Gologin and Nstbrowser both sell managed browser profiles, but they charge for different things: Gologin prices the number of profiles you keep, while Nstbrowser prices how many times per day you start them. That one difference decides which tool is cheaper for a given workload, and it matters more than any headline feature. This comparison uses the plan figures on each vendor's pricing page as of November 2026, works through three example workloads, and then covers free plans, trials, automation, team features and platform coverage. For most readers running a few dozen to a few hundred accounts, Gologin is the better pick. The exception is a very large library of rarely opened profiles, where Nstbrowser's licence price is lower.

Nstbrowser meters launches, Gologin meters profiles
Gologin's plans are sized by how many profiles you can store, and Nstbrowser's are sized by how many times per day you can start one. That is the whole pricing story in one sentence, and on this dimension Gologin's model is the easier one to budget.
Nstbrowser's pricing page lists 30 profile launches a day on the Free plan, 3,000 on Starter, 20,000 on Growth and 50,000 on Scale. The profile counts attached to those tiers are far larger than anything a person could open by hand: 500, 20,000, 100,000 and 500,000. In practice the profile count is rarely the constraint. The launch counter is. An account you open five times in a day uses five launches, and a scheduled job that restarts the same profile every few minutes can burn through a daily quota quickly.
Gologin works the other way around. Its pricing page sells Free with 3 profiles, Professional with 10, Business with 300, Enterprise with 1,000 and a Custom tier from 2,000 profiles that goes up to 100,000. The Professional plan is also sold with 25, 50 or 100 profiles at higher prices. You pay for the size of your account inventory, and the plan does not change depending on how often you open those accounts.
Neither model is better in the abstract. A per-launch meter rewards people who keep a huge catalogue and touch most of it rarely. A per-profile price rewards people who work a modest set of accounts all day. Which describes you is the first question to answer before comparing any price below.
Entry-level price: $9 a month against $29.90
Gologin's cheapest paid plan costs $9 a month, against $29.90 for Nstbrowser's Starter, and Gologin wins this comparison for anyone with a small account inventory. Gologin Professional includes 10 profiles. Billed annually it drops to $4.50 a month, which the pricing page describes as 50% off.
Nstbrowser Starter includes 3,000 profile launches a day, 20,000 profiles, 20 team members and 1 GB each of residential, IPv6 and datacenter proxy traffic. Overage on launches and on proxy traffic is billed per launch and per GB, so $29.90 is the floor of the bill and not necessarily the total. The Starter plan buys far more headroom than a ten-profile operator can use, which is why the sticker difference looks large for small users.
Over twelve months on monthly billing, Nstbrowser Starter comes to $358.80 and Gologin Professional to $108. On Gologin's annual billing the same year costs $54. The gap is $20.90 a month on monthly billing. For a freelancer or a two-person team running ten accounts, that is real money for headroom they will not use.
Nstbrowser also has a $0 Free plan, and a user who launches fewer than 30 profiles a day may never pay anything beyond proxy costs. That makes the true entry price for very light users lower than Gologin's $9. The catch is the cap, covered in the free plan section below.
Three workloads priced on both plans
At 10 profiles, Gologin is the cheaper paid option; at 300 and at 20,000 profiles, Nstbrowser's licence price is lower. Working through the three sizes shows where each billing model pays off.
Ten profiles opened a few times a day: that is 30 to 50 launches. Gologin Professional costs $9 a month, or $4.50 on annual billing. Nstbrowser's Free plan covers only 30 launches a day, so a user at the upper end of this range would move to Starter at $29.90. If the workload stays under 30 launches, Nstbrowser Free costs nothing, but any day over the cap falls into pay-as-you-go billing. Gologin's counterpoint is a fixed number that does not move with usage.
Three hundred profiles, each opened once a day: that is about 300 launches, well inside Starter's 3,000. Nstbrowser Starter at $29.90 undercuts Gologin Business at $99 a month ($49.50 on annual billing). This is the clearest case where Nstbrowser's model is cheaper on paper. Gologin's counterpoint is that Business ships with cloud profiles and team sharing, and the monthly figure stays the same however often those 300 profiles are opened, while Nstbrowser's overage charges are open-ended.
Twenty thousand profiles, mostly dormant: Nstbrowser Starter holds 20,000 profiles at $29.90. Gologin's published tiers reach 1,000 profiles at $179 a month on Enterprise and 2,000 or more from $279 on Custom. For a vast library that is rarely opened, the per-launch meter is the cheaper structure by a wide margin.
Most buyers sit nearer the first case than the third. Teams running tens of accounts for ad operations, marketplaces or social channels rarely hold thousands of idle profiles. For that majority, Gologin's lower entry price and fixed bill hold up. Proxy spending, extra seats and add-ons are outside these examples and will change the totals on either side.
Free plans: 500 profiles with a launch cap against 3 profiles with no cap stated
Nstbrowser's free plan is larger on paper, but its 30-launch daily cap makes it a metered sandbox, and Gologin's smaller free plan is the more useful evaluation tool. This is the one place where Nstbrowser's profile count is far ahead: 500 profiles against Gologin's 3.
The Nstbrowser Free plan is listed as pay as you go. It allows 30 profile launches a day and 3 team members, and launches and proxy traffic are billed on top of the free allowance. Thirty launches is enough to open thirty accounts once, or ten accounts three times. It is not enough to run a scheduled automation job or to rotate through a few hundred accounts in a working day. The 500-profile figure describes storage, not usable throughput.
