Antidetect browsers all describe themselves the same way, which makes choosing between them harder than it should be. Every one promises undetectable profiles, unique fingerprints, and safe multi-accounting.
Dolphin Anty is worth separating out for two concrete reasons. Its free tier gives you five profiles indefinitely — more than most competitors offer to try — and its paid pricing has an unusually sharp step in the middle that changes the calculation depending on which side of it you land.
We are Geonode, a residential proxy provider, which means we have a stake here: antidetect browsers need proxies, and we sell those. Read the proxy section with that in mind. It also means we will be direct about something vendors in this category tend to leave out — the subscription is not the full cost, and a setup without proxies does not work. Comparing these tools on monthly price alone leads people to buy something incomplete.
This covers what Dolphin Anty does, what it actually costs once you include the missing half, and — the section most reviews omit — who should not buy it at all.
What Dolphin Anty Is For
Dolphin Anty is an antidetect browser: software that runs multiple isolated browser profiles, each with its own fingerprint, cookies, storage, and proxy, so websites see separate devices rather than one person switching between accounts.
The reason this is needed is browser fingerprinting. Sites read a set of properties from your browser — fonts, screen dimensions, canvas and WebGL rendering, timezone, hardware details — and the combination is often unique enough to recognise you across sessions. Clearing cookies does nothing about it. An antidetect browser gives each profile a different, internally consistent set of those properties.
The Audience
Where Dolphin Anty differs from its competitors is emphasis rather than mechanism. It is positioned heavily toward affiliate marketing and paid media buying, and the product reflects that: the team features, the automation, and the profile organisation are all built around running many advertising accounts at once.
That focus is worth knowing because it tells you what the tool is optimised for. If you are managing dozens of ad accounts across platforms, the feature set was designed for you. If your use case is something else — e-commerce seller accounts, agency social media management, multi-region testing — it still works, but you are using a tool shaped for a neighbouring job.
What It Is Not
It is not a scraping tool. It is not a VPN. And it is not a complete system on its own, which is the point of the proxy section below.
Core Features
Profile management. Each profile bundles a fingerprint, cookies, storage, saved logins, and a proxy. Profiles are organised with tags, folders, and statuses — which matters more than it sounds when you are past a hundred of them and need to find the one that is failing.
Fingerprint generation. New profiles get coherent fingerprints rather than random values. Coherence is the actual technical challenge here: a profile claiming macOS with Windows-only fonts is more suspicious than an unmodified browser, because impossible combinations are exactly what detection systems look for.
Per-profile proxies. Each profile has its own proxy configuration, with a built-in manager for storing and assigning them. This is the feature that makes everything else work.
Team collaboration. Profiles are shared between team members with roles and permissions, so an account is handed over without passing credentials around — and without the login being flagged as coming from an unfamiliar device.
Automation. A visual automation builder for repetitive actions, plus a Local API for programmatic control and integration with Selenium and Puppeteer. The visual builder is the piece aimed at non-developers, and it is a genuine differentiator for that audience.
Cookie handling. Import and export cookies per profile, plus a cookie robot that browses to build up plausible history. A profile with no browsing history at all is itself unusual, so this addresses a real signal.
Extensions. Standard Chrome extensions install per profile.
Pricing and the Cliff in the Middle
This is the part worth studying, because the structure is not linear. Verify current numbers on their pricing page before committing — vendors in this category revise terms often.
| Plan | Monthly | Profiles | Extra team members |
|---|
| Free | $0 | 5 | — |
| Starter | $10 | 60 | — |
| Base | $89 | 100 | +$10 each |
| Team | $159 | 300 | +$20 each |
| Enterprise | $299 | Unlimited | +$25 each |
Longer commitments carry substantial discounts — around 20% for six to eleven months and 40% for twelve.
The Free Tier Is Genuinely Useful
Five permanent profiles is not a trial in the usual sense. It is enough to run a handful of real accounts indefinitely at no cost, and it is more generous than most of the category offers.
Use it properly: test whether profiles hold up against the specific platforms you care about, before paying anything. Results vary enormously by target, and no review — this one included — can tell you how a given profile performs against a particular platform's current detection. That test is the only one that matters.
The Step From $10 to $89
Here is the structural quirk. Starter gives you 60 profiles for $10. Base gives you 100 for $89.
That is 40 more profiles for nearly nine times the price. The jump is not really about profile count — Base adds the team and collaboration features — but if all you need is more profiles, the value per profile collapses at that boundary.
