Comparison
hak-browser vs GoLogin
GoLogin pioneered the "browser fingerprint per profile" model and still leads on UI polish. We compete on engine update cadence, end-to-end encrypted sync, and a tighter price ladder for solo operators.
How we compare
Honest numbers, no asterisks.

Where GoLogin wins
Free tier. 3 profiles forever, no card. We give you a 7-day trial instead — better for serious testing, worse for tire-kickers.
UI maturity. Their dashboard has been iterated for years. Ours is shadcn-clean but feature-thin in places (no team analytics dashboard yet).
Mobile profiles. GoLogin ships Android emulation profiles. We support desktop + laptop classes only — mobile is on the post-launch roadmap.
Where we win
Update cadence. Engine plugins ship over-the-air in hours. GoLogin releases ~once a month — when a detector lands a new check, that's how long your accounts stay exposed.
Real E2E sync. Cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB encrypt with XChaCha20-Poly1305 client-side; we never see the key. GoLogin syncs server-side with vendor-held keys — fine for most threat models, not for paranoid ones.
Public automation API. First-class, documented, included on every paid tier. GoLogin gates Selenium / Playwright integration behind their Custom plan.
Audit-friendly architecture. Engine plugins are open-source, signed bundles with deterministic dependency resolution. You can read the code that spoofs your canvas. GoLogin's engine is closed-source.

| End-to-end encrypted sync | XChaCha20-Poly1305, client-held keys | Server-side, vendor keys |
| Public REST + Selenium API | All paid tiers | Custom plan only |
| MCP server (LLM driving) | Embedded + remote | No |
| Mobile (Android) profiles | Roadmap | Yes |

When to pick which
Pick GoLogin if you need…
- A truly free tier (3 profiles forever) for occasional manual work
- Mobile (Android) browser fingerprints today
- A vendor with 5+ years of public track record
Pick hak-browser if you need…
- Detection patches inside the same week the detector ships them
- Cryptographic guarantee that the vendor cannot read your cookies
- Public API access on the entry tier, not the enterprise upsell
- Open-source spoofers you (or your security team) can audit
Migration FAQ
Can I import GoLogin profiles?
Yes — export GoLogin profiles to CSV via their dashboard, then use our bulk-import wizard in the Profiles page. Cookies / localStorage import via Cookie-Editor or EditThisCookie format. Proxies stay attached to each profile during import.
My team is on GoLogin Custom for the API. What changes?
Our public REST + MCP API is included on every paid tier (SOLO and up), so the API access alone usually justifies the migration economically. Selenium / Playwright wrappers connect over the same port as GoLogin's, so most existing scripts only need an endpoint URL change.
Will the engine plugins keep up with detector updates?
That's the headline difference. Engine plugins ship over-the-air via signed bundles; the detection benchmark page runs every day against 30+ vendors and the scoreboard is public. When a regression appears we ship a patched plugin within hours, not weeks.
Can I keep my GoLogin subscription running during the trial?
Yes. Our 7-day trial runs in parallel with your existing subscription so you can A/B identical accounts on both products and watch the detection benchmark side-by-side before committing.
What about mobile (Android) profiles?
GoLogin currently wins on this — mobile fingerprint emulation is on our post-launch roadmap. If your operation is mobile-first, GoLogin is the right call today; revisit once we ship.
