Hidden billing gotchas

  • Prices here are for the Web Scraper API, per 1,000 records. Each Bright Data product bills separately: residential proxies are $8/GB pay-as-you-go ($7–$5/GB on monthly commitments), and Web Unlocker is $1.50 per 1,000 requests.
  • Headline proxy rates and 'GB included' figures are often 50%-off promo prices for the first 3 months; list prices are used here.
  • Monthly plans are commitments billed on the 1st. Pay-as-you-go draws down a prepaid balance with no automatic top-up, so jobs can stall when it runs out.
