[Home](https://donutbrowser.com/) 2. [Comparisons](https://donutbrowser.com/vs/) 3. Multilogin vs Octo Browser Head-to-head Searched as “multilogin vs octo browser” # Multilogin vs Octo Browser The two vendors here publish dated engine notes within a fortnight of each other, so this one turns on whether a profile can sit on your own machine and what an export is worth once you hold it. This page takes 7 decisions one at a time and prints the call under each, with the vendor page it came from and the day it was read — August 9, 2026. Donut Browser publishes it and sells neither side, so the recommendation at the end names one of these two. Disclosure Donut Browser publishes this page. It is an antidetect browser, so it competes with both Multilogin and Octo Browser — and it earns nothing from which of the two you choose, which is why the comparison below has two columns rather than three. Donut Browser appears once, near the bottom, labelled as the publisher. Published by Donut Browser Stake in the call Sells neither Multilogin nor Octo Browser Sourced claims 14, each linked Vendor pages read August 9, 2026 How the 7 axes fall Multilogin Draw Octo Browser 1.

Published source code **4** Multilogin **1** Draw **2** Octo Browser Axes are not weighted, and no total is printed, because "free tier" and "published source code" do not trade against each other one for one for any real reader. Read the rows that matter to your work and ignore the rest. “Multilogin vs Octo Browser” is not really a question about features. Both products do broadly the same thing and anybody typing it has already worked that out; what they want is the one difference that will still matter in six months — and some reason to believe the person telling them is not paid to prefer an answer. So this page is organised as a series of decisions rather than as a table. Each one asks a question you might genuinely be deciding on, puts what each vendor's own page says beside it, and makes a call. Where the honest call is that the two are the same, it says that instead. > Key Takeaways > - The two vendors here publish dated engine notes within a fortnight of each other, so this one turns on whether a profile can sit on your own machine and what an export is worth once you hold it. > - The clearest split in the matchup, and the reason a buyer picks one of these over the other before reading anything else. > - 7 decisions, 14 citations.

That is why it can print “this could not be established” where a pricing table was ambiguous, and why the recommendation at the end names one of these two rather than a third product. ## Multilogin vs Octo Browser: which one should you pick? Follow the tree. Each fork is one decision, the two branches are what Multilogin and Octo Browser actually do about it, and the call underneath is the referee's — sourced, dated, and sometimes “a draw”. It resolves at the bottom into who each product is for; the same 7 decisions are then taken again, in full and with their citations, in the section after it. Start here Which of these decisions is yours? The two vendors here publish dated engine notes within a fortnight of each other, so this one turns on whether a profile can sit on your own machine and what an export is worth once you hold it. Can a profile stay on your machine? How do Multilogin and Octo Browser compare on can a profile stay on your machine?? 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. Octo Browser No. Storage is cloud only, no local-only mode is documented, and the device keeps a page cache rather than the profile. The call The clearest split in the matchup, and the reason a buyer picks one of these over the other before reading anything else. Engine version, as published How do Multilogin and Octo Browser compare on engine version, as published? 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. Octo Browser Octium took Chromium 151 on 30 July 2026, and no Gecko engine has ever existed. The call The closest engine race in the bracket. Octo Browser is level with Chrome stable and dated a fortnight later; Multilogin is one major behind and down to one live engine. What an export actually is How do Multilogin and Octo Browser compare on what an export actually is? Multilogin An encrypted archive, account owner only, ten profiles per operation, which the vendor states can only be imported back into Multilogin. Octo Browser An encrypted file carrying fingerprint, cookies and proxy, which costs half a token per profile, imports exactly once and drops extensions. The call Almost the same lock on both doors. The difference is that Octo Browser charges you to turn the key and lets each file through only once. The clock that starts when you stop paying How do Multilogin and Octo Browser compare on the clock that starts when you stop paying? Multilogin Data may be permanently deleted 3 months after the subscription is terminated. Octo Browser Six months without an active subscription, then every profile in the account is deleted. Deleted profiles keep a 72-hour trash bin. The call Octo Browser's window is twice as long and it is the only one of the two that also documents a recovery bin. Free tier Which free tier is actually worth using? Multilogin Five profiles, with no time limit and no card required. Octo