Bright Data terms as of October 22, 2026: pricing, KYC, payments.

Bright Data at a glance

Bright Data has operated since 2014 and was called Luminati Networks until March 2021. It is based in Netanya, Israel, and has belonged to EMK Capital since 2017.

Residential traffic is billed per GB, pay‑as‑you‑go or on monthly plans with included volume. Scraping APIs and ready‑made datasets are sold alongside.

Since 7 July 2026 new residential zones go only to companies that pass a manual KYC check. A corporate email and registration documents are required, and personal projects are not approved.
