What moves when you leave AdsPower
No antidetect browser exports a profile that another one can open. Your logins travel in the cookie file.
- Moves across Cookies and logins AdsPower exports them as JSON, Netscape or name=value. Donut imports JSON and Netscape files.
- Moves across Proxy list Hosts, ports and passwords. Paste the list once and assign it to many profiles.
- Stays behind The profile itself AdsPower exports a spreadsheet of profile fields. Cookies can be one of the columns.
- Made new Fingerprint Each browser builds its own. Donut makes a fresh, consistent one for every profile.
Switch in three steps
- Today Install Donut Browser. Rebuild your least important AdsPower profile, import its cookies, and check that the site still knows you.
- This week Move the rest. Export cookies from AdsPower, create matching profiles, and assign your proxies in one pass.
- Before you cancel Keep AdsPower until every new profile has stayed signed in for a few days. Then cancel.

What happens if you stop paying?
A vendor that stores your profiles also decides when to delete them. A folder on your disk has no such clock.

Nothing is deleted. There is no second copy.
When AdsPower is the better choice
Real limits of Donut Browser. If one of these describes your work, stay where you are.
- You need Firefox-engine profiles. Donut Browser ships one engine, Wayfern, and it is Chromium.
- You want to open the same profile on any machine with no setup. Donut keeps profiles on the device. Syncing them needs a paid plan or your own sync server.
- You need roles from day one. AdsPower has members and a super-administrator on every plan. Donut Browser adds collaboration on the Team plan. 6
- You want to pay in BRL, PLN or VND. AdsPower offers those currencies. Donut Browser bills in USD. 7
Common questions
Is there a free AdsPower alternative?
Yes. The Donut Browser free plan has unlimited local profiles, per-profile proxies and the local REST API. No account, no card, no trial. Paid plans add cloud backups, fingerprints for other operating systems, team seats and commercial use.
Is there an open source AdsPower alternative?
The Donut Browser app is AGPL-3.0 on GitHub: the profile manager, the local REST API, the MCP tooling and the sync server. The Wayfern engine it runs is proprietary.
What AdsPower alternative do people recommend on Reddit?
We do not quote threads here. You can check the facts yourself instead: the app source is on GitHub, the prices are public, and each claim about AdsPower on this page names its source.
Can I import my AdsPower profiles into Donut Browser?
Not as profiles. No antidetect browser exports a profile that another one can open. Export your cookies from AdsPower, create the profiles in Donut, and import the cookie file in the app, over the REST API or through MCP. Each profile gets a fresh fingerprint.
Do I need an account to replace AdsPower?
No. The free plan runs without an account, because profiles are folders on your disk. You sign in only to buy a plan or to turn on cloud sync.