Browser None. The cheapest rung is a paid plan carrying three profiles. The call One of these can be tried without a card and the other cannot be tried at all without paying. Team seats Which one handles team seats better? Multilogin One, two and five seats across the Pro plans, and unlimited seats from the Business plans up. Octo Browser Zero seats on the three cheapest plans, three on the €169 Team plan with up to three more, and eight on Advanced. The call Multilogin's smallest paid plan already carries a seat. Octo Browser's first three carry none, so a second person is a two-rung climb. Published source code Can you read either one's source code? Multilogin No open-source licence or public repository is named on the homepage or the pricing page. Octo Browser The licence agreement scopes itself around the software excluding its source code and forbids reverse engineering. The call A draw, and the axis on which every antidetect browser in this bracket looks alike: you are asked to trust a binary you cannot read. Where it resolves Pick Multilogin if… Choose Multilogin where the calls above name it. This matchup has no written summary yet, so rather than invent one, the page sends you back to the decisions. Pick Octo Browser if… Choose Octo Browser where the calls above name it. This matchup has no written summary yet, so rather than invent one, the page sends you back to the decisions. The tree lights up as you scroll and resolves at the bottom. With motion switched off, or with no JavaScript at all, it is simply shown resolved. Nothing in it is a score: each call is a sentence about two cited cells, and the calls are never added up, because weighting one decision against another is the reader's job and not the publisher's. ## Which Chromium is each one running? Both are patched Chromium builds, and neither is on the current one. This is the axis where the two are easiest to check and hardest to argue about: the vendor publishes a number, or it does not. Chromium major version, read from each vendor's own release notes 1. Multilogin _Mimic_ 150 2. Octo Browser _Octium_ 151 3. Donut Browser _Wayfern_ 150 4. Google Chrome _upstream_ 151 Chrome stable 151 Chrome stable was 151 on August 9, 2026. Donut Browser is in the chart because leaving it out of a measurement it also fails would be the kind of quiet edit this page exists not to make. ## Where do the profiles actually live? The axis neither vendor puts on its pricing page, and the one that decides what you still have on the day you stop paying. Where the profile sleeps The vendor's cloud Your own disk **Multilogin** **Octo Browser** **Donut Browser** Multilogin Your choice per profile: cloud or local, convertible either way. Mobile profiles are always cloud. 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 sync on. Sync is opt-in per profile and the server is open source, so you can run your own. If you stop paying - **Multilogin** Cloud data may be permanently deleted 3 months after the subscription ends. - **Octo Browser** Kept 6 months without an active subscription, then every profile in the account is deleted. - **Donut Browser** Nothing to delete. There was never a second copy. Read from each vendor's own documentation on August 9, 2026. Donut Browser is on the axis for the same reason it is in the engine chart: a referee that measures two products and hides its own position is not refereeing. ## Which decisions actually separate Multilogin and Octo Browser? One section per decision, in the order a buyer meets them. Every cell restates something on a page that was opened on August 9, 2026 and links to it; the call under each is a judgement about those two cells and nothing else.

Two things belong in a comparison that can be checked: what was established, and what was not. This is the second — listed rather than filled in, because a comparison that quietly guesses at the two or three values it could not read is indistinguishable from one that guessed at all of them. None of the cells above records a value that could not be read: on this pairing, both vendors' pages answered every question the comparison put to them. What the page still declines to claim is below. Not claimed anywhere on this page - No ratings, review counts or awards for either product. There is no rating data anywhere in this project, so publishing a number would mean inventing one. - No detection or ban-rate results. Testing either product against a detection suite needs a paid account on both, and no such test was run. - No support-quality, uptime or refund claims. Nothing on the pages read establishes any of them. - No tick-and-cross feature matrix. Every tick is a claim about somebody else's product, and a matrix is where unchecked claims hide. - No quotes from Reddit, Trustpilot or a review site. None was read, and paraphrasing one would put an unverifiable sentence on a page whose whole argument is that its sentences can be checked. ## How was this Multilogin vs Octo Browser comparison checked? 14 citations, grouped by whose site they came from, most recently read on August 9, 2026. Each is a sentence restating what that page said, the page itself, and the date — so a figure that changes tomorrow can be caught by anybody, not only by whoever wrote this. Multilogin 1.

