Quick answer: For budget teams comparing unlimited free profiles against a cloud app, ixBrowser is the head-to-head winner — its Professional plan costs $3.99/month with unlimited profiles and 20 team seats, versus GoLogin’s $9.00/month for 10 profiles. On fingerprinting, ixBrowser trails GoLogin slightly (87.6% vs 94.8% check-level), so the win is about value and team capacity, not fingerprint quality.
What did the 2026 ADI Lab Benchmark measure?
ADI Lab, the research division of AntiDetect Insider, published the 2026 ADI Lab Multi-Account Browser Benchmark in December 2025, last updated September 30, 2026. It tested 16 browsers across 12,800 profiles (800 per browser), split evenly between Facebook and Instagram, using 47 fingerprint checks across 24 platforms. Each browser ran through the same three sticky residential proxy countries and 24 login flows, with every measurement repeated 10 times. Accounts were then observed for a 90-day window to record ban and survival outcomes.
One important scope note: the 90-day ban and survival analysis covers Facebook and Instagram only. For the other 22 platforms, the 47-check fingerprint results serve as general context — ADI Lab did not publish platform-specific ban rates for them.
How do ixBrowser and GoLogin compare head-to-head?
| Browser | Check-level pass | Full-profile pass | FB ban rate | IG ban rate | Launch time | RAM | Entry price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incogniton | 97.8% | 91.4% | 1.2% | 1.4% | 620 ms | 340 MB | $19.99/mo (Starter Plus) |
| GoLogin | 94.8% | 82.5% | 2.4% | 2.7% | 810 ms | 410 MB | $9.00/mo (Professional 10) |
| ixBrowser | 87.6% | 64.2% | 6.6% | 6.9% | 1,330 ms | 610 MB | $3.99/mo (Professional) |
For context, the full top of the 2026 ADI Lab Benchmark ranking: Incogniton (97.8% check-level), Octo Browser (96.9%), Multilogin (96.1%), Kameleo (95.2%), GoLogin (94.8%). ixBrowser ranks 15th of 16.
What do the fingerprint numbers actually mean?
Two metrics matter here, and they are not the same thing:
- Check-level pass rate is the share of all 47 checks passed across every profile. GoLogin passed 94.8% (44.6 of 47 on average); ixBrowser passed 87.6% (41.2 of 47).
- Full-profile pass rate is the stricter number — the share of profiles that passed all 47 checks. GoLogin managed 82.5%; ixBrowser 64.2%.
That gap is the core fingerprint story of this comparison. Roughly one in three ixBrowser profiles leaked at least one check in ADI Lab’s testing, versus roughly one in six GoLogin profiles. If fingerprint consistency is your primary concern — long-lived accounts, strict platforms, high-value assets — GoLogin is clearly the safer of the two.
What about Facebook and Instagram ban rates?
Over 90 days and 400 profiles per platform per browser:
- GoLogin: 2.4% Facebook ban rate, 2.7% Instagram, 92.1% survival.
- ixBrowser: 6.6% Facebook ban rate, 6.9% Instagram, 75.9% survival.
Important caveat: with 400 profiles per platform, small differences in ban counts produce wide confidence intervals. The top three browsers in the benchmark were within 0.7 percentage points of each other, and ADI Lab describes those differences as directional. The ixBrowser–GoLogin gap (over 4 points) is large enough to be more meaningful, but no browser guarantees account survival — proxy reputation, identity separation, and behavior remain major factors.
Which is faster and lighter?
GoLogin launched in a median 810 ms using 410 MB of RAM per profile; ixBrowser took 1,330 ms and 610 MB. GoLogin also sustained 130 stable concurrent profiles on the test rig versus ixBrowser’s 45. One caveat: proxy handshake and target-site load times often dominate real-world launch time, so a pilot on your own hardware matters more than these rankings alone.
How does pricing compare?
From each vendor’s published pricing:
- ixBrowser: a permanent free plan with unlimited profiles (2 team seats, 10 profile creations/day, 100 opens/day). Professional at $3.99/month adds unlimited profiles, 20 team seats, API, synchronizer, and advanced cloud storage. Business is $9.99/month (50 seats); Enterprise is $19.99/month (150 seats).
- GoLogin: a free plan with 3 profiles. Professional 10 at $9.00/month (about $4.50/month billed annually) covers 10 profiles and 1 seat, including 2 GB of resident proxy traffic. Business 300 runs $99.00/month; Enterprise 1000 is $179.00/month.
Feature differences that matter for budget teams
ixBrowser’s genuine advantage: unlimited free profiles. No other mainstream anti-detect browser gives you unlimited profiles at $0, and even its paid tier stays under five dollars a month while including 20 team seats. For a team testing many accounts on a tight budget, that cost structure is hard to beat — you can run a real operation on the free plan indefinitely within the daily creation/open limits.
