GoLogin Overview

GoLogin is a popular anti-detect browser that is supported on Windows, Linux and macOS (Intel / Apple silicon). There is also an Android multi-tool, which allows launching a single profile.

We should also mention the cloud web version of the browser, where depending on the subscription you can run from one to four profiles simultaneously. This is a handy feature if you need to quickly launch a profile on a device that doesn’t have an anti-detect browser installed. From here on we will compare only the desktop versions of the two browsers.

On the first launch the profile list already includes five pre-installed profiles with trial proxies and 0.5 GB of available traffic. Users can purchase mobile, residential, and datacenter proxies in GoLogin directly.

GoLogin provides an easy start for newcomers: you can begin working immediately without configuring profiles or connecting proxies.

Let’s compare GoLogin and Octo Browser by their key characteristics.

Interface and main features

The profile list in both browsers displays all necessary information: profile names, their status, notes, and connected proxies. The list can be customized by adding extra columns. Many profile actions in both GoLogin and Octo Browser can be performed directly from the list.

In GoLogin profiles are organized using workspaces, statuses, tags, and folders. Filtering profiles by tags may feel unfamiliar: the filter is built into the list header and you cannot select multiple parameters at once. With a large number of profiles in a folder such kind of filtering can be inconvenient.

Octo uses tags and flexible profile filtering for organizing profiles.

Both anti-detect browsers let you buy proxy traffic directly. In GoLogin you cannot choose providers yourself, but you can buy proxies of the required type: residential, mobile, and datacenter. Octo Browser’s Proxy Shop currently only offers residential proxies from several verified providers. You can select a provider whose proxy pool fits your tasks best.

Additionally, on startup GoLogin offers proxies with a small amount of free traffic you can use to test the browser and make initial profile launches.

For quick profile creation, GoLogin allows pre-setting default configurations, but only one can be saved at a time, requiring manual adjustments when switching setups. In Octo Browser, this function is handled by templates, which can be customized for different needs and applied when creating either standard or quick profiles.

Let’s summarize the strengths and weaknesses of GoLogin and Octo Browser interfaces:

Fingerprint Spoofing

The most important aspect when comparing anti-detect browsers is fingerprint quality. In both browsers, the digital fingerprint is generated based on unique devices. However, GoLogin may use an outdated browser kernel version due to delays in releasing updates. Octo Browser profiles run on the most up-to-date kernel version, which greatly reduces the risk of detection and bans.

The main profile settings in Octo and GoLogin are similar, but there are differences in how settings are organized and in the list of fingerprint parameters. In Octo the process of editing and creating a profile is more consistent: tabs are clearly grouped and there is no awkward horizontal scrolling.

Available Profile Actions and Bulk Operations

Both browsers offer a similar set of actions and a built-in cookie robot for quick profile preparation (GoLogin has slightly more features here). Octo Browser’s advantages are a detailed profile history, convenient bulk extension management, and the ability to protect profiles with passwords. GoLogin’s distinguishing features include bulk profile renaming and fingerprint updates.

GoLogin also has a profiles’ actions synchronizer (currently in beta). This tool saves time on repetitive actions performed across different profiles. However, websites quickly detect accounts with repeating actions, so use the synchronizer only with profiles whose lifetime you don’t care about.

Teamwork

In GoLogin, you can grant access permissions to:

• Selected folders;

• The entire workspace.

Team members with access to profiles can either:

• Only launch profiles;

• Launch and edit profiles;

• Have full access: launch, edit, transfer, and move profiles and folders, and invite new users.

Granting access to team members in GoLogin

In Octo Browser, the team access rights configuration system is more flexible: you can specify which functions and tags a new team member will have access to, as well as set different permission levels within specific functions.

A team member can be granted access to:

• Profiles;

• Proxies;

• Templates;

• Extensions.

Tags can also be used as another access parameter. A new team member can be granted access only to profiles marked with specific tags.

A key feature of Octo Browser is the Action Log, which allows you to track all profile activities and see who made what changes. This makes teamwork even more transparent.

Automation

Browser automation can help you save time on routine tasks, especially if you are working with a large number of profiles.

Octo Browser offers detailed automation documentation, and in some of our articles, such as the one covering working with an anti-detect browser on Twitch, we provide example code for mass profile creation using the API. You can also use the API to create one-time profiles for tasks that require a clean browser fingerprint.

GoLogin also supports API and provides detailed documentation. Automation functions for exporting browser history and cookies, as well as for cloning profiles are available.

Kernel Update Speed

Anti-detect browsers must update their kernel promptly, so that your profiles do not stand out among regular Chrome users.

At the time of writing, the latest browser kernel version in GoLogin is 140, while Octo Browser has already been updated to the latest 141 version.

This lag can play a critical role, since most regular Google Chrome users have already updated their browsers. As a result, GoLogin users operate on an outdated kernel, which may lower the trust level of their accounts and contain vulnerabilities.

User Data Security

You can enable 2FA for account data security in GoLogin, which protects against unauthorized access or password brute-forcing. It is also possible to log out of all active sessions except the one currently running on the device.

Octo Browser also offers 2FA, user data is securely encrypted by default, and additional passwords can be set for selected profiles.

Documentation and Support

Learning the ropes of an anti-detect browser is made easier not only by an intuitive interface but also by responsive support and detailed documentation. Octo offers support widgets in the browser and on the website, a Telegram bot, and a robust Learning Center. It contains documentation, manuals, and video guides in English, Russian, and Portuguese.

GoLogin’s documentation is not as detailed, and most materials are available only in English. You can contact support via a website widget, a Telegram bot, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger.

Pricing

Choosing an anti-detect browser often depends not only on its features but also on the subscription cost. GoLogin and Octo use different subscription models, so it's not easy to definitively say which browser is more cost-effective in terms of quality and resources it provides for the price.

GoLogin offers four subscription plans: Professional, Business, Enterprise, and Custom; a 50% discount for annual payments is also available. The basic subscription includes 100 profiles; there is also a free subscription offering 3 profiles.

GoLogin Subscriptions

New GoLogin users are offered a 7-day trial period during which they can use up to 1,000 profiles.

Octo Browser features a more flexible pricing system with five subscription tiers: Lite, Starter, Base, Team, and Advanced. Each offers a different number of available resources. Depending on your subscription tier, you can add more profiles, expand your team, and increase API limits. The most affordable Lite plan includes three profiles for €10 per month.

Octo Browser Subscriptions

In Octo, you can also choose to pay upfront for 3, 6, or 12 months and receive a corresponding discount. In the Partners section, you’ll find even more interesting offers.

Both browsers offer referral programs that allow loyal users to earn money. GoLogin pays 10% of the referrals’ purchases, while Octo offers 15% of all payments made by invited users. You can estimate your potential earnings with Octo using a dedicated calculator.

Conclusion

Comparing different aspects of the anti-detect browsers GoLogin and Octo, we concluded that GoLogin attracts users with its slightly lower price and a trial period. It has some useful features such as the synchronizer, but its slow update speeds may cause significant issues across various services.

Octo Browser, on the other hand, offers affiliate marketing teams and agencies flexible subscription terms and affordable pricing for teamwork options. Moreover, by choosing Octo, you get high-quality fingerprints, timely and regular browser kernel updates, high-quality built-in proxies, profile templates, responsive support, and unique features that competitors lack.
