Bright Data, routed
through gottem.
Bright Data operates one of the largest proxy networks in the world, and its Web Unlocker and Scraping Browser are built for the pages that stop everything else. In gottem's catalogue they are the heavy rungs, the routes the ladder climbs to when cheaper vendors keep coming back blocked.
Bright Data routes, what they cost.
Each row is a routable id in the engine. The price is what gottem bills per successful page on that route. That is gottem's price, not Bright Data's list price. The full Cost Ladder has every vendor side by side.
| Route | Tier | Per page | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| brightdata.unlocker | T7 | $0.010 | 100 cr | Web Unlocker |
| brightdata.scraping_browser | T8 | $0.015 | 150 cr | Scraping Browser |
When the ladder picks Bright Data.
The ladder reaches brightdata.unlocker (T7) after the cheap rungs fail. It specializes in defeating anti-bot walls at the HTTP layer. brightdata.scraping_browser (T8) goes further with a full remote browser session. You only pay these prices on the requests that actually needed them.
Pin Bright Data when you need it.
By default picks the route; pass force_provider when a workflow needs Bright Data specifically, for parity testing, compliance, or vendor-native options via provider_options.

Questions.
- Is gottem a Bright Data alternative?
- No. gottem isn't a replacement for Bright Data. It routes through Bright Data alongside 13+ other scraping vendors and picks it whenever it's the best fit for the page. If you already use Bright Data, gottem adds automatic failover, per-domain routing memory, and one response shape on top of it.
- What does Bright Data cost per page through gottem?
- Bright Data's routes run from $0.010 to $0.015 a page depending on the rung. Those are gottem's prices for a successful page. Failed attempts bill at the $0.000001 minimum, effectively free.
- What's the difference between Web Unlocker and Scraping Browser through gottem?
- brightdata.unlocker defeats anti-bot systems at the request layer and costs $0.010 a page; brightdata.scraping_browser drives a real browser session for pages that need full rendering and interaction, at $0.015. The ladder tries the cheaper one first.
- Can I bring my own Bright Data key?
- Yes. Add it once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and gottem routes through your Bright Data account: you pay Bright Data directly and gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup.