The practical consequence: Starter is exceptional value and Base is where you should think hard. If you need 70 profiles and no team features, you are paying $79 a month for 10 extra profiles. Worth checking whether you can consolidate under 60, or whether you actually need what Base adds.
Above that, Team and Enterprise price roughly in line with the category. It is specifically the Starter-to-Base step that is unusual.
The Line Nobody Includes
Every price above is the software only. Proxies are separate, required, and the reason for the next section.
Why Proxies Are Not Optional
We sell proxies, so weigh this accordingly — but the claim is easy to verify independently.
A fingerprint changes what your browser looks like. It does nothing about where you connect from.
Run sixty perfectly distinct profiles over one home connection and all sixty arrive from the same IP address. Any platform that correlates accounts by network sees sixty accounts on one line. The fingerprints did not help. If anything, sixty different devices on one residential connection is a stranger pattern than sixty sessions from one consistent device.
This is the failure mode that catches people who compared antidetect browsers on subscription price and bought the cheapest.
What Each Profile Needs
Its own IP address, and one that stays stable for that profile.
Residential proxies route through real consumer connections, so the address belongs to an ISP the way an ordinary user's does. This is what most account-based work uses.
Datacenter proxies are cheaper and faster, and identifiable as datacenter ranges. Fine where nobody checks; often not fine where accounts are involved.
Mobile proxies route through cellular carriers, where carrier-grade NAT means many real users share each address. Hardest to act against, and the most expensive.
Sticky beats rotating here. Rotation is a scraping feature — you want a different address per request. A profile represents one persistent identity, so it wants the same address every session. An account whose IP jumps between countries weekly is an anomaly, not a disguise.
What It Costs
Browser-profile work is light on bandwidth. Human-paced browsing moves far less data than scraping, so the proxy bill is often smaller than the subscription.
Market rates run from roughly $0.79 to $7.00 per GB. Geonode starts at $0.79/GB with 1 TB free for new accounts, dropping to $0.50/GB at 100 GB and $0.27/GB at 1 TB.
What matters more than the per-GB rate at these volumes is whether the addresses are clean and whether sessions stay genuinely sticky. A cheap proxy on an address block that platforms already distrust costs you accounts, which is more expensive than any bandwidth rate.
Setting Profiles Up Properly
A profile is only as good as its least consistent signal. These are the ones that get missed.
Match the timezone to the proxy. A profile on a Brazilian IP reporting your local timezone is the most common mismatch in the category, and it is checked constantly because it is cheap to check. Set it per profile.
Match the language. Accept-Language and locale should correspond to the proxy's country.
Verify no WebRTC leak. WebRTC can expose your real address independently of the proxy. When it happens the failure is total — one request undoes everything else — so test explicitly rather than assuming.
Keep one profile per account, permanently. Reusing a profile across accounts links them through shared cookies and fingerprint. Rebuilding a profile from scratch for an existing account looks like a new device.
Let history accumulate. Profiles that persist cookies over weeks look more like real users than freshly minted identities. This is what the cookie robot is for.
Remember behaviour is a separate layer. Instant form fills, identical navigation paths, and perfectly regular timing across dozens of accounts are signals no browser configuration addresses. Fingerprints handle the technical layer only.
How It Compares
The established antidetect browsers all use custom browser builds rather than extensions, which is the meaningful technical baseline — extension-based spoofing leaves detectable traces because it intercepts JavaScript APIs after the fact rather than changing values where the browser produces them.
Given that shared baseline, the differences are practical:
Free tier. Dolphin Anty's five permanent profiles are at the generous end. Several competitors offer three, or a time-limited trial.
Entry pricing. The $10 Starter tier with 60 profiles is aggressive. Few competitors match that ratio at the low end.
Automation. The visual builder targets non-developers specifically. Competitors tend to offer API access and assume you will script it.
Positioning. The affiliate and media-buying focus shapes the feature set. Tools aimed at agencies emphasise different things — client separation, reporting, permission granularity.
What to Actually Evaluate
Feature comparisons are less useful here than they look. What decides it:
Whether profiles survive against your targets. Test on free tiers. This varies more between platforms than between browsers.
How current the Chromium base is. These tools fork Chromium and have to track it. A build reporting a version nobody runs is itself a signal, and it means missing security patches. This is a better quality indicator than any feature list.
Total cost including proxies. The comparison people skip, and the one that changes conclusions.
Whether the team features match how you work, if more than one person touches the accounts.
Who Should Skip It
The section most reviews leave out, because it argues against a purchase.
If you are scraping public data. Write a script with rotating proxies. It is simpler, cheaper, and dramatically faster. A full browser per session is enormous overhead when an HTTP request would do the same job.
