Linken Sphere — antidetect browser: rating and member reviews

Updated on October 30, 2026: added screenshots from my workspace, key takeaways, use cases, Chromium 156, my rating and a comparison with Dolphin{anty} and Multilogin.

Linken Sphere is the antidetect browser people pick when they want to tune things by hand. It updates its Chromium kernel faster than most, it gives you a local API without request limits, and it lets you keep sessions only on your own computer. It also hides all of that behind a $160-a-month plan, and it explains less about how it works than almost anyone else on the market.

I've used Linken Sphere in my own work, and the app screenshots below are from my own workspace, with proxy IPs blurred. Everything else is built on what the company publishes: its pricing page, documentation, FAQ, version history and the official Telegram channel, checked on October 22 and again on October 30, 2026. For how Linken Sphere compares with Dolphin, AdsPower, Octo and GoLogin on the same facts, see Antidetect Browsers for Media Buyers 2026: Real Differences.

Linken Sphere review: key takeaways

• What it is: a Chromium-based antidetect browser for Windows and macOS from Legendary Software LTD, sold since 2017.
• Best for: media buyers and small teams who write their own scripts and want a local API without request limits.
• Core features: Hybrid mode that renders with your real GPU instead of canvas noise; sessions stored in the cloud, only locally or only in the cloud; bulk creation of up to 100 sessions from a preset.
• Pricing: a free plan with 5 sessions and no time limit; paid plans from $30 a month for 30 sessions; the API and teams from $160 a month on Pro; 20% off on annual billing.
• Kernel updates: Chromium 156 shipped on October 26, 2026, 6 days after Chrome; every version since September has come 6 days after Chrome.
• Watch out for: no Linux or mobile app, no refund after the first launch, and cloud sync on by default.
• Promo code: ALIENCPA takes 20% off the first payment.
• My rating: 4/5. A fast kernel, an API without request limits and a solid free plan, held back by the $160 entry to the API and teams, no refunds and how little the company explains.

What is Linken Sphere, and who makes it?

Linken Sphere is a Chromium-based antidetect browser for multi-accounting: it runs many isolated browser profiles, called sessions, each with its own fingerprint, cookies and proxy, so sites see them as separate users. The current product is Linken Sphere 2. The site footer names Legendary Software LTD with an address in Ruislip, London, and dates the company from 2017. The company's own timeline says the first browser came out in 2017, it had 1,000,000 users worldwide by 2020 and released "the new generation" in 2023.

It runs on Windows 10 and later and macOS 13 and later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. There's no Linux version, no mobile app and no cloud phone. Windows 7 support ended in January 2023 with Linken Sphere 9.0 and Chromium 109.

Where it came from matters to some buyers. In January 2020 the threat intelligence company Recorded Future published a profile of Linken Sphere and traced its first appearance to Russian-speaking underground forums on July 4, 2017. The same report called it one of the most popular anti-detection tools of its kind. Today the product is sold openly from ls.app, with a company name, a license agreement and a referral program.

Who is Linken Sphere best for? Affiliate marketing, crypto and scraping

Linken Sphere's site lists 8 use cases: multi-account management, media buying, affiliate marketing, crypto, web scraping, betting, dropshipping and e-commerce, and digital agencies. Here's where it fits best, and on which plan:

• Affiliate marketing and media buying. Separate sessions for Facebook, Google and other ad accounts, each with its own proxy and fingerprint. A buyer who farms accounts by hand fits on Light: 150 sessions for $90 a month, with the config pool and the mobile emulator. Pro adds team roles and the "Facebook manager."
• Crypto. Linken Sphere's crypto page pitches airdrop and retrodrop farming, with MetaMask, Phantom and other wallet extensions inside each session. Keep in mind that airdrop projects filter out multi-account farms by the on-chain links between wallets, and no browser hides those.
• Web scraping and automation. The local API has no request limits, and you drive sessions with Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium over CDP. The scraping page also lists headless mode and turning off images to save traffic. All of it needs Pro at $160 a month.
• Small teams and agencies. Pro gives up to 10 members with owner, admin and member roles, a session log and backups; Premium removes the member limit.

Look elsewhere if you work on Linux, need Android or iOS apps or cloud phones, want no-code automation, or need team roles for less than $160 a month. The comparison below shows cheaper options for teams.

Linken Sphere pricing explained: sessions, desktops and seats

A session is a profile. Linken Sphere calls every browser profile a session, and your plan limits how many sessions you can keep. The FAQ puts it this way: the number is "the number of profiles that can be stored and used simultaneously. You can create and delete sessions without limitation, but only those allowed by your plan will remain active."

