What moves when you leave GoLogin

No antidetect browser exports a profile that another one can open. Your logins travel in the cookie file.

Moves across Cookies and logins GoLogin exports them as JSON, Netscape or plain text. 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 GoLogin exports a CSV of settings. It has no cookies or logins in it.
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 GoLogin profile, import its cookies, and check that the site still knows you.
This week Move the rest. Export cookies from GoLogin, create matching profiles, and assign your proxies in one pass.
Before you cancel Keep GoLogin until every new profile has stayed signed in for a few days. Then cancel.

GoLogin vs Donut Browser

Each GoLogin cell restates its own website, read on August 6, 2026. The numbers point to the sources below.

Topic	Donut Browser	GoLogin
Source code	The app (profile manager, local API, MCP tooling, sync server) is AGPL-3.0 on GitHub. The Wayfern engine is proprietary.	No open-source licence or public repository is named on its homepage or pricing page. 1
Free plan	Unlimited local profiles, per-profile proxies and the local API. No account, no card, no trial.	3 profiles, without profile sharing or team-member access. 2
What you pay for	Features, not profiles. Profiles are folders on your disk, so nothing counts them.	Profile tiers: paid plans at 100, 300 and 1,000 profiles, and a custom tier above that. 3
Team seats	The Team plan includes 2 seats. More seats are an add-on. Seats never limit profiles.	1 team member on each of the four paid plans. 4
Automation	A local REST API on the free plan, and remote MCP for AI agents on Pro and up.	A hosted API with a rate limit set by your plan, from 300 to 1,200 requests a minute. Works with Selenium and Puppeteer. 5
Proxies	Bring your own: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or WireGuard, per profile. Donut Browser sells no proxies.	Residential proxy traffic is included in the plans. 6

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.

GoLogin Cloud only. Profiles sync to GoLogin's servers.

Plan ends Deleted

Kept 180 days after the subscription ends, then deleted.
Donut Browser On your disk. Sync is optional, and the sync server is open source.

Plan ends Kept

Nothing is deleted. There is no second copy.

When GoLogin is the better choice

Real limits of Donut Browser. If one of these describes your work, stay where you are.

You manage accounts from a phone. GoLogin has an Android app. Donut Browser is desktop only. 7
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 want proxies billed with the browser. Donut Browser does not sell proxies.
You need Firefox-engine profiles. Donut Browser ships one engine, Wayfern, and it is Chromium.

Common questions

Is there a free GoLogin 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 GoLogin 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 GoLogin 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 GoLogin on this page names its source.

Can I import my GoLogin profiles into Donut Browser?

Not as profiles. No antidetect browser exports a profile that another one can open. Export your cookies from GoLogin, 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 GoLogin?

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.
