I’ve used both oxylabs and brightdata for scraping, and honestly, it depends on your needs. Oxylabs is a beast for heavy-duty tasks, especially if you’re dealing with large-scale scraping. Their proxy pool is massive, and I’ve rarely had issues with bans.
Brightdata, on the other hand, feels more user-friendly. Their dashboard is super clean, and it’s easier to set up if you’re not super tech-savvy. Pricing-wise, oxylabs is a bit steeper, but you get what you pay for.
If you’re worried about bans, I’d lean towards oxylabs. They’ve got better rotation and geo-targeting options. But if you want something simpler, brightdata is solid.
Also, check out Smartproxy as an alternative. It’s cheaper and works well for smaller projects.
