FastAF vs Bright Data
Bright Data runs one of the largest proxy networks in the industry and sells search results pay as you go or on monthly plans. On Google search the two price lists are close: $1.50 per 1,000 pay as you go and $1.31 on their $499 monthly plan, against $1.33 to $2.50 on FastAF packs that are bought once and last 12 months.

The honest verdict
Bright Data makes sense when you need enterprise contracts, dedicated IP pools and formal compliance review, or a steady 380,000 searches every month. If your volume is uneven, or you want search, Amazon, LinkedIn, YouTube and page scrapes from one prepaid balance with no monthly plan, FastAF is the simpler buy.
