Detailed Review
Bright Data's Master Service Agreement is an agreement between Bright Data Ltd, 4 Hamahshev St., Netanya, Israel, and the client. It governs the agreement by Israeli law, with the Tel Aviv-Jaffa courts exclusive.
One caveat decides eligibility for readers: for clients located in the United States the contracting entity is Bright Data, Inc. in New York. A European customer is therefore a client of the Israeli company, and EP counts Israel as European.
Products and Free Tiers
The pricing page lists Unlocker API, SERP API and Crawl API from $1 per 1,000 requests, Browser API from $5 per GB, Scraper APIs and Scraper Studio, Datasets from $250 per 100K records and a Data Firehose from $0.2 per 1,000 HTML pages (23 October 2026). A free tier label appears on Unlocker API, SERP API, Scraper APIs and Scraper Studio.
Scraper Studio and Datasets
Scraper Studio builds a scraper per site, while Datasets sells already collected data by the record, which can replace running a scraper at all if your target is a common one.
Entity Check
The order form, invoice or dashboard can override the default contracting entity, according to the agreement. Confirm the name on your invoice, especially if you buy through a US checkout.
Limitations to Consider
The contracting entity depends on location: the Master Service Agreement assigns clients in the United States to Bright Data, Inc. in New York, and an order form or invoice can specify a different entity. Israeli law and Tel Aviv courts apply to the agreement. Prices on the pages checked are 'starts from' figures across many products. The pages checked state no data location.
