IPProxy vs Bright Data
Bright Data is a large proxy and data platform. Residential and mobile networks require a KYC process before use. The residential pricing table we re-read was marked 50% off with coupon RESIGB50, so both the list price and the promotional price are shown. ISP self-serve plans on that table start at 10 IPs. IPProxy is a self-serve wallet for three proxy types, sells a single static IP, and does not describe a KYC video call in its public Help.
When IPProxy may fit
- You want to check out residential or static proxies from a wallet without a published KYC video-call step.
- You want one dedicated ISP or datacenter IP rather than a 10-IP monthly minimum.
- You only need the three IPProxy product types and do not want a platform of unlockers, scrapers, and mobile networks.
When Bright Data may fit
- You need a very large advertised residential network, ZIP/ASN targeting, or mobile IPs, and you can complete KYC.
- A 10-IP monthly ISP or datacenter lot is acceptable, or you want pay-as-you-go residential (including during a published coupon).
- You want Web Unlocker (Bright Data states that Web Unlocker does not require the KYC process used for residential/mobile).

Coverage, protocols, and sessions
Official marketing claims below have not been independently audited.
- Bright Data advertises 400M+ residential IPs, 195 countries, and 99.99% network uptime. Those are official marketing claims, not audited here.
- Product FAQ material lists HTTP/S and SOCKS5 (SOCKS5 is also mentioned with Proxy Manager on the pricing page).
- We do not repeat Bright Data’s success-rate marketing as a measured fact, and we do not claim IPProxy is faster.
Bright Data’s pricing FAQ mentions crawling, social management, ad verification, and unblocking. IPProxy use-case pages cover scraping, SEO, ad verification, social media, price monitoring, and research.
