SERP Search vs Bright Data

Bright Data is a large enterprise data platform offering proxies, datasets, and a SERP scraping API. It is primarily aimed at large enterprise customers with complex data needs and comes with a significantly higher price tag and steeper setup requirements.

Verdict

Bright Data is built for enterprise teams managing large-scale proxy infrastructure. For developers who just need clean, structured SERP JSON at a reasonable price, SERP Search is simpler, faster to integrate, and far more affordable.