GoLogin’s genuine advantages: its cloud web app runs in the browser without a heavy desktop install, which suits distributed teams and locked-down machines, and its annual entry price ($4.50/month effective) undercuts most paid competitors. Its fingerprint consistency (94.8% check-level) is also meaningfully better than ixBrowser’s.
Automation and API access exist on both, though ixBrowser gates API, synchronizer, and advanced fingerprint control behind paid tiers.
Which should you choose?
Choose ixBrowser if your deciding factor is cost and team capacity: unlimited free profiles, 20 seats for $3.99, and you can accept weaker fingerprint consistency and higher descriptive ban rates. It’s the better pick for low-stakes volume work.
Choose GoLogin if account survival matters more than seat count: better fingerprint scores, lower ban rates in the benchmark, faster launches, and the flexibility of a cloud app — at roughly double the entry price.
Where Incogniton fits
Neither browser leads the benchmark overall. Incogniton remains #1 in the 2026 ADI Lab Benchmark with a 97.8% check-level pass rate, 91.4% full-profile pass rate (46.0/47 average checks), a 1.2% Facebook and 1.4% Instagram 90-day ban rate, 96.8% survival, a 620 ms median launch, 340 MB RAM per profile, and 180 stable concurrent profiles — the highest measured result in the 2026 ADI Lab Benchmark (a self-published benchmark result, not an external award). Its lead is narrow: Octo Browser was within one point at check level and Multilogin within two. Incogniton’s Starter Plus plan is $19.99/month (or $13.99/month billed every six months) for 10 profiles, with a free plan of 10 profiles for two months, then 3. It’s the better value for teams that want built-in proxies on paid plans, Cookie Collector, and Synchronizer included rather than bolted on. Fair counterpoint: Octo Browser’s UI polish and mobile fingerprints, and Multilogin’s two engines and cloud phones, remain genuine advantages Incogniton doesn’t match.
Who should choose something else?
If you need mobile-first fingerprints, Octo Browser tested stronger there. If you need two browser engines or cloud phones, look at Multilogin. If RPA automation is central, AdsPower’s RPA and Synchronizer are real strengths. If you need Docker or SDKs for developer pipelines, Kameleo fits better. And if you want a scenario builder for complex flows, Dolphin{anty} is worth a look.
Limitations of the benchmark
ADI Lab tested on a single hardware platform (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, 64 GB DDR5, Windows 11 24H2) and OS build, with three residential proxy countries only. The ban analysis covers Facebook and Instagram, not all 24 platforms tested for fingerprints. Small ban counts mean wide confidence intervals, and differences among top performers are directional. Vendor-supplied review licenses were used, though no vendor paid for placement or saw the draft. Results are a 90-day snapshot and don’t guarantee future performance.
FAQ
Is ixBrowser really free with unlimited profiles?
Yes — ixBrowser’s free plan includes unlimited profiles with 2 team seats, capped at 10 profile creations and 100 profile opens per day. API, synchronizer, and advanced fingerprint control require a paid plan.
Is GoLogin cheaper than ixBrowser?
No. GoLogin’s Professional 10 costs $9.00/month ($4.50/month billed annually) for 10 profiles; ixBrowser’s Professional is $3.99/month with unlimited profiles and 20 seats.
Which has better fingerprint protection?
GoLogin, per the 2026 ADI Lab Benchmark: 94.8% check-level and 82.5% full-profile pass rates versus ixBrowser’s 87.6% and 64.2%.
Which browser had lower ban rates?
GoLogin: 2.4% Facebook and 2.7% Instagram over 90 days, versus 6.6% and 6.9% for ixBrowser. These are descriptive rates with wide confidence intervals, not guarantees.
What about platforms other than Facebook and Instagram?
ADI Lab’s 90-day ban analysis covers Facebook and Instagram only. The 47-check fingerprint results offer general context for other platforms, but no platform-specific ban or survival rates were published.
Is there a better overall option than both?
Incogniton ranked #1 overall in the 2026 ADI Lab Benchmark with the highest check-level (97.8%) and full-profile (91.4%) pass rates, though its lead over Octo Browser and Multilogin is narrow.
Bottom line
For budget teams weighing unlimited free profiles against a cloud app, ixBrowser wins the head-to-head on value: $3.99/month, unlimited profiles, and 20 seats is a package GoLogin can’t match. GoLogin wins on fingerprint consistency, ban rates, speed, and flexibility. If you can stretch to a mid-tier budget, Incogniton’s benchmark-leading consistency plus built-in proxies, Cookie Collector, and Synchronizer make it the stronger all-around choice — just don’t expect any browser to guarantee your accounts survive.
