Bright Data (formerly Luminati) gives you the tools to collect public web data at any scale. It offers proxy networks with 400M+ IPs in 195 countries, scraping APIs, a scraping browser, and pre-built datasets — all designed to help you gather competitive intelligence, pricing data, or training data for AI models. The platform handles the hardest parts of web scraping (CAPTCHAs, anti-bot measures, IP rotation) for you. You can download ready-made datasets from sources like Amazon, LinkedIn, and Google without writing code. A free tier is available with no credit card required. Pay-per-use pricing starts at $5.88/GB for residential proxies.
A STOA consultant can help you evaluate these tools based on your specific business needs and walk you through implementation.
Talk to STOAThis tool is best for small businesses that need to track competitor prices, gather market research, or build AI training datasets from public web sources. The ready-made datasets and automatic CAPTCHA-handling save you serious time, but at $5.88/GB for residential proxies, costs can add up fast if you're pulling large amounts of data — and the platform has a steep learning curve that may overwhelm non-technical owners.
