Gologin vs Octo Browser 2026: Prices, Trials and Features

Gologin and Octo Browser both sell isolated browser profiles, but their price ladders and entry terms differ more than their feature lists do. Gologin starts with a free plan of 3 profiles and a 7-day trial of paid features. Octo has no free desktop plan, and its cheapest tier, Lite, costs €10/month for 3 profiles. Gologin's own site is where the first set of figures below comes from, and Octo's from octobrowser.net/pricing, both read in November 2026. Gologin comes out ahead on cost per profile, on how cheaply you can test it, and on cloud and platform coverage. Octo keeps real advantages in stated seat counts, a published API rate limit and a Starter plan that scales to 30 profiles with add-ons. The sections below take one dimension at a time and name a winner for each.

Gologin costs less at 10, 100 and roughly 1,000 profiles

At 10 profiles, Gologin's Professional plan costs $9/month while Octo's Starter plan costs €29/month. Octo's Lite plan at €10/month is cheaper than Starter, but it covers only 3 profiles, which is the amount Gologin gives away on its free plan. Per profile, that is roughly $0.90 against €2.90 at the 10-profile mark, and the plans are priced in different currencies, so nobody should treat that as an exact ratio. The gap is wide enough that exchange-rate movement is unlikely to close it.

At 100 profiles Octo's Base plan is €79/month, which includes 100 profiles and stretches to 200 with paid add-ons. Gologin sells the same Professional plan in 25, 50 and 100-profile steps, and its pricing page shows the figure for the step you pick, so read it there rather than relying on a number in an article. Gologin's published tiers at larger counts are easier to line up: Business is $99/month for 300 profiles, with a 500-profile option, and Octo's Team plan is €169/month for 350 profiles, expandable to 600 with add-ons.

The top end follows the same pattern. Gologin Enterprise is $179/month for 1,000 profiles. Octo Advanced is €329/month for 1,200 profiles. Octo does include more profiles at that rung, and that is worth stating plainly. Even so, the per-profile cost works out to about $0.18 on Gologin and about €0.27 on Octo. Gologin's Custom plan then continues from 2,000 profiles at $279/month and goes up to 100,000 profiles, which matters if your volume will outgrow a four-digit count.

Two notes on reading these figures. Octo's pricing page says its prices exclude VAT, and Gologin's plan list does not state a VAT treatment, so a buyer in the EU should compare the checkout totals rather than the headline numbers. And since the two vendors quote in different currencies, the sensible comparison is within each vendor's own ladder: how much does each extra batch of profiles cost? Gologin's ladder gets cheaper per profile faster than Octo's does.

Winner on price: Gologin. Gologin's one price-side drawback is that its entry tier is sold in profile-count steps, so reaching the 100-profile step takes a deliberate choice on the pricing page rather than a single fixed plan.

Gologin's yearly discount is deeper and applies to every paid plan

Gologin lists a 50% reduction on yearly billing across its paid plans, while Octo's 12-month billing takes roughly 28% to 30% off. The listed figures show this clearly. Gologin Professional drops from $9 to $4.50 per month, Business from $99 to $49.50, Enterprise from $179 to $89.50 and Custom from $279 to $139.50. On Octo, Lite goes from €10 to €7, Starter from €29 to €21 and Base from €79 to €56.

Applied to the same 100-profile scale, Octo Base on 12-month billing works out to €0.56 per profile per month. At 1,000 profiles, Gologin Enterprise billed annually comes to about $0.09 per profile. Again, different currencies, so these are not a ratio. They do show that the longer you commit, the more the structural difference between the two price ladders widens rather than narrows.

A long commitment has its own risk. Paying for 12 months up front on any antidetect browser means you have chosen it before you know how it behaves with your proxies, your targets and your team. Octo's 2-day trial makes that gamble larger than Gologin's free plan and 7-day trial do. Take the monthly price for the first billing cycle, run your real workload, and move to annual billing only after that.

Winner on billing: Gologin, for the larger discount. Octo's advantage here is modest: it publishes a 12-month price for each of its entry tiers, so the saving is easy to read off the page.

Gologin lets you test for free; Octo's trial is short and code-gated

Gologin has a free plan of 3 profiles with no expiry, plus a 7-day trial of paid features. Octo has no free desktop plan. According to Octo's pricing page, its trial lasts 2 days, runs on the Starter plan and is unlocked with a promo code.

Two days is a tight window for an honest evaluation. Starter covers 10 profiles, so you can check that the browser runs, that your proxies connect and that your login flows work. It is not much time to learn how profiles behave over several sessions, how a teammate would share them, or how stable things are across days of use. Anything that sits on Base or higher, such as the 50-requests-per-minute API, cannot be exercised in a Starter trial at all, according to the plan list.

