Comparison
hak-browser vs Multilogin
Multilogin is the incumbent — battle-tested, enterprise-trusted, and pricey. Here's an honest read on when each one is the right call.

Where Multilogin wins
Track record. Multilogin has been around since 2017. If your compliance team needs a vendor with auditable history, that matters.
Enterprise contracts. They sell SAML SSO, dedicated support, and annual invoices. We don't (yet).
Cloud profiles. Their Cloud product runs the browser on their infrastructure. We require you to run the browser locally.
Where we win
Price. $19/mo for 10 profiles vs. $99/mo for the cheapest Multilogin tier. Same fingerprint protection.
Update speed. Engine plugins update over-the-air in hours. Multilogin ships full client updates on a 1–3 week cycle.
Privacy. Profile sync is end-to-end encrypted. Multilogin can technically decrypt your sessions; we structurally cannot.
Public automation API. First-class, documented, with SDKs. Multilogin gates this behind enterprise plans.

When to pick which
Pick Multilogin if you need…
- Cloud-hosted browsers (browser runs on their server, you connect via web UI)
- SAML SSO + dedicated CSM
- A vendor your compliance team already approved
Pick hak-browser if you need…
- To stop bleeding cash on Multilogin's enterprise tier
- Hot-update protection that ships fixes before detectors hurt your accounts
- End-to-end encrypted profile sync without trusting the vendor
- A public, scriptable automation API instead of a sales call
Migration FAQ
Will my Multilogin profiles import cleanly?
Yes — Multilogin offers per-profile JSON / CSV export from their dashboard. Import via our bulk Profiles importer. Cookies / localStorage import via Cookie-Editor or EditThisCookie format. Proxies stay attached to each profile.
Is the price difference real or marketing?
It's real. Our entry paid plan is $19/mo for 10 profiles vs Multilogin's cheapest published tier at ~$99/mo. The fingerprint protection passes the same public benchmarks. The price gap exists because we don't sell SAML SSO, dedicated CSMs, or cloud-hosted browsers — those are the components driving Multilogin's enterprise pricing.
What's missing if we leave Multilogin's enterprise tier?
Three things: cloud-hosted browsers (we run locally only), SAML SSO (on roadmap), and a dedicated customer success manager. If any of those are non-negotiable, Multilogin Enterprise stays the right call. Otherwise the migration is a clean win on price + update cadence.
How quickly do you patch detection regressions?
Engine plugins are signed bundles that update over-the-air. Our public detection benchmark page runs daily against 30+ vendors; when a regression appears, the matching plugin patch typically ships within hours. Multilogin updates the bundled Chromium fork on a 1–3 week cycle.
Do automation scripts I wrote against Multilogin's API still work?
The wire format differs (we use a documented REST + MCP surface; Multilogin's automation is closer to their proprietary protocol), but Selenium/Playwright scripts that talk to a launched browser via CDP work identically — they connect to whatever Chromium endpoint the launched profile exposes.
