GoLogin or Octo Browser: which should you pick?
Pick GoLogin if
You want a free plan, an API on every paid plan, and an import tool for profiles from Multilogin, Dolphin Anty or Incogniton.
Pick Octo Browser if
You want a published, dated engine version. Octo Browser's changelog records each Chromium update, most recently Chromium 151.
If neither fits: Both keep profiles in the cloud and delete them some months after you stop paying. If you need profiles on your own disk, neither fits.
GoLogin vs Octo Browser, decision by decision
What each vendor's own pages said on August 9, 2026, side by side, with the call under each decision. The numbers link to the sources.
Where profiles live, and for how long
Even
Cloud only. Fingerprints, cookies, local storage and extensions save to the servers automatically; data is kept 180 days after a subscription expires, then permanently deleted. 1
Cloud only, synced when a profile stops. Every profile in the account is deleted after six months without an active subscription. 2
Even. Both store profiles in the cloud, delete them months after you stop paying, and document no local mode.
Engine version, as published
Edge: Octo Browser
Not stated anywhere. The documentation describes what Orbita is and never says which Chromium it is built on. 3
The Octium changelog records the kernel updated to Chromium 151 on 30 July 2026, one entry per Chromium major back to 124. 4
The clearest split. Octo Browser dates each engine update; GoLogin publishes no version number.
What an export actually carries
Even
A CSV of configuration: name, proxies, tags, folders and basic environment settings. The vendor states that cookies, sessions, login state and full fingerprint identity are not included, and that CSV import is not a backup method. 5
An encrypted file carrying the fingerprint, cookies and proxy, charged at half a token per profile, importable exactly once and only back into Octo Browser. 6
Even. Neither export is a portable profile: GoLogin's leaves out cookies and fingerprints; Octo Browser's opens only in Octo Browser.
Free tier
Edge: GoLogin
Three profiles, listed without profile sharing or team-member access. 7
None. The cheapest rung is a paid plan carrying three profiles. 8
GoLogin has a free plan with three profiles. Octo Browser has none.
Arriving from another product
Edge: GoLogin
A Transfer Profiles tool that pulls from Multilogin, Dolphin Anty and Incogniton, carrying profiles, cookies and proxy settings, with new fingerprints assigned on arrival. 9
None. The vendor states that fully automatic transfer from other antidetect browsers is not available, that cookies move manually or by API, and that profile settings must be recreated. 10
GoLogin has an import tool. Octo Browser says profile settings must be recreated by hand.
Automation and seats
Edge: GoLogin
An API on every paid plan, rated at 300, 500, 800 and 1,200 requests per minute, with one team member on each of the four. 7
No API on the two cheapest plans; it starts at €79 per month with 50 requests per minute, rising to 100 and 200. Team seats start at the €169 plan. 8
GoLogin includes an API on every paid plan. Octo Browser's API and seats start on higher plans.
Published source code
Even
No open-source licence or public repository is named on the homepage or the pricing page. 11
The licence agreement scopes itself around the software excluding its source code and forbids reverse engineering. 12
Even. Neither names an open-source licence or a public code repository.

Where do the profiles live?
Where each product stores your profiles, and what happens to them when you stop paying. Donut Browser is shown for reference.
- GoLogin
- Cloud only. Profiles synchronise to GoLogin's servers; the on-disk folders are temporary and the vendor calls them safe to delete.
- Octo Browser
- Cloud only. Profiles live in the Octo account rather than on the machine, and the vendor documents no local-only mode.
- Donut Browser
- Local only, unless you turn on sync for a profile. The sync server is open source, so you can host your own.
If you stop paying
- GoLogin Kept 180 days after the subscription expires, then permanently deleted.
- Octo Browser Kept 6 months without an active subscription, then every profile in the account is deleted.
- Donut Browser Nothing to delete. No second copy exists.
