Octo Browser vs Dolphin Anty is one of the most common questions in affiliate marketing: these are the two most popular antidetect browsers among media buyers, and the choice between them comes up constantly. We compared them on what actually affects your work: pricing and plans, fingerprint quality, mobile profiles, team features, automation and a free start. At the end you will find a short verdict on which one to pick.
In short: how Octo and Dolphin differ
Put simply, Dolphin Anty is an antidetect built "by media buyers for media buyers", with a free plan, no-code scenarios and a synchronizer. Octo Browser is a more premium antidetect focused on fingerprint quality, fast Chromium core updates and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Dolphin wins on entry price, Octo wins on technology and team scaling.
- Free plan: Dolphin has a Free plan with 5 profiles; Octo has no free plan, only a 2-day Starter trial.
- Fingerprints: Octo relies on real device fingerprints and kernel-level spoofing; Dolphin uses real fingerprints when you quick-create a profile and lets you tune about 20 parameters manually.
- Mobile: Octo already has iOS and Android apps (in open testing), while Dolphin still marks mobile fingerprints as "coming soon".
- Automation: Dolphin offers no-code scenarios and a synchronizer; Octo offers an API and Puppeteer support starting from the Base plan.
What an antidetect browser is and why media buyers need one
An antidetect browser creates isolated profiles: each one has its own digital fingerprint (hardware, fonts, Canvas, WebGL, timezone), its own cookies and its own proxy. To a platform like Facebook, Google or TikTok, each profile looks like a separate user on a separate device. Without that, accounts get linked, and a ban on one ad account drags the others down with it.
In affiliate marketing, an antidetect is used to farm and warm up accounts, run dozens of ad accounts, hand profiles over within a team and launch campaigns from different GEOs. For a wider view, see our top 5 antidetect browsers for affiliate marketing and the comparison of 10 antidetect browsers.
Octo Browser review
Octo Browser has been around since 2021. According to its terms of service, it is operated by BLACKBIRD SECURE BROWSING LTD, a UK company based in London. The antidetect is built on a fresh Chromium core: the team says it updates the core within a few days of each new browser release. That matters, because an outdated Chromium version can give away an antidetect on its own.
- Fingerprints: real device fingerprints, spoofed at the browser kernel level rather than through JS injection.
- Platforms: Windows, macOS (including M-series) and Linux; Android profiles on desktop.
- Mobile apps: the iOS app launched in May 2026 and the Android app in August 2026 (both in open testing).
- Teams: roles and permissions, tag-based access, profile passwords, an action log and profile transfer.
- Proxies: a built-in shop for residential and mobile proxies, UDP support, HTTP and SOCKS5.
- API: from the Base plan, with a dedicated Puppeteer section in the docs.
Octo has received several industry awards as the best antidetect browser, for example at MAC Affiliate Conference 2024 and Affiliate Space Awards 2025 (according to the company's website).
Dolphin Anty review
Dolphin Anty grew out of the Dolphin team's Facebook automation tools, so it was built for affiliate marketing from day one. According to its privacy policy, it is operated by Zhitnyakov Software Solutions LTD, a Cyprus company based in Limassol. The browser runs on Chromium and uses real fingerprints when you quick-create a profile.
- Free plan: 5 profiles. In mid-September 2025 the limit was cut from 10 to 5, although many reviews still say 10.
- Platforms: Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Scenarios: a no-code automation builder, available from the $10 Starter plan.
- Synchronizer (beta): repeats the main profile's actions in the other profiles, which is handy for bulk warm-up.
- Teams: permissions to create, edit, delete and transfer profiles, and limits on which profiles each user can see.
- Cloud: sync of profiles, cookies and extensions from Starter; on Free, profiles are stored locally only.
The team also runs Dolphin Cloud, a service for managing Facebook ad accounts (token login, auto-rules, bulk launches). It is a separate product with its own subscription, not a feature of the antidetect.
Pricing and plans: Octo vs Dolphin
Octo Browser plans (EUR per month)
- Lite: €10 for 3 profiles.