Publisher's disclosure Multilogin lets you pick local, Octo Browser does not offer it, and both wrap an export in encryption only they can open. Donut Browser has nothing to export because the profile is already a directory you own, and its source is on GitHub under AGPL-3.0. That is the entire pitch on this page, and it is at the bottom on purpose: a comparison that turns into an advertisement halfway through is worth nothing to the person reading it, and this one had a choice about whether to be one. The Donut Browser app is on GitHub under AGPL-3.0, its free tier needs no account, and its prices are printed. - [Open source antidetect browser](https://donutbrowser.com/open-source-antidetect-browser) - [Pricing](https://donutbrowser.com/pricing) - [Switching guides](https://donutbrowser.com/alternatives/) ## What else do buyers ask about these two? Is Multilogin or Octo Browser better? Neither, taken as a whole product — and any page that answers that in one word is selling one of them. Across the 7 decisions above the calls go both ways, and at least one is a genuine draw. The useful question is which single decision is yours: what the free tier is worth, how profiles are metered, what a second person costs, or which engines are named. Find that one, read its call, and ignore the rest of the page. Which free tier is bigger, Multilogin or Octo Browser? Both publish one, and they are not the same size. What each vendor's own page said when it was read on August 9, 2026: Multilogin: Five profiles, with no time limit and no card required. Octo Browser: None. The cheapest rung is a paid plan carrying three profiles. One of these can be tried without a card and the other cannot be tried at all without paying. Which is better for a team, Multilogin or Octo Browser? This is the decision that most often settles it, because a second person is either a purchase or an impossibility: Multilogin: One, two and five seats across the Pro plans, and unlimited seats from the Business plans up. Octo Browser: Zero seats on the three cheapest plans, three on the €169 Team plan with up to three more, and eight on Advanced. Multilogin's smallest paid plan already carries a seat. Octo Browser's first three carry none, so a second person is a two-rung climb. Is Multilogin or Octo Browser open source? Neither states an open-source licence or a public source repository on the pages read for this comparison: Multilogin: No open-source licence or public repository is named on the homepage or the pricing page. Octo Browser: The licence agreement scopes itself around the software excluding its source code and forbids reverse engineering. A draw, and the axis on which every antidetect browser in this bracket looks alike: you are asked to trust a binary you cannot read. Who wrote this comparison, and what do they get out of it? Donut Browser, which is an antidetect browser and therefore a competitor to both. It sells nothing on behalf of Multilogin or Octo Browser and earns nothing from which one you pick, which is the only reason a vendor-published comparison is worth reading at all. What it gets is this page. Every claim above links to the vendor's own page and carries the day it was read, so none of it has to be taken on trust. ## Multilogin vs Octo Browser: who is each one actually for? The calls above split, which is the normal outcome of an honest comparison and a better answer than a single winner would be. Here is the short version of each, and what to do if neither of them is it. ### Pick Multilogin if… Choose Multilogin where the calls above name it. This matchup has no written summary yet, so rather than invent one, the page sends you back to the decisions. multilogin.com ### Pick Octo Browser if… Choose Octo Browser where the calls above name it. This matchup has no written summary yet, so rather than invent one, the page sends you back to the decisions. octobrowser.net ### If neither fits If the calls above split evenly for you, the decision is not between these two — it is about what shape of product you want, and the publisher's section describes a different one.