Desktops are folders for sessions, and they're unlimited on every plan. You can split clients, GEOs or teams into separate desktops; a team desktop is shared, a personal one isn't.

Seats are copies of the app running at once. The free plan has 1 seat. Every paid plan has unlimited seats: "simultaneous work by multiple users under one account is available on any paid plan," the FAQ says. That's different from team members, which you only get on Pro and Premium.

A detail that saves money: you can join someone else's team without a paid license and work within the owner's limits, including sessions and proxies. A team lead pays for Pro, the buyers join for free.

This is my session manager, where you'll spend most of your time. Each row is a session with its config (device, OS and browser), its connection, a status, the number of cookies it holds and a description. With the Quick toggle on, the New session button creates and launches a session from the selected preset in one click; without it, you get a wizard with 5 blocks of settings. The Proxy Manager, mass import and mass creation sit on the same toolbar.

How does Linken Sphere spoof the fingerprint? Hybrid mode explained

It doesn't fully say, and that's the first thing to know. Linken Sphere names neither its build nor its patching method. What it does publish is how its main mode works.

Hybrid mode skips canvas and WebGL noise. In the FAQ's words, Hybrid mode "does not use traditional Canvas and WebGL noise in its operation. Instead, it uses your device's real hardware data to render graphics, but intelligently substitutes related configuration parameters (video card model, RAM size, number of processor cores, etc.)." The reasoning: many detection systems "have learned to detect noise imposed by any anti-detection browsers," so real rendering looks more natural.

Hybrid 2.0 needs a real video card. The system requirements say it "only works with a real video card. If you have a VPS or virtual machine with a virtual GPU, it is better to use normal mode." So if you plan to run Linken Sphere on a server, you lose the mode the company recommends.

For many sessions at once, plan on 16 GB of RAM and an SSD. That's the recommended spec; the minimum is 4 GB of RAM and any physical video card, "suitable for working with a small number of tabs."

What else shapes the browser fingerprint. From the Light plan you get a mobile emulator and a config pool of real device configurations: a session built from the pool takes every parameter from the config except Canvas, WebGL, ClientRects and Audio, which are generated and set with sliders, and each new session takes the next config so they don't repeat. The October 12 update added fresh Android configurations to the pool. In September 2026 the team announced a third-generation canvas and said it had found "a method to make a fingerprint unique without altering the source data." There's no independent test of that claim.

Linken Sphere Chromium updates: how fast does it follow Chrome?

Fast. Linken Sphere announces every engine update in its official Telegram channel. Its site has a version history page too, but on October 30, 2026 it stopped at v2.21.0 of August 11 (Chromium 151), and the 5 releases since then are only in Telegram. Here's 2026 against Chrome's stable releases:

Since Chrome moved to a 2-week cycle in September, every Linken Sphere version has shipped 6 days after Chrome: 153, 154, 155 and 156. On the day we checked, it was on the current Chrome version. If you want to track it, follow the channel, not the website.

Antidetect browser automation: what Linken Sphere's local API gives you

No request limits, but only on Pro and Premium. The documentation is direct: "The API is available to Pro and Premium users. We do not impose artificial limits on the number of requests (RPM/RPH). The speed of the API is limited only by the computing power of your computer." Most competitors cap you at 50 to 1,500 requests a minute.

It's local in the strict sense. The API server is off by default; you turn it on in Settings, under Network, and pick a port. It only works while the Linken Sphere client is running, and requests have to come from the same computer. Sessions are created and started through endpoints like /sessions/create_quick, and you connect Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium to the running session over CDP. The full method list is in Postman.

Bulk creation covers the routine part without code. You can create up to 100 sessions at once from a preset, which carries the connection, fingerprint, start pages, bookmarks and extensions. Link a proxy list to the preset, and each new session takes the next proxy from the list until it runs out. For sessions with individual settings, there's a universal import from an XLSX or CSV template with the proxy, config, noise settings, cookies and passwords for each one.

There's no no-code builder. For routine work you get warm-up from the Pure plan, mass actions and, on Pro, a "Facebook manager" that the pricing page lists without a description. If you need scenarios without code, Dolphin{anty} and AdsPower have them; Linken Sphere expects you to write scripts.

