Anti-detect browsers are essential to anyone looking to enhance privacy, automate tasks, or bypass restrictions. Python and other code based scraping tools are what we typically think about when it comes to scraping. With an anti-detect browser, you can scrape without writing a lick of code. If you need privacy, automation, or the ability to bypass blocking, these tools are an excellent choice.
Since 2015 Multilogin has been offering a great browser with many features. In 2019, AdsPower was founded and it’s been taking the market by storm. AdsPower and Multilogin share many of the same features. We’ll look at them both in detail to see which one is best.
Let’s take a look at these browsers and see how they match up.
Pricing
AdsPower definitely has the edge when it comes to pricing. They offer a Free Forever plan and their most expensive plan is $36/month. The starter plan from Multilogin is €29/month! The highest tier from AdsPower hits roughly the same price point as the lowest tier from Multilogin.