If you have one or two accounts. Ordinary Chrome or Firefox profiles isolate cookies and logins. They share one fingerprint and one IP, which is fine when you are not trying to look like separate people.
If your platforms do not fingerprint aggressively. Many do not. Test before subscribing.
If an official API exists. Use it. A sanctioned interface beats any amount of browser configuration and cannot be removed by a detection update.
If you were going to skip proxies. Then the subscription buys you nothing. Budget for both or neither.
The genuine case for this category is narrow: many persistent, logged-in identities on platforms that actively link accounts by device. That is a real need with real economics behind it. It is also much narrower than the marketing implies.
Legitimate Use and the Limits
Antidetect browsers have both real uses and an earned reputation problem.
Legitimate
Agencies managing client accounts. Twenty clients need twenty isolated environments so one client's problem does not cascade into the others.
Media buying across multiple advertiser accounts, where separation is a business requirement.
Multi-region testing. Seeing how your own site renders and prices from different countries.
Ad verification. Confirming placements appear correctly to the intended audience.
Separating work and personal identities.
Where It Stops
Terms of service still bind you. Many platforms restrict multiple accounts explicitly. Technical capability is not permission, and when it goes wrong the consequence is usually every linked account rather than one.
Fraud is fraud. Fake reviews, ad fraud, evading bans imposed for cause, coordinated inauthentic behaviour — none of that changes character because it was hard to detect, and the exposure extends well past a platform ban.
Data protection law applies regardless of browser configuration.
Detection keeps improving. Platforms invest heavily here. An approach that works this quarter may not next. A business built on evasion is a business that gets rebuilt periodically, and that ongoing cost belongs in the calculation.
A workable test: would you be comfortable explaining the setup to the platform? Agency account management passes easily. Ban evasion does not.
People Also Ask
Is Dolphin Anty free?
There is a permanent free tier with five profiles — not a time-limited trial. Paid plans start at $10 per month for 60 profiles. Budget separately for proxies, which the setup requires.
Is Dolphin Anty safe to use?
The software works as described. Whether your accounts are safe depends on the platforms you use it on, how consistently you configure profiles, and whether your behaviour patterns give you away. No antidetect browser guarantees anything, and any that claims to is overstating.
Do I need proxies with Dolphin Anty?
For essentially any real use, yes. Fingerprints do not change your IP address, and profiles sharing one address are trivially correlated. Each profile needs its own consistent address, which means separate proxy spend on top of the subscription.
Is Dolphin Anty better than the alternatives?
It has the strongest free tier and unusually cheap entry pricing, and its automation builder suits non-developers. Whether that outweighs a competitor's strengths depends on your platforms and team. Test on free tiers rather than trusting comparisons — the variable that matters most is platform-specific.
What is the catch with the $10 plan?
No catch at that tier — 60 profiles for $10 is genuinely good value. The thing to notice is the step above it: Base is $89 for 100 profiles, so if you need 70 profiles without team features, you pay a lot for very few extra.
Can I use it for web scraping?
You can, and it is the wrong tool. Scripts with rotating proxies are far faster and cheaper for public data. Antidetect browsers earn their cost for persistent logged-in identities, not bulk extraction.
Is using an antidetect browser legal?
The software is legal in most jurisdictions and has clearly legitimate uses. What matters is what you do with it — platform terms apply, fraud remains fraud, and data protection law is unaffected by browser configuration.
The Verdict
Dolphin Anty is a competent antidetect browser with two things genuinely worth noting: a free tier that gives you five permanent profiles rather than a countdown, and a $10 entry plan with 60 profiles that is priced well below what the category usually charges at that level.
The structural quirk is the step from Starter to Base — $10 to $89 for 40 extra profiles. That jump buys team features, not capacity, so if you need somewhere between 60 and 100 profiles and work alone, check carefully whether you can stay under the line.
The thing to carry away, though, is not specific to this product. An antidetect browser is half a system. A fingerprint hides what your browser looks like; it says nothing about where you connect from, and profiles sharing one IP are correlated no matter how distinct their fingerprints are. Budget for the subscription and the proxies, match the timezone and language to each proxy's country, and test for WebRTC leaks — or you have built a contradiction rather than a disguise.
And the honest scope stays narrow. Scraping public data? Write a script. Two accounts? Use browser profiles. Platform has an API? Use the API. This category earns its cost for many persistent logged-in identities on platforms that link accounts by device, and not much else.
The five free profiles make that easy to establish before spending anything. Use them on the platforms you actually care about — that answers the one question no review can.
