AdsPower is one of the oldest names in the anti-detect browser world, and that matters. When you are choosing software that your whole operation runs on, a long track record counts. So this comparison is written the way we would want to read it ourselves: where AdsPower is genuinely strong, where BeastBrowser pulls ahead, and where the answer is simply "it depends on how many profiles you run."
One honest note before we start: we build BeastBrowser, so read us with that in mind. Every price below was verified in October 2026 on the official pricing pages. Prices move, so check the live pricing page before you buy — for either product.
The quick verdict
Pick BeastBrowser if you want a flat $30/month for unlimited profiles, an RPA recorder included in every plan, an in-app proxy store, and 24/7 human support on WhatsApp — your bill stays the same whether you run 20 profiles or 2,000.
Pick AdsPower if you run a small setup (roughly under 50 profiles), like their $9/month entry price, want their large template and RPA community, or need Firefox-engine profiles alongside Chromium. AdsPower has the bigger ecosystem and more tutorials floating around the internet.
Both have free plans. If you have an afternoon, try both before you decide — that is worth more than any review.
Pricing: where the math gets interesting
Last verified: October 2026. Monthly billing. Indicative — always check the official pricing page.
| BeastBrowser | AdsPower | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $30/mo (or $199/yr) | $9/mo (10 profiles) |
| Free plan | Yes — always free, no credit card | Yes — 2 profiles, free forever |
| Cost at 10 profiles | $30/mo | $9/mo |
| Cost at 50 profiles | $30/mo | Tiered — price rises with profile count |
| Cost at 100 profiles | $30/mo | $36/mo |
| Cost at 500 profiles | $30/mo | Business tier — custom pricing |
Here is the honest read of this table. At small scale, AdsPower is the cheaper bill — $9/month for your first 10 profiles is a genuinely good entry deal, and we will not pretend otherwise. The crossover point sits somewhere around 100 profiles, where AdsPower reaches about $36/month while BeastBrowser is still $30 flat. Past that, the gap keeps widening: BeastBrowser never moves off $30, while tiered pricing climbs with every block of profiles you add.
If your profile count is still growing — and in this line of work, it usually is — the flat price is really a bet on your future self. You stop doing pricing math every time you spin up a new account. For a wider look at how the whole market prices this, see our full anti-detect pricing comparison for 2026.
Features side by side
| Feature | BeastBrowser | AdsPower |
|---|---|---|
| Fingerprint engine | Isolated per-profile fingerprints | Custom fingerprints, with Chromium and Firefox engines — a real advantage if you need Firefox profiles |
| Proxies | In-app proxy store + manager — buy and attach without leaving the app | Bring your own — there is no built-in store, so you source and manage proxies yourself |
| RPA / automation | Included in every plan, with a no-code recorder | Full RPA on paid plans, limited on the free plan — AdsPower has a mature automation community with shared templates |
| API | Local API + MCP | Local API on paid plans |
| Team seats | Seats, roles and an audit log on the Team plan | Roles and permissions on paid tiers |
| Platforms | Windows and macOS included at the same price | Windows, macOS and Linux |
A few things worth spelling out. AdsPower's ecosystem is its quiet superpower: years of users means tutorials, templates, and answered questions everywhere. If you learn from community content, that has real value. BeastBrowser's design bet is different — fewer moving parts to pay for separately. The proxy store and the RPA recorder are not add-ons or higher tiers; they ship with the product. And while both browsers give you isolated fingerprints, AdsPower also offers a Firefox engine, which some teams need for specific workflows. If fingerprint basics are new to you, our beginner guide to browser fingerprinting explains what these tools are actually doing under the hood.
Support: the part people underestimate
| BeastBrowser | AdsPower | |
|---|---|---|
| Channels | 24/7 WhatsApp with a human, plus in-app chat and email | 24/7 chat and ticket system, multilingual |
| Style | Direct message, human reply | Ticket queue — solid documentation, but urgent issues wait in line |
This is the gap that only hurts when it hurts. When a campaign is live and a profile misbehaves at 2 a.m., the difference between messaging a human on WhatsApp and opening a ticket is the difference between a five-minute fix and a stalled morning. AdsPower's support is professional and well-documented — but it is a queue, and queues have wait times. We built BeastBrowser's support around WhatsApp precisely because our users work odd hours across time zones.
Which one fits you — an honest chooser
- BeastBrowser is the better fit if: you run (or plan to run) 50+ profiles, you want one flat bill that never moves, you want RPA and the recorder without paying for a higher tier, you would rather buy proxies inside the app, or you want a human on WhatsApp when things break.
- AdsPower is the better fit if: you run a small setup where the $9 entry plan covers you, you rely on their community templates and tutorials, you need Firefox-engine profiles, or you simply prefer the most established name in the category.
Switching from AdsPower to BeastBrowser in 5 steps
- Export your proxy list. Pull your proxy list (host, port, username, password) out of AdsPower into a CSV.
- Install BeastBrowser and start free. Create an account and begin on the free plan — no card required — with a few test profiles.
- Recreate your profiles. Keep the same naming convention you used before, so your records stay mapped one-to-one.
- Attach proxies. Import your existing list or grab fresh ones from the in-app proxy store — one profile, one proxy.
- Test, then migrate. Run fingerprint checkers on two or three profiles, run both browsers in parallel for about a week, then move the rest over.
No data loss in this process: proxies and cookies export cleanly, and a week of parallel running catches any mismatch before it costs you an account.
FAQ
Is AdsPower cheaper than BeastBrowser?
At small scale, yes — honestly. AdsPower starts at $9/month for 10 profiles while BeastBrowser is $30/month flat. The crossover is around 100 profiles ($36/mo vs $30/mo), and beyond that BeastBrowser stays flat while tiered pricing keeps climbing.
Does AdsPower have a free plan?
Yes — 2 profiles free forever, with limited RPA. Enough to test the product properly, not enough to run production work on.
Does BeastBrowser have a Firefox engine?
Not currently. If your workflow specifically needs Firefox-based profiles, AdsPower is the safer pick — this is one of their genuine advantages.
What is the real difference in support?
BeastBrowser gives you a human on WhatsApp, 24/7. AdsPower runs a 24/7 chat and ticket system. Both work; the difference shows up in urgent, middle-of-the-night situations where a queue means waiting.
Try BeastBrowser free
