NyxonProxies vs Bright Data: list prices, coupon prices and KYC compared (2026)

Bright Data is the biggest name in the proxy business, and proxies are now only one part of what it sells: there are unlocker, SERP and browser APIs, scraper APIs for more than 1,200 websites, and pre-collected datasets from more than 900 domains. If what you need is proxies, the question is simpler. How do Bright Data's proxy prices, minimums and onboarding compare with a pay-as-you-go network that sells nothing else?

Bright Data figures below come from its pricing pages and FAQ, checked on 23 October 2026. It is currently running a 50% coupon on residential traffic for the first three months, so both the list price and the coupon price are shown. NyxonProxies prices are from its live catalog on the same day. This comparison covers residential, datacenter and ISP proxies.

Residential proxies

Bright Data's residential pricing has a pay-as-you-go option and three monthly plans:

• Pay as you go: $8/GB, or $4/GB with the coupon, no commitment
• $499 a month: $7/GB, or $3.50/GB with the coupon
• $999 a month: $6/GB, or $3/GB with the coupon
• $1,999 a month: $5/GB, or $2.50/GB with the coupon

Above 1 TB a month, Bright Data quotes custom prices. Its residential network is advertised at 400M+ IPs in 195 countries, with country, state, city, ZIP code and ASN targeting included.

NyxonProxies charges $1.10/GB for its premium residential pool, with country, state and city targeting, and $0.35/GB for Residential Budget, which targets by country. There is no plan, and the rate is the same at 1 GB and at 1,000 GB.

The same traffic on each:

• 1 GB: $8 on Bright Data ($4 with the coupon); $1.10 premium or $0.35 Budget on NyxonProxies
• 100 GB: $800 pay as you go on Bright Data ($400 with the coupon); $110 or $35 on NyxonProxies
• About 800 GB: the $1,999 plan with the coupon on Bright Data; $880 or $280 on NyxonProxies

Even Bright Data's best published rate, $2.50/GB on its largest plan with the three-month coupon, is more than twice the NyxonProxies premium price. What Bright Data adds for the money is depth: ZIP targeting on residential traffic, state and city targeting outside the US, a much larger pool, and more countries than the 160+ NyxonProxies Residential covers.

Datacenter proxies

Bright Data meters datacenter traffic at $0.60/GB pay as you go, falling to $0.51, $0.45 and $0.42/GB on its $499, $999 and $1,999 monthly plans. It also rents datacenter IPs with unlimited traffic: shared IPs from $1.40 each (10 IPs for $14 a month) down to $0.90 each at 1,000 IPs, and dedicated IPs from $2.20 each down to $1.30.

NyxonProxies meters datacenter traffic at $0.36/GB, below even Bright Data's largest plan, or bills it by speed in Mbps per day. For targets that support IPv6, its IPv6 datacenter pool costs $0.10/GB. If what you want is a fixed list of IPs with unmetered traffic, Bright Data's per-IP rentals are the product built for that.

ISP proxies

Bright Data rents ISP proxies with unlimited traffic, shared or dedicated. Shared ISP IPs start at $1.80 each (10 IPs for $18 a month) and fall to $1.30 at 1,000 IPs. Dedicated ISP IPs start at $3.50 each (10 IPs for $35 a month) and fall to $2.50 at 1,000 IPs. There is also a pay-per-GB ISP option at $8/GB.

NyxonProxies dedicated ISP IPs cost $3 each for 30 days, from a single IP up to 1,000, and its shared ISP pool is metered at $0.50/GB. For a few dedicated IPs NyxonProxies is cheaper and has no 10-IP minimum. From 100 IPs, where Bright Data's dedicated rate drops to $2.75, Bright Data is cheaper per IP.

Minimums and billing

Pay as you go on Bright Data has no commitment. Its monthly plans are commitments: the billing cycle starts on the 1st of each month, the commitment is charged automatically on the 1st, and a first month that starts mid-month is pro-rated. To verify a card, Bright Data makes a one-time authorization charge and then rewards you with extra credit. New sign-ups currently get their first deposit matched dollar for dollar, up to $500.

NyxonProxies has one model: a prepaid balance you top up from $1, spend on any product, and keep for as long as you like, because it never expires.

Payment and KYC

Bright Data accepts PayPal, Payoneer, Alipay, Google Pay, wire transfers and credit cards, and you can also pay through the AWS Marketplace. Its FAQ does not list cryptocurrency.

Before you can use its residential or mobile network, a Bright Data representative takes you through a compliance process, which Bright Data says may include a short intro video call and verification of your company or personal information. Its Web Unlocker product does not require it.

NyxonProxies is the opposite on both counts. Payment is crypto only, with coins such as BTC, ETH, SOL and USDT, and there is no KYC: an email address and acceptance of the acceptable-use policy, which forbids fraud, credential stuffing, spam, attacks and anything unlawful. The reasoning is laid out in no-KYC proxies explained.

What Bright Data does better

• Products beyond proxies. Unlocker, SERP and browser APIs, site-specific scraper APIs and datasets.
• Residential depth. ZIP targeting, state and city outside the US, and a 400M+ IP network in 195 countries.
• Enterprise terms. Custom pricing above 1 TB, premium SLAs and AWS Marketplace billing.
• Static IPs at scale. Unlimited-traffic ISP and datacenter IPs that get cheap at 1,000 IPs.

Which one to choose

Choose Bright Data if you are a company that wants one vendor for proxies, scraping APIs and data, is comfortable with a compliance call, and needs ZIP-level targeting or enterprise contracts.

Choose NyxonProxies if you need proxies and nothing else, want to pay per gigabyte with no plan or minimum beyond $1, prefer crypto, or would rather not go through verification. On residential traffic, NyxonProxies' list price is below Bright Data's lowest promotional rate.

Bright Data also appears next to Oxylabs and Decodo in the three-provider comparison, and the Oxylabs comparison goes deeper on that provider.
