Quick pick
Choose Bright Data when the 400M+ monthly residential footprint, carrier/ASN routing, Proxy Manager, or a broader enterprise proxy control layer is central to the project.
Choose Decodo when 115M+ residential IPs are already enough and a three-day trial, 14-day money-back option, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, EWDCI credentials, and a 10M+ mobile pool make evaluation and governance easier.
Bright Data and Decodo now overlap on most core residential requirements: both cover 195+ markets, both support precise geographic targeting and ASN selection, both publish 99.99% network uptime, and both verify customers. The useful split is scale and operating model. Bright Data advertises 400M+ monthly residential IPs and a broad enterprise control layer; Decodo advertises 115M+ residential IPs, a three-day trial, a 14-day money-back option, and independently audited ISO/IEC 27001:2022 plus EWDCI credentials.
If you choose Bright Data
Where Bright Data stands out
Bright Data publishes the larger residential network metric in this pair: 400M+ monthly IPs across 195 countries. Its residential product explicitly includes free city, state, ZIP, and ASN targeting, carrier targeting across the proxy network, unlimited concurrent sessions, QUIC support, and Proxy Manager for centralized routing and session control. Bright Data also publishes a 7M+ mobile network across 195 countries and offers shared and dedicated proxy options within the wider platform.
What Decodo changes
Decodo takes a more self-serve evaluation path. Its 115M+ residential network includes continent, country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN/ISP targeting, HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, unlimited concurrent sessions, a three-day trial, and a 14-day money-back option on eligible plans. Decodo also publishes ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its proxies and Scraping API and is an EWDCI co-founder and certified member, giving procurement teams a compact set of independently verifiable compliance signals.
If you choose Decodo
Where Decodo stands out
Decodo combines large residential scale with a clearly documented trial-and-refund path. Buyers can test the service for three days, use Pay As You Go or subscription traffic, and still retain the same 115M+ pool and advanced geo targeting. Its current mobile product is also substantial at 10M+ IPs from 700+ carriers across 160+ locations, with city and ASN targeting, so teams can keep residential and mobile workloads under the same vendor.
What Bright Data adds at the top end
Bright Data publishes 400M+ monthly residential IPs versus Decodo's 115M+ headline pool and layers that network into a broader enterprise proxy platform. Proxy Manager, carrier targeting, shared and dedicated options, and Bright Data's 7M+ mobile network across 195 countries give large organizations more ways to tune network behavior and procurement around a single provider.
