Bright Data is a full web-data platform: residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter proxy networks, unblocking and scraping APIs, and ready-made datasets, each with its own meter. If what you actually need is a stable, dedicated IPv4 proxy for SEO tools, account management, antidetect browsers or automation, HighProxies gives you exactly that: one IP, one customer, one flat monthly price per proxy.
Quick answer: HighProxies is a practical Bright Data alternative for teams that need dedicated datacenter IPv4 proxies (HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5) without paying for a platform built around residential networks, scraping APIs and datasets. If your project genuinely needs a huge rotating residential pool, mobile IPs or managed unblocking, Bright Data is the better tool for that specific job, and this page says so plainly.
Both providers sell proxies. One sells a data platform, the other sells dedicated IPs. Here is where that matters.

The biggest practical difference is not the IPs. It is how the bill is calculated.
Bright Data bills each product on its own meter: residential traffic per GB, static IPs per IP with a fair-use cap, APIs per 1,000 results, datasets per record. That model suits data teams that buy several products and want to pay for exactly what they consume. The catch: your cost moves with usage, and someone has to watch every meter.
HighProxies charges a fixed monthly price for each dedicated proxy. You know the cost before the month starts and it does not change with how much traffic you push. For steady workloads such as rank tracking, account management or scheduled automation, that is the simplest budget you can have.
Rule of thumb: if you can count the IPs you need, flat per-proxy pricing is usually easier to budget. If you need gigabytes across millions of rotating residential IPs, plus APIs and datasets, a platform like Bright Data is the right category.
Pick the tool that matches the job, not the one with the longest feature list.
Most proxy workloads do not need a data platform. They need clean, dedicated IPs that stay put.
Flat monthly pricing per proxy. Your invoice does not change based on how much traffic you send.
Each IP is assigned to one customer only. No sharing reputation with strangers, no surprise bans caused by someone else's traffic.
No product catalogue to navigate and no separate meters. Pick a plan, pick locations, order directly.
Standard HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxies plug into SEO software, antidetect browsers, bots and scripts without custom integration.
Datacenter locations across the USA, Europe and Japan, so you can pick the city your workflow needs.

Stock per city changes with demand. If you need a specific city, a subnet spread or a bulk order, open a ticket before ordering so we can confirm availability.
Dedicated datacenter proxies are fast, stable and predictable. They are the right fit when you need the same IP to show up every time, rather than a different residential address on every request.
Being upfront about where Bright Data has the edge saves everyone a refund request:
If any of these is a hard requirement, for example scraping targets that block every datacenter IP, Bright Data or another residential-focused provider is the right choice for that job.
Moving a datacenter workload takes minutes, not a project plan.
Work out how many dedicated IPs your accounts, profiles or threads actually need.
Choose the cities you need. Open a ticket first if exact location stock matters.
Use username/password, or whitelist your server IP for HTTP/HTTPS proxies.
Replace the proxy host, port and credentials in your tools. No code changes needed.
Yes, if your workload runs on datacenter IPs. HighProxies sells dedicated datacenter IPv4 proxies at a flat monthly price per proxy, which suits SEO tools, account management, antidetect browsers and automation. If you need residential, mobile or ISP proxies, unblocking APIs or datasets, Bright Data remains the better fit.
It depends on how you use proxies. Bright Data bills each product on its own meter, such as per GB for residential traffic and per IP with a fair-use cap for static IPs. HighProxies charges a flat monthly price per dedicated proxy, with no bandwidth metering. For steady workloads with a known number of IPs, a flat per-proxy price is usually easier to budget. Compare current pricing on both sites for your exact use case.
