Which mobile proxy provider is right for you? An honest, side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, and performance.
BrightData is stronger for broad global proxy-pool buying, while Proxy Poland is built for teams that need dedicated Polish 4G/5G mobile proxies, flat daily pricing, HTTP/SOCKS5/OpenVPN/Xray access, and predictable rotation. Choose Proxy Poland when local mobile identity, simpler setup, and unlimited-bandwidth workflows matter more than buying large global proxy pools.
The BrightData comparison page is meant for buyers deciding between large shared proxy infrastructure versus a smaller dedicated Poland-first setup. It keeps the tradeoff practical: detection profile, session control, protocols, bandwidth pricing and how much infrastructure ownership matters for Polish account work, scraping or local checks.
Comparison rows summarize buying trade-offs, not lab-certified guarantees. Verify pricing and claim-handling rules on methodology before quoting exact external numbers.
Competitor facts are checked against public vendor pages before publication. Use vendor pages as the source of truth before quoting exact external prices or terms.
Caveat: Pricing and package details vary by account tier, volume, active promotions, and region — verify against your quote.
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.
We operate real dedicated physical 4G/5G modems or real Android phones with real SIM cards in Warsaw. No reselling, no shared pools. Each modem or Android phone is a dedicated device with a real Polish SIM card on a live carrier network.
Every proxy runs on a genuine LTE 4G/5G connection. Platforms see real mobile traffic from Polish carriers — consistent with a regular smartphone connection. That is why detection rates stay at no in our tested workflows.
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.
Test the proxies for 1 hour free. No credit card, no business verification, no commitments. Sign up, get your proxy credentials, and start testing in under 2 minutes.
BrightData operates a centralized proxy gateway that distributes shared mobile IPs from a pool of 7 million devices. Proxy Poland operates individual dedicated physical 4G/5G modems or real Android phones with real SIM cards -- each customer gets exclusive hardware. BrightData's pool means your IP was likely used by someone else minutes ago. The dedicated modem or real Android phone with a real SIM card means your IP is generated fresh from a real SIM card.
Bright Data's public mobile pricing starts at $8/GB pay-as-you-go, with public monthly tiers around $7/GB, $6/GB, and $5/GB at higher included traffic. Proxy Poland uses flat duration totals with unlimited bandwidth: $11 for 1 day, $30 for 7 days, $60 for 30 days, $150 for 90 days, and $250 for 180 days. You would need extremely low traffic for Bright Data to be cheaper.
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.
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/5G modems or real Android phones with real SIM cards. 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. Platforms cannot distinguish your traffic from a regular Polish smartphone user — which is why Proxy Poland proxies pass cleanly where shared pools sit at 5-15% detection rates.
The pricing model is fundamentally different too. Bright Data's current mobile proxy pricing starts at $8/GB for pay-as-you-go traffic, with volume tiers down to $5/GB on the largest public monthly plan. For a professional scraping operation pulling 50 GB/day, that is about $400/day at pay-as-you-go pricing. With Proxy Poland, the same workload costs $2/day on the 30-day plan — unlimited bandwidth included.
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 real Android phone, 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 more consistently. 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 Bright Data at $8/GB, that is 100 GB/day costing $800 daily or about $24,000 per month. With Proxy Poland, 20 dedicated modems at the 30-day rate cost $40/day or $1,200/month total. Even at Bright Data's largest public monthly tier of $5/GB, the same workload still runs about $15,000/month.
If your operation requires mobile IPs across dozens of countries simultaneously, BrightData's 195-country coverage is hard to match. 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.
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.
Yes for medium and heavy usage. Bright Data charges per GB for mobile proxies, currently from $8/GB pay-as-you-go. Proxy Poland offers flat-rate pricing at effectively $2/day on a 30-day plan, with unlimited bandwidth and no metering.
Proxy Poland achieves a lower detection risk because each proxy runs on a dedicated physical 4G/5G modem or real Android phone with a real SIM card. BrightData uses shared IP pools where the same IP may be used by multiple customers simultaneously, increasing detection risk.
BrightData primarily offers shared mobile proxy pools. While they have a massive network, IPs are rotated across users. Proxy Poland provides a dedicated physical modem or real Android phone with a real SIM card per customer -- your proxy is exclusively yours for the entire rental period.
Proxy Poland offers a free 1-hour trial with no credit card required. Test the full proxy capabilities — speed, rotation, protocols — before committing. BrightData requires a business email and verification for their trial.
Proxy Poland supports HTTP, SOCKS5, OpenVPN, and Xray -- more protocols than BrightData. The OpenVPN and Xray options let you route your entire device or VM through the proxy, which is useful for browser fingerprint consistency and VPN-style usage.
Most scraping tools (Scrapy, Puppeteer, Playwright, curl) only need a proxy URL change. Replace BrightData's zone-based credentials with Proxy Poland's host:port:user:pass format. No code logic changes are required -- just swap the proxy endpoint and remove any bandwidth tracking code since Proxy Poland has unlimited bandwidth.
Better, in fact. BrightData's shared pool means your social media accounts might get an IP that another customer already burned on the same platform. With Proxy Poland's dedicated modem or real Android phone with a real SIM card, your IP is exclusively yours -- no contamination risk. Each account gets a consistent mobile fingerprint that platforms trust.
BrightData offers pay-as-you-go but their best rates require annual commitments and minimum spend thresholds. Proxy Poland has no contracts, no minimums, and no commitment. Pay daily, weekly, or monthly. Cancel anytime with no penalties or hidden fees.
BrightData typically requires a $500 deposit to Use pay-as-you-go mobile proxies, and enterprise plans usually start at $1,000+ per month with annual commitment. Proxy Poland has no minimum: $11 for a single day or $250 for 180 days, paid by Stripe or crypto. There is no deposit, no sales call, and no contract — useful for solo operators and small teams who cannot justify BrightData's enterprise floor.
Yes, BrightData runs a manual KYC review on most new accounts, often asking for company documents, use-case justification and a sales call before mobile proxy access is enabled. Proxy Poland has no KYC: sign up with email, pay with card or crypto via NowPayments, and receive credentials for a dedicated Polish 4G/5G modem within minutes. This matters when you need to start testing the same day.
BrightData's mobile network is a shared rotating pool sourced globally, and country-pinned Polish IPs are typically available only by city or ASN filter on top of the shared pool — not as a dedicated SIM. Proxy Poland gives you a dedicated physical modem or real Android phone with a real SIM card in Warsaw on a real Orange, T-Mobile, Plus or Play SIM, so the carrier ASN and IP range are predictable and stable for the duration of your plan.
Usually no for sustained workloads. BrightData's mobile traffic is commonly billed at $8-20/GB, so a job pulling 50 GB/month can run $400-1000 before overage. Proxy Poland charges $250 for 180 days with unmetered bandwidth on a dedicated modem or real Android phone with a real SIM card, which is typically cheaper once you cross roughly 30-40 GB/month. For burst or low-volume use BrightData can still be competitive.
