations with tools like Zapier and n8n, it lacks point-and-click data selection and a browser extension, making it less accessible to non-technical users.
Can Bright Data handle enterprise-scale data collection?
Yes — Bright Data collects over 650TB of public data per day, serving 20,000+ customers including Fortune 500 companies. With a 400M+ IP network, 24/7 dedicated support on all paid plans, dedicated account managers, and custom enterprise SLAs, Bright Data is built for production-grade, mission-critical data operations. Oxylabs serves 15,000+ clients with a 177M+ IP network — a strong enterprise offering, but smaller in scale than Bright Data.
