Octo Browser — antidetect browser: rating and member reviews

Octo Browser sells one thing harder than anyone else: a kernel that keeps up with Chrome. Its changelog shows Octium, Octo's Chromium build, arriving about 2 days after each Chrome release, and on October 22, 2026 it shipped version 156 two days after Chrome did. You pay for that in euros and in missing extras: there's no free plan, no no-code automation, and the API on the 100-profile plan is limited to 50 requests a minute.

This review is built on what Octo publishes: its pricing page, Octium changelog, documentation and the App Store listing, all checked on October 22, 2026. For how Octo compares with Dolphin, AdsPower, GoLogin and Linken Sphere on the same facts, see Antidetect Browsers for Media Buyers 2026: Real Differences.

What is Octo Browser, and who makes it?

An antidetect browser built on its own Chromium kernel, Octium. It's run by BLACKBIRD SECURE BROWSING LTD, a UK company with a London address. Octo runs on Windows 10 and 11 and Windows Server, macOS 13 and later including Apple Silicon, and Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 and later, CentOS Stream 9, Arch and Kali), with separate apps for iOS and Android.

The company's pitch is the kernel. In its own words: "Octo Browser's fingerprint management is implemented in its Chromium-based kernel, which protects your device from additional spoofing checks." Each profile gets its own fingerprint, proxy and cookies, and the app also sells residential and mobile proxies with UDP support through a built-in Proxy Shop.

How fast does Octo follow Chrome?

About 2 days, and it's the most transparent about it. Octo keeps a dated Octium changelog on its docs site. Here's 2026 against Chrome's stable releases:

• 151. Chrome stable: July 28. Octium: July 30. Days behind Chrome: 2.
• 152. Chrome stable: August 25. Octium: August 31. Days behind Chrome: 6.
• 153. Chrome stable: September 8. Octium: September 10. Days behind Chrome: 2.
• 154. Chrome stable: September 22. Octium: September 24. Days behind Chrome: 2.
• 155. Chrome stable: October 6. Octium: October 8. Days behind Chrome: 2.
• 156. Chrome stable: October 20. Octium: October 22. Days behind Chrome: 2.

That matches the promise on the home page: "We update our Octium browser kernel as quickly as possible, so that no one notices any difference between Octo and Chrome sessions." Among the antidetects we checked, only Kameleo was as fast in October 2026. Since Chrome now ships every 2 weeks, a 2-day gap means your profiles almost always claim the current Chrome.

How good are Octo's fingerprints?

Octo says they come from real devices. The fingerprint page promises "an unlimited number of browser fingerprints of real devices" and more than 50 parameters you can configure, including Android profiles for "browsing on a smartphone or tablet." It doesn't publish more about the method than "kernel-level."

What outside sources say. Fingerprint, a company that sells device identification to websites, lists OctoBrowser among its examples of antidetect browsers in the description of its detection signal. In Browser Polygraph, an academic study presented at IMC 2024 and run on a financial company's traffic, the detector caught 84% of sessions from Octo Browser 1.10, a version from years ago. Neither tells you how today's Octium does. Both remind you that detectors study the popular tools first, and a fresh kernel doesn't save a profile with mismatched time zone, fonts or proxy.

Mobile: Android profiles and phone apps

On desktop, Octo creates profiles with Android fingerprints. That's been in the app since version 2.7 in September 2025.

The phone apps are separate products. The iOS app has been in the App Store since May 11, 2026 (version 1.5.4 on October 15, rated 3.7 from 21 ratings), and there's an Android app on Google Play. They keep their own mobile profiles: Octo's iOS announcement says "desktop profiles are only available in the desktop browser version, while iOS profiles are available only in the mobile app." During open testing new users get 100 mobile profiles for free. Octo has no cloud phones.

Automation: API and its limits

The API starts on Base, and the limits are tight at the bottom. Base allows 50 requests a minute and 500 an hour, Team 100 and 1,500, Advanced 200 and 3,000, with more on request. Lite and Starter have no API at all. That's far below Dolphin's 1,500 a minute or AdsPower's 300 on its cheapest paid plan.

What the API covers is solid: profiles, proxies, tags and folders, import and export, team management, one-time profiles, and launching profiles for Playwright, Puppeteer, Pyppeteer and Selenium over CDP. What's missing: we found no no-code builder, no synchronizer and no MCP support in Octo's docs. If you work by hand on many accounts, you'll miss Dolphin's scenarios or AdsPower's RPA.

Team work: tokens, seats and the action log

Teams start on the Team plan. Lite, Starter and Base are owner-only. Team includes 3 members plus the owner and lets you add up to 3 more; Advanced includes 8 plus the owner with no cap. An extra member costs 25 tokens a month on Team and 20 on Advanced, and Octo's referral docs state that "1 token equals 1 Euro."

Access rights are fine-grained: per folder, profile, template, tag and proxy. Every plan, including Lite, has an action log where the owner sees what happened, and the API offers an audit stream. Profile transfer to other users starts on Base.

In money: 3 people on about 100 profiles means the Team plan, 169 EUR a month with 350 profiles. That's the price of a team at Octo; at AdsPower the same 3 people on 100 profiles cost $46, at Dolphin $109.

Signing up, payment and our link

There's no free plan. New users can try Starter for 2 days with the code TRIAL, once. The phone apps are free during open testing. Sign up through our link and choose a plan in the client.

You pay in tokens. The balance is topped up in the client by invoice, with a minimum of 7 tokens, by bank card or in crypto: BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT (ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20), USDC (ERC-20), TRX, BCH, SOL and GRAM. Subscriptions, extra profiles and team members are then paid from that balance.

If you want to refer people yourself, Octo's referral program pays 15% of each payment your referred users make for 360 days after they register. Each payment is reviewed for 14 days, and you can withdraw from 10 tokens to your own Octo balance or from 100 tokens to a USDT or USDC wallet.

Octo Browser vs other antidetect browsers

• Dolphin{anty}. 100 profiles, monthly: $89 (Base). 3 people, about 100 profiles: $109. API limit at that price: 1,500 a minute. No-code automation: scenario builder, synchronizer. Chromium kernel on October 22: 155.

Octo vs Dolphin{anty} is kernel speed against workflow. Octo ships new Chromium 4 to 7 days sooner and keeps a dated changelog on its site; Dolphin gives you no-code scenarios, a synchronizer and a 30 times higher API limit for a similar price at 100 profiles. Our Dolphin{anty} review goes into its workflow.

Octo vs GoLogin is quality against price. GoLogin costs half as much at 100 profiles and has a refund window, but its Orbita kernel ran about 5 weeks behind Chrome this year. See our GoLogin review.

Octo vs Multilogin is the premium pair. Multilogin sells 100 profiles with unlimited seats for $40 and adds cloud Android phones on real devices; Octo keeps the faster, better documented kernel and finer access rights per member.
