SIDE BY SIDE
WHY CHOOSE US
BrightData built its reputation on scale -- millions of IPs across nearly every country. But scale creates tradeoffs that matter for professional users. Shared IP pools mean your traffic mixes with unknown third parties. Per-GB billing means costs escalate unpredictably with usage. Complex dashboards and onboarding requirements mean steep learning curves. Here is why Proxy Poland's focused, hardware-first approach solves the specific problems that BrightData's massive shared infrastructure creates.
OWN HARDWARE
We operate real physical 4G modems in Warsaw. No reselling, no shared pools. Each modem is a dedicated device with a real Polish SIM card on a live carrier network.
REAL 4G/5G CONNECTION
Every proxy runs on a genuine LTE 4G/5G connection. Platforms see real mobile traffic from Polish carriers -- identical to a regular smartphone user. 0% detection guaranteed.
$2/DAY FLAT RATE
No per-GB billing, no bandwidth caps, no surprise charges. Pay a flat daily rate and use as much data as you need. Scrape terabytes, stream video, run automation -- all included.
FREE TRIAL, NO CARD
Test our proxies for 1 hour completely free. No credit card, no business verification, no commitments. Sign up, get your proxy credentials, and start testing in under 2 minutes.
WHAT SETS US APART
BrightData operates a centralized proxy gateway that distributes shared mobile IPs from a pool of 7 million devices. Proxy Poland operates individual physical 4G modems -- each customer gets exclusive hardware. BrightData's pool means your IP was likely used by someone else minutes ago. Our modem means your IP is generated fresh from a real SIM card.
BrightData's mobile pricing starts at $8.40/GB standard, dropping to $5.88/GB on annual volume plans. A moderate 10 GB/day workload costs $59-84/day with them. Proxy Poland charges $2/day flat with unlimited bandwidth. You would need to use less than 0.24 GB/day for BrightData to be cheaper -- most professional users consume 10-100x that amount.
Proxy Poland supports HTTP, SOCKS5, OpenVPN, and Xray protocols. BrightData supports HTTP and SOCKS5 only. OpenVPN and Xray enable full-device tunneling, routing your entire operating system through the mobile proxy. This matters for browser fingerprint consistency and mobile app testing where per-application proxy settings are insufficient.
BrightData requires business email verification for their trial and targets enterprise customers with account managers, onboarding calls, and minimum commitments for best pricing. Proxy Poland offers a free 1-hour trial with no credit card, no business verification, and no minimum spend. Self-service signup takes under 2 minutes.
HOW WE COMPARE TO BRIGHTDATA
BrightData is one of the largest proxy networks in the world, offering residential, datacenter, ISP, and mobile proxies across millions of IPs globally. Their scale is impressive, but scale comes with tradeoffs. Their mobile proxies come from a shared pool -- your IP might be used by dozens of other customers simultaneously.
Proxy Poland takes the opposite approach. Instead of a massive shared pool, we operate dedicated physical 4G modems. When you rent a proxy from us, you get exclusive access to a real modem with a real SIM card. Nobody else uses your IP. This is why we achieve a 0% detection rate while shared pools typically sit at 5-15%.
The pricing model is fundamentally different too. BrightData charges per GB, starting at $8.40/GB for mobile traffic. For a professional scraping operation pulling 50 GB/day, that is $420/day. With Proxy Poland, the same workload costs $2/day. The math speaks for itself.
BrightData's network architecture routes mobile traffic through a centralized super-proxy gateway before dispatching requests to their shared IP pool. Every request passes through this intermediary layer, adding a network hop that increases latency and introduces a single point of failure. Their system assigns you a random mobile IP from the pool per session, but that same IP may serve dozens of other customers between your requests. Proxy Poland eliminates this intermediary entirely -- your traffic flows through a direct tunnel to a physical modem, and the modem's carrier-assigned IP belongs exclusively to you for the entire rental period.
For large-scale web scraping across dozens of countries, BrightData's 195-country coverage is genuinely hard to match. But for tasks where IP quality outweighs geographic breadth -- social media account management, sneaker purchasing, ad verification on Polish markets, or any operation where a single detection event means a permanently burned account -- dedicated hardware wins every time. BrightData users frequently report needing to rotate through hundreds of IPs to find clean ones on strict platforms, while every Proxy Poland IP starts clean because nobody else has touched it.
Consider a team running 20 scrapers pulling 5 GB/day each. With BrightData at $8.40/GB (their standard mobile rate), that is 100 GB/day costing $840 daily or $25,200 per month. With Proxy Poland, 20 dedicated modems at $2/day each cost $40/day or $1,200/month -- a 95% cost reduction. Even at BrightData's volume-discounted rate of $5.88/GB, the same workload still costs $17,640/month. The flat-rate model eliminates the anxiety of watching bandwidth meters and lets teams focus on output rather than cost optimization.
WHEN BRIGHTDATA IS THE BETTER CHOICE
If your operation requires mobile IPs across dozens of countries simultaneously, BrightData's 195-country coverage is unmatched. Proxy Poland specializes in Polish mobile IPs. For global geo-targeting campaigns, ad verification across multiple markets, or price comparison across international e-commerce sites, BrightData's geographic reach gives them a clear advantage that single-country providers cannot match.
For enterprise teams that need integrated data collection tools -- Web Scraper API, SERP API, browser automation, dataset marketplace -- BrightData offers a complete ecosystem. Their platform handles JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, and structured data extraction out of the box. If you need more than raw proxy access and want a full scraping infrastructure, BrightData's tooling saves significant development time.
BrightData is the right pick for large organizations with dedicated proxy budgets that need worldwide coverage, integrated scraping tools, and enterprise support with SLAs. Proxy Poland is the better choice for professionals who need high-quality Polish mobile IPs with dedicated hardware, unlimited bandwidth, and dramatically lower costs. If your use case is country-specific and cost-sensitive, we win. If you need worldwide multi-tool infrastructure, BrightData wins.
HOW TO SWITCH FROM BRIGHTDATA
Start by creating a free Proxy Poland account -- no business email or verification needed. Activate the free 1-hour trial to get your proxy credentials immediately. During the trial, test your critical workflows against the same targets you use with BrightData. This parallel testing lets you verify performance, speed, and detection rates before making any changes to your production setup.
Update your proxy configuration by replacing BrightData's zone-based authentication (brd-customer-ID-zone-NAME:password@zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:port) with Proxy Poland's simpler host:port:user:pass format. Most tools -- Scrapy, Puppeteer, Selenium, curl -- need only a proxy URL change. Remove any bandwidth tracking or usage monitoring code since Proxy Poland's unlimited bandwidth eliminates per-GB cost concerns.
Run both services in parallel for 24-48 hours. Route a subset of your traffic through Proxy Poland while keeping BrightData active as fallback. Compare success rates, response times, and detection events side by side. Once you confirm Proxy Poland matches or exceeds BrightData's performance on your specific targets, migrate all traffic and cancel your BrightData subscription.