Gologin's Free plan gives 3 profiles forever, with no profile sharing and no team members. The ceiling is obvious and low, and anyone managing more than three accounts will outgrow it on the first day. What it offers is a stable place to learn the interface, test a proxy setup and check how a target site responds to a profile, without a meter running.
If your goal is to test whether a tool works for your workflow, Gologin's free plan plus its trial is the cleaner route. If your goal is to park hundreds of profiles at no cost and open a handful each day, Nstbrowser's free plan fits that narrower use. Older anecdotal reports of different Nstbrowser free limits exist online; the pricing page figures above are the current ones.
Trial policy: 7 days of paid features on Gologin
Gologin offers a 7-day trial of paid features, and that gives it the edge for anyone who wants to test team sharing or a larger profile limit before paying. The trial sits on top of the permanent 3-profile free plan, so a user can keep working with the free tier once the seven days end.
Nstbrowser's pricing page describes its free plan as pay as you go, and no separate trial of paid features is listed. To try the higher launch limits you would buy Starter at $29.90 a month. For a solo user that is a larger commitment than Gologin's $9 entry plan, which can be bought, tested and cancelled for a much smaller outlay.
A trial matters most for features that are hard to judge from a pricing table: how cloud profile syncing behaves, how a teammate sees a shared profile, how long the first launch of a new profile takes on your own hardware. Seven days is short for a team rollout but enough to run a real workflow end to end on a few accounts.
Automation: framework coverage against launch quotas
For small and mid-sized automation, Gologin is the safer choice because its framework support is documented and its cost does not scale with launches. For automation that restarts profiles thousands of times a day, Nstbrowser's quota ladder is built around exactly that.
Gologin supports Selenium, Puppeteer and Playwright, offers headless operation and exposes an API for starting and controlling profiles. Which API features are available on which plan is set out on Gologin's pricing page, and anyone planning to automate on a low tier should confirm that before buying. Gologin's flat per-profile pricing means a script that reopens a profile twenty times a day costs no more than one that opens it once.
For Nstbrowser, the relevant fact from the pricing page is the launch ceiling: 3,000 a day on Starter, 20,000 on Growth, 50,000 on Scale, with overage billed per launch beyond that. A script that creates a fresh profile run for every task will consume this quota fast, so estimate daily launches before choosing a tier. Nstbrowser's own documentation is the place to check which automation tools and frameworks each plan includes.
The practical split: if your automation is a few scripts that drive a limited set of accounts, the framework support and fixed bill on Gologin are simpler. If the job is a high-volume pipeline where the launch count itself is the product, Growth at $49.90 for 20,000 launches a day is a clearly defined unit of capacity.
Team features and cloud profiles
Gologin wins on team workflow because profile sharing is built around cloud profiles and team features come with every paid plan. Browser profiles are stored in the cloud and can be shared with team members, so an operator can hand an account to a colleague without exporting files.
The one place Nstbrowser publishes higher numbers is seats. Its free plan includes 3 team members, Starter 20, Growth 50 and Scale 100. Gologin's free plan includes no team members and no profile sharing at all, so a small team that wants to share profiles on a free tier can only do it on Nstbrowser. That advantage disappears once the team is paying.
Gologin's Business plan at $99 a month covers 300 profiles with team features, and Enterprise at $179 covers 1,000. Gologin also runs a Cloud Browser, which launches profiles in the cloud with nothing installed locally. That suits a team where members work from different machines or where profiles should not live on a laptop.
Seat counts per Gologin plan are best read from the pricing page at the time you buy, as team limits are the figure most likely to be adjusted between plans. Anyone who needs 50 or 100 seats should price Nstbrowser's Growth and Scale tiers alongside Gologin's Custom tier.
Platform coverage: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and the cloud
Gologin covers more platforms, which makes it the stronger fit for mixed-device teams. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, has a native Android app, and offers the Cloud Browser for users who would rather not install anything. It is Chromium-based.
The Android app lets you create and run profiles on a phone, which matters for workflows tied to mobile apps or mobile web sessions. Gologin has no iOS app, so Apple phone users will not get a native client from it. The Linux build matters to developers who run profiles on servers or in headless pipelines.
Nstbrowser publishes its own supported-systems list on its download page. Anyone planning a Linux server deployment or an Android workflow should read that page before paying, because a platform gap discovered after purchase costs more than the difference between the two plans.
If your whole team is on Windows or macOS and you never touch mobile, platform support will not separate these two tools, and the decision rests on the billing model and price.
Where each tool is weaker
Gologin's main limitation is that cost climbs with profile count. At 300 profiles it costs $99 a month, and at 1,000 profiles $179, where a launch-metered plan with a higher storage allowance can cost far less. Its free plan is also tight at 3 profiles, with no sharing and no team members.
Nstbrowser's main limitation is that the bill depends on behaviour. Launch quotas, per-launch overage and per-GB proxy overage make the monthly total harder to predict than a flat profile price, and the $29.90 entry price is three times Gologin's. Its free plan is generous in storage but throttled to 30 launches a day.
Both vendors change plans from time to time. Prices, caps and seat counts above come from each vendor's pricing page in November 2026, and anyone buying should confirm them on the day.
Who should choose what
Choose Gologin if: Choose Gologin if you run a few accounts to a few hundred, want a fixed monthly bill from $9 (or $4.50 billed annually), need cloud profiles with team sharing, or work on Linux, Android or in a cloud browser. The 7-day trial of paid features lets you test all of this at no cost.
Choose Nstbrowser if: Choose Nstbrowser if you keep thousands of profiles that are opened rarely, run launch-heavy automation where a 20,000 or 50,000 daily quota is a useful unit, or need a free tier with 500 profiles and 3 team members and can live with 30 launches a day.
