Residential price per GB at four order sizes, trials, expiry, KYC and refunds side by side." url: "https://serpproxies.com/compare/bright-data-vs-oxylabs" --- Comparison # Bright Data vs Oxylabs Two of the best-known proxy providers, compared on what an order actually costs and the terms that come with it — every figure from their own sites. Prices and policies checked October 9, 2026 [Try a third option free](https://app.serpproxies.com/sign-up?product=residential) [See the comparison](#comparison) The short answer Both are enterprise platforms with scraping APIs, very large pools and KYC on residential access, so the choice is mostly about how you want to pay. Oxylabs is cheaper per GB of residential traffic ($6.00/GB against $8.00/GB at 10 GB; $2.50/GB against $5.00/GB at 1 TB) but sells only monthly credit that expires each cycle. Bright Data keeps a pay-as-you-go option and claims the larger residential pool. Head to head, row by row 4 Bright Data wins 8 Ties 2 Oxylabs wins Counted from the comparison table below.

Oxylabs has no pay-as-you-go option, though, and its monthly credit expires each cycle. Prices checked October 2026. Both do for residential proxies. Since July 2026 Bright Data requires a registered company, a corporate email and a human-reviewed check for new residential access; Oxylabs asks every customer to complete a KYC questionnaire. Bright Data claims the larger residential network. Both are among the largest published pools; neither figure can be verified independently. Neither is generous: Bright Data's agreement says subscription fees are non-refundable, and Oxylabs doesn't refund self-service purchases. For plain residential traffic without scraping APIs, yes — the costs table on this page includes SerpProxies for reference, which is pay as you go, has a free trial and asks for verification only when a risk check calls for it.
