I’ve used both brightdata and smartproxy for youtube scraping, and honestly, it depends on your needs. Brightdata is def better for geo-targeting if you need specific locations. But Smartproxy is way cheaper and still gets the job done for most tasks.
Speed-wise, Brightdata felt a bit faster, but Smartproxy wasn’t too far behind. Both worked fine with Selenium for me, but Brightdata had fewer bans overall. If budget isn’t an issue, I’d go with Brightdata.