- Starter: €29 for 30 profiles (+20 available as an add-on).
- Base: €79 for 200 profiles and API access.
- Team: €169 for 600 profiles and 3 team seats.
- Advanced: €329 for 1,200 profiles and 8 seats.
Paying for 3, 6 or 12 months gives a 10%, 20% or 30% discount. You can pay by card or crypto. There is no free plan, but new users can get a 2-day Starter trial with the promo code TRIAL.
Dolphin Anty plans (USD per month)
- Free: $0 for 5 profiles.
- Starter: $10 for up to 60 profiles.
- Base: $89 for 100 profiles.
- Team: $159 for 300 profiles.
- Enterprise: $299 for 1,000+ profiles.
An extra team seat costs $10–25 depending on the plan. Paying for 6–11 months gives a 20% discount, and a full year gives 40%.
Pricing takeaway: at the start, Dolphin is clearly cheaper: free, or $10 for 60 profiles versus €29 for 30 profiles on Octo. At scale the picture changes: Octo Team at €169 gives 600 profiles and 3 seats, while Dolphin Team at $159 gives 300 profiles, with seats paid separately. For teams that need hundreds of profiles, Octo often works out cheaper per profile.
Fingerprints and detection
Fingerprint quality is the main criterion for any antidetect. Both teams say they use real fingerprints. The difference is in approach: Octo focuses on kernel-level spoofing and fast Chromium updates, while Dolphin focuses on convenience and flexible manual settings (WebGL, WebGPU, ClientHints, webcam, voices and other parameters).
In practice, the fingerprint is only part of the setup. Even a perfect profile won't save you if you use dirty proxies, the same creatives and the same payment methods on every account. For proxies to pair with an antidetect, see our guide to mobile, residential and datacenter proxies; for linked accounts in Google, read our Multiple Account Abuse breakdown.
Mobile profiles: where Octo is ahead
For TikTok, Instagram and other mobile-first platforms, this is a key point. In 2026 Octo released dedicated apps: iOS (since May, with native mobile Safari fingerprints) and Android (since August, Android 13+ required). iOS profiles stay inside the app, while Android profiles can be created on both phone and desktop. The apps are free during testing.
Dolphin still marks iOS and Android fingerprints as "coming soon" on its website, with Android fingerprints on its 2026 roadmap. If your setup is farming TikTok accounts for UBT, that is a strong argument for Octo.
Team features and automation
Octo covers teams with roles, tag-based access, profile passwords and an action log, which is handy when you have many buyers and need to know who did what. The API unlocks from Base: 50 requests per minute on Base, 100 on Team and 200 on Advanced. There is no visual scenario builder, so automation is written with Puppeteer and other libraries.
Dolphin is stronger when automation has to be built without a developer: scenarios and the synchronizer are available from the $10 plan. For warming up a batch of accounts, that saves hours of manual work. It has an API too.
Security
Both services store profiles in the cloud, so enable two-factor authentication and give team members only the permissions they need. Octo advertises profile encryption and optional end-to-end encryption with a per-profile password; Dolphin lets you turn off cloud sync and keep profiles locally. Never reuse the same password for your antidetect and your email: losing access to the antidetect means losing every account at once.
Which to choose: Octo or Dolphin
Pick Dolphin Anty if
- you are just starting and want to try an antidetect for free with 5 profiles;
- your budget is tight: $10 for 60 profiles is one of the cheapest entries on the market;
- you need scenarios and a synchronizer without coding;
- you run Facebook traffic and also use Dolphin Cloud to manage ad accounts.
Pick Octo Browser if
- you have a team and hundreds of profiles, where Octo is better value at scale;
- fingerprint quality and a fresh Chromium core are your priority;
- you need iOS and Android mobile profiles for TikTok and Instagram;
- roles, tags, an action log and access control matter to your team.
The best way to decide is to test both: Dolphin on its free plan and Octo on the 2-day trial. Create 3–5 profiles in each with the same proxies, run them through fingerprint checkers and see how accounts behave on your traffic source.
