Bright Data alternative for Latin America (2026)

Does Bright Data require KYC for Latin American residential proxies?

Yes, for new Residential zones. Bright Data's documentation says its Residential proxies "are available only to verified companies that pass a human-reviewed KYC" check, and that the requirement "applies only to new Residential zones created after July 7, 2026". Accounts with a personal email are not eligible for Residential access.

The rule applies to every country, so it covers Brazilian, Mexican and Argentine IPs too. Its ISP, Datacenter and Web Unlocker products do not require KYC, per the same page.

Older articles describe a no-KYC mode for Bright Data residential, and some Spanish-language search results still show them. Bright Data's current documentation, read on 5 October 2026, describes the KYC rule above instead.

LatamProxies has no KYC step at all. You get an account number, pay in crypto and receive credentials as soon as your top-up is credited.

Can I pay Bright Data with crypto?

No. Bright Data's pricing FAQ lists PayPal, Payoneer, Alipay, Google Pay, wire transfers and credit cards, plus AWS Marketplace. It does not list any cryptocurrency.

LatamProxies works the other way round: crypto is the only payment method. We accept USDT on TRC-20 and ERC-20, BTC, USDC, ETH, LTC and SOL. USDT is already the largest crypto asset in Brazil's declared operations: R$33.96 billion in June 2026, per Receita Federal open data. Paying in USDT avoids card fees and a second currency conversion.

How do Bright Data and LatamProxies prices compare for Latin America?

Both charge one rate for all countries, so Brazil costs the same as Mexico. The difference is the rate.

• 1 GB: LatamProxies $2.63 vs Bright Data $8 list ($4 with its current promo).
• 10 GB: LatamProxies $5.94 vs Bright Data $80 list ($40 promo).
• 100 GB: LatamProxies $50 vs Bright Data $800 list ($400 promo), or its $499 monthly plan for 141 GB.

Bright Data's promotion (code RESIGB50) halves residential prices for 3 months. After that, list prices apply. LatamProxies plans have no promo codes and no subscription. See the pricing page for all tiers.

When is Bright Data the better choice?

Bright Data is the better fit in several cases, and we say so plainly:

• You need ZIP or ASN targeting. Bright Data includes country, state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting for free. LatamProxies offers country and city only.
• You need a managed data product. Bright Data sells a Mercado Libre MAP monitoring product, for example.
• Your company already passes KYC and pays by invoice, card or AWS Marketplace.
• You need ISP or datacenter proxies without KYC.

LatamProxies fits better when you want Latin American residential or 4G/5G mobile IPs quickly, without company verification, paid in USDT or another coin.

Does LatamProxies cover the same Latin American countries?

LatamProxies has pages for 38 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Bright Data publishes location pages for Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile, among many countries worldwide.

Our main markets are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Peru. We also list Central America and the Caribbean, such as the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica.

For carrier IPs, LatamProxies sells dedicated 4G/5G ports from $9/day. Bright Data's pricing menu on 5 October 2026 listed only Residential, Datacenter and ISP proxy products.