Gologin's free plan has its own limits, and they are real. It caps you at 3 profiles, and the plan description notes no profile sharing and no team members. If your reason for buying is team workflow, the free plan will not show you that part of the product, which is why the 7-day trial of paid features exists. Use the trial for team and automation checks and the free plan for long-term, low-stakes experiments, such as letting a profile age for a few weeks.

Winner on trying before buying: Gologin, clearly. A permanent free plan means you can keep a small account set alive and compare it against your current tooling without a payment on file, whereas Octo's only free route expires in 48 hours.

Gologin has the broader documented automation toolkit

Gologin documents an API along with Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright and headless support. Octo's pricing page ties its API to the Base plan at €79/month and states a rate limit of 50 requests per minute; Lite, at €10/month, has no API.

Octo's contribution here is clarity. A published request rate lets you size a bulk job before you buy: at 50 requests per minute, creating or starting several hundred profiles through the API is a matter of minutes, not seconds, and you can plan scripts around that. Gologin's listing is broader in the frameworks it names but the exact tier at which each automation feature unlocks is something to confirm on gologin.com/pricing before you commit, because the free plan and the lowest paid tier may differ from the higher ones.

For a small team writing its own scripts, this means the entry cost of automation is the main difference. On Octo you must be on the €79/month Base plan to get the API at all, which is a big step up from Lite and Starter. On Gologin, the entry plans are priced much lower, so the barrier to a first automation experiment is lower, even if you end up on a higher tier for production.

Winner on automation: Gologin, narrowly, on breadth of documented frameworks and a lower overall price to reach them. Octo is ahead on one thing: it states its throughput limit openly.

Gologin covers more platforms and runs profiles in the cloud

Gologin ships for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android and also offers a Cloud Browser that runs profiles in the cloud with nothing installed. Profiles are stored in the cloud as well, and sharing them with team members is available on every paid plan.

That combination changes how a team works. A profile created by one person can be opened by another without exporting files, and a Cloud Browser session can run from a laptop that has none of your tools installed. Gologin's Android support also covers people who need mobile-environment profiles without maintaining separate devices. Octo's operating-system list and mobile options are on its own download page, and anyone who needs a particular platform should check it there before paying.

The trade-off of cloud profiles is that your profile data lives on the vendor's servers. For some workflows that is a convenience; for others, such as accounts that handle sensitive credentials, it is a risk worth weighing. Gologin's cloud model suits distributed teams better, while a strictly local setup suits people who do not want profile data leaving their machine.

Winner on platform coverage and cloud access: Gologin, on the documented evidence of four operating systems plus a web-launched Cloud Browser.

Octo states its team seats outright; Gologin scales profiles further

Octo's plans carry explicit seat counts: Team includes 3 members and Advanced includes 8. Gologin lists team features on every paid plan and sells much larger profile counts, from 300 on Business to 1,000 on Enterprise and 2,000 and beyond on Custom, which scales up to 100,000 profiles.

A published seat number is a genuine convenience. An agency that knows it needs three people on one subscription can see that Octo's Team plan at €169/month covers 350 profiles and three members, and plan from there. Gologin's plan list shown here does not break out seat counts per tier, so a buyer with a specific headcount should confirm it on the pricing page. Gologin also notes that its free plan has no team members and no profile sharing, so collaboration starts at the first paid tier.

The scale question points the other way. If you expect to pass 1,200 profiles, Octo's published ladder ends at Advanced and you would have to talk to the vendor, whereas Gologin lists plans up to 100,000. For most buyers, the practical number is smaller: 100 to 350 profiles, where Gologin's $99 for 300 against Octo's €169 for 350 sets the price difference.

Winner on scaling: Gologin, for headroom and per-profile cost. Octo wins only on how plainly it states seats.

Passing public fingerprint checkers does not decide this match

Public checkers such as Pixelscan, Iphey and CreepJS test a browser at a single moment, so a pass on them does not predict how accounts will fare on a platform. Real detection depends on factors that those tools never see: the proxy's reputation, how often the account logs in, behavior inside the site and the history of the profile.

Both products are Chromium-based antidetect tools, and Gologin lists Chromium as its base. Browser build versions change on each vendor's own release schedule, so any snapshot of which one is ahead on a given day goes stale within weeks. It is not a reliable reason to choose a product for a year-long subscription.

The sensible procedure is a pilot. Create a small batch of profiles in each product, attach the same type of proxy to each, run your real target sites for a couple of weeks and track account survival. Gologin's free plan makes this experiment cost nothing for the first 3 profiles, while the equivalent trial on Octo is limited to 2 days.

Winner on detection resistance: no one can be named from public checker results alone. Winner on the cost of finding out for yourself: Gologin.
