I’ve been in the same boat with the whole smartproxy vs brightdata debate. Honestly, it really depends on your use case. If you’re doing light scraping or just need something reliable without breaking the bank, smartproxy is a solid choice.
But if you’re dealing with large-scale projects or need super precise geo-targeting, brightdata is unbeatable. Yeah, it’s pricier, but the performance is worth it if you’re serious about data collection.
Have you checked out Oxylabs? It’s another option that’s kinda in between these two in terms of pricing and features. Might be worth a look if you’re still undecided.
