Select a row for the details. ## Multilogin or Octo Browser: which should you pick? ### Pick Multilogin if You want the choice to keep profiles on your own machine, a free plan, and a team seat on the smallest paid plan. ### Pick Octo Browser if You want the newest published engine, and cloud-only storage is fine for you. **If neither fits:** Both exports are encrypted and open only in the same product. If you want profiles you can move freely, neither fits. ## Multilogin 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. ### Can a profile stay on your machine? Edge: Multilogin Multilogin Yes. Cloud or local is a per-profile choice, convertible either way, with the on-disk paths published. Mobile profiles are the exception and are always cloud. 1 Octo Browser No. Storage is cloud only, no local-only mode is documented, and the device keeps a page cache rather than the profile. 2 The clearest split: only Multilogin lets a profile stay on your machine. ### Engine version, as published Edge: Octo Browser Multilogin Mimic took the 150 core on 14 July 2026. The second engine, Stealthfox, has been frozen at the Firefox 146 core since December 2025 and was declared legacy in January 2026. 3 Octo Browser Octium took Chromium 151 on 30 July 2026, and no Gecko engine has ever existed. 4 Close. Octo Browser's published engine is one major version newer, and Multilogin's Firefox-based engine is now legacy. ### What an export actually is Edge: Multilogin Multilogin An encrypted archive, account owner only, ten profiles per operation, which the vendor states can only be imported back into Multilogin. 5 Octo Browser An encrypted file carrying fingerprint, cookies and proxy, which costs half a token per profile, imports exactly once and drops extensions. 6 Both exports are encrypted and open only in the same product. Octo Browser also charges per profile and allows one import per file. ### The clock that starts when you stop paying Edge: Octo Browser Multilogin Data may be permanently deleted 3 months after the subscription is terminated. 7 Octo Browser Six months without an active subscription, then every profile in the account is deleted. Deleted profiles keep a 72-hour trash bin. 8 Octo Browser's window is twice as long, and it also documents a 72-hour trash bin. ### Free tier Edge: Multilogin Multilogin Five profiles, with no time limit and no card required. 9 Octo Browser None. The cheapest rung is a paid plan carrying three profiles. 10 Multilogin has a free plan with no card required. Octo Browser has no free plan. ### Team seats Edge: Multilogin Multilogin One, two and five seats across the Pro plans, and unlimited seats from the Business plans up. 9 Octo Browser Zero seats on the three cheapest plans, three on the €169 Team plan with up to three more, and eight on Advanced. 10 Multilogin includes a seat on its smallest paid plan. Octo Browser's seats start on the €169 Team plan. ### Published source code Even Multilogin No open-source licence or public repository is named on the homepage or the pricing page. 11 Octo Browser 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. ## Which Chromium version does each one run? From each vendor's own release notes.
