Bright Data is solid, but yeah, it’s pricey. If you’re doing small-scale scraping, check out ScraperAPI or ParseHub. They’re way cheaper and easier to set up.
That said, Bright Data’s proxy network is unbeatable for heavy-duty stuff. Used it for a e-commerce price tracking project and had zero bans.
Compliance can be a headache though. Had to double-check their TOS a few times to make sure I wasn’t stepping on any toes.