Linken Sphere for teams: roles, seats and the session log

Teams start at Pro. Pro allows up to 10 team members, Premium unlimited. Free, Pure and Light users can't create a team but can join one. Roles are owner, admin and member, and you invite people by email or link with preset rights.

Pro also adds a session log and session backup, "action history and backup" in the teamwork docs. From Light you can send sessions to other users and receive them.

Statuses, tags and descriptions keep a shared desktop readable. Each session can carry tags, a status and a note, so everyone sees which account is in what state without opening it.

Read this before you plan a team of 3 on Light. Light has 150 sessions for $90 a month but 0 team members. Unlimited seats let several people run the same account at once, but there are no team roles to limit what each of them can see or change.

Is Linken Sphere safe to use? Data, sync and refunds

Here's what the company says about your data. From the FAQ: "All data is encrypted on disk and during transmission; Linken Sphere does not contain trackers and does not use Google API." The browser sends "only technical data: license status, session parameters, and metadata," and cookies and local storage aren't transferred if you turn sync off.

Sync is on by default, and the cloud keeps your data after you leave. Cloud sync comes with paid plans from Pure, and the FAQ says: "Synchronization is enabled by default." You can switch it off per session or preset and keep data only locally, or, since September 2026, keep it only in the cloud without a copy on your computer. If you use the cloud, "data is stored on the server for at least a year" after your license expires, so you can pick up where you left off, but it also means your sessions sit on their servers for that year.

You'll see forum talk about hidden processes inside Linken Sphere. We looked for a primary source behind it: a published technical analysis, a security vendor's report, or a statement from the company. We didn't find one, so we treat it as unverified. Recorded Future's 2020 report describes how the tool was used and sold, not hidden behavior in the app.

One feature tells you who part of the audience is. The docs describe video stream replacement: a virtual webcam that streams a prepared video, photo or GIF to a site instead of your camera. They list "passing KYC and other video verifications" as a use and claim the target site or KYC system can't detect it. Passing a KYC check with a prepared video instead of a live camera breaks the rules of ad platforms and payment services, and with someone else's face it's identity fraud. Don't use it for identity checks.

Read the damn refund line before you pay. The FAQ: "Is a refund possible after purchase? No. The software is provided 'as is.' A refund is only possible before the first launch." And "in case of a gross violation of the user agreement, the account may be blocked without a refund."

Linken Sphere pricing 2026: plans, discounts and promo code

Prices per month, from the pricing page, rechecked on October 30, 2026. Paying for 6 months takes 10% off, and paying for a year 20%:

If you go with Pure at $30 a month, the code ALIENCPA brings your first payment down to $24; on Pro it's $128 instead of $160. Per Linken Sphere's docs, the promo code stacks with the 6- and 12-month discounts.

The pricing page also lists free proxies on Light (100), Pro (300) and Premium (1,000). These are Linken Sphere's built-in shared proxies, and the docs are blunt about them: "Not intended for work, only for testing and surfing sites from different geolocations." Since most users share them, most of their IPs may be blacklisted. The October 26 update made the pool 4 times larger and added 13 locations, but the pricing page still doesn't say what the 100, 300 or 1,000 count. For work, bring your own residential proxies or buy Sphere Proxy, Linken Sphere's pay-per-traffic residential proxies, sold separately on any plan, including Free.

The jump that matters is from Light to Pro. Everything that makes Linken Sphere special for automation and teams, the unlimited API, team roles, the session log, starts at $160 a month, or $128 on annual billing. Below that, it's a manual antidetect with a fast kernel.

Linken Sphere vs Dolphin{anty}, Multilogin and other antidetect browsers

How it compares at about 100 profiles on monthly billing. Prices and plans are from the vendors' pages on October 22, 2026; the last column shows how many days after Chrome each kernel shipped in September and October:

Linken Sphere wins on API limits and data control, and loses on price for teams. If your team needs roles and an API at 100 profiles, AdsPower or Multilogin cost a fraction of Pro. If you work alone, write your own scripts and want the kernel current, Linken Sphere is a strong pick from Pro. If you just need a free test, its 5 free sessions with no time limit are one of the better free plans.

Against Dolphin{anty}, the closest in price at 100 profiles, Linken Sphere gives 5 free sessions instead of 3 and a kernel that's as fast or a few days faster. But Dolphin's API and no-code scenario builder start at $10, so it's the better pick if you don't write code. Against Multilogin, Linken Sphere costs more than twice as much at 100 profiles; Multilogin includes unlimited seats there, but deletes free profiles after 7 days without use.
