BeastBrowser vs ixBrowser: Free vs Free — What $3.99 and $30 Actually Buy (2026)

By Ajay Mishra, Team BeastBrowser

Disclosure up front: I work on BeastBrowser, so this is our own comparison against ixBrowser. Every number below is checkable — pricing was verified on both official pricing pages on 2026-11-12, and where I cite a review instead of an official page, I say so with the date. Prices move; check the official pricing page before you buy.

Quick verdict

Short answer: Pick ixBrowser if budget is everything — its free plan holds 100 profiles for $0, and its cheapest paid plan is $3.99 a month. Pick BeastBrowser if you run accounts for a living and cannot afford daily caps, a paywalled API, or waiting on support — flat $30 a month buys unlimited profiles with no daily meters, RPA and the recorder included on every plan including free, an in-app proxy store, and a human on WhatsApp 24/7. The honest version: ixBrowser wins on price at every size. BeastBrowser wins on what happens after you start working.

Price comparison

Last verified: 2026-11-12, from ixbrowser.com/pricing and beastbrowser.com/pricing. ixBrowser yearly prices are monthly-equivalents at up to 30% off; the site shows yearly prices only at checkout.

There is no way to write around this: ixBrowser is dramatically cheaper. Its top tier, Enterprise at $19.99 a month, still costs less than BeastBrowser's $30 — and it comes with 150 team seats. If your only question is "what is the cheapest anti-detect browser that actually works", ixBrowser is the answer, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. The rest of this post is about the two questions that come after price: what the free plan actually lets you do, and what breaks first when the work gets serious.

Free plan head-to-head: 100 profiles vs 5 a day

Read the table the right way round. ixBrowser's free plan is the better browser: 100 profiles, two seats, cloud sync, and its own claim — "the free version meets the anti-detect needs of over 95% of users, with no compromise on fingerprinting technology." BeastBrowser's free plan is the better workbench: only 5 profiles a day, but the API, the synchronizer, RPA and the proxy store are all switched on from day one, which is exactly the kit ixBrowser keeps behind its $3.99 paywall. One small correction to something you will read elsewhere: several reviews describe ixBrowser Free as "unlimited profiles". The official pricing page says 100. A hundred is generous — but it is not unlimited, and a review that gets that wrong is a review to double-check on everything else too.

What $3.99 buys, and what it still meters

ixBrowser Professional at $3.99 a month is one of the cheapest paid plans in this whole category, and it unlocks the lot: unlimited profiles, the API, the synchronizer, advanced cloud storage, profile transfer, batch import and advanced fingerprint control. What it does not remove is the meter. Professional allows 100 profile creations and 1,000 opens a day, plus 300 extra creations and 3,000 extra opens a month. Business ($9.99) raises that to 500 creations and 5,000 opens a day; Enterprise ($19.99) to 1,500 and 15,000. For a library you build once and open a few times a day, those caps may never bite. For a Monday morning where you need 300 fresh profiles before lunch, they bite on the free plan at 10 — and on Professional at 100.

BeastBrowser's $30 has no meter at all: unlimited profiles, unlimited creations, unlimited opens, one flat price, on one PC. That is the whole pitch, and it is either worth $30 to you or it is not. If you open 40 profiles a day and never touch automation, ixBrowser Professional saves you $26 a month and you should take it. If you run a team that creates profiles in batches, syncs actions across windows, and needs an API that does not ask for a higher tier first, the meter is the cost — and $30 flat is cheaper than the afternoon you lose to it.

Two honest differences the price table hides

Where your profiles live. ixBrowser stores profiles encrypted in the cloud and syncs them — open a profile from any device, hand it to a teammate with permissions. BeastBrowser stores profiles locally on your PC, encrypted, and one account licenses one PC. Cloud sync is genuinely convenient; local storage is genuinely private. There is no right answer here, only a preference: if "my profiles exist on someone else's server" bothers you, that feeling is the product difference. If you work from two machines, the lack of sync will bother you more.

How fresh the browser engine is. An independent review that checked ixBrowser's update log on 2026-10-22/23 found its kernel at Chromium 151 — five versions behind Chrome 156 at the time — with new kernels landing every three Chrome versions. A stale kernel is not a broken product, but fingerprints are partly a freshness game: the further the engine drifts from what real users run, the easier the pattern is to spot. BeastBrowser ships desktop v2.2.12 as of this writing. I have not run my own kernel test on ixBrowser; I am reporting a dated third-party check, and you can verify the current kernel on their update log before you decide.

BeastBrowser se kaise karo — the free-vs-free test I would run

Do not take my word for any of this. Both free plans cost $0, so run them against each other for a week.

1. Build the same 5 profiles in both. Same proxy, same fingerprint settings as far as each tool allows. In BeastBrowser, create a profile, attach one proxy to it, and keep the pairing fixed — one profile, one proxy, never shared between profiles.
2. Check what the proxy actually reveals. Before either browser touches a real account, run the proxy through the free Proxy Health & Anonymity Level Checker — transparent, anonymous or elite. A transparent proxy is worse than no proxy, whichever browser you use. If the proxy string is messy, format it first with the free Proxy Syntax Parser.
3. Try the automation on the free plan. This is where the two free plans split: record one RPA flow in BeastBrowser and try the same task in ixBrowser Free. If you never automate, this step costs you nothing and tells you nothing — skip it and save the $30. If you do automate, you will know within an hour which free plan is actually free for your work.
4. Count your daily opens for a week. If you stay under 100 opens and 10 creations a day, ixBrowser Free may be all you ever need. If you cross 100 opens twice in a week, you have found your paywall — $3.99 a month on ixBrowser, or $30 flat on BeastBrowser with no meter at all.
5. Ask support one real question. BeastBrowser answers on WhatsApp 24/7 with a human. ixBrowser lists professional customer service with no public 24/7 promise I could find. The answer you get — and how fast — is worth more than any feature table.

FAQ

Is ixBrowser really free?
Yes — the free plan never ends. It holds 100 profiles with 10 creations and 100 opens a day, 2 team seats, and no API, synchronizer or advanced fingerprint control. There is no trial to sign up for, because there is nothing to expire.

Which is cheaper — ixBrowser or BeastBrowser?
ixBrowser, at every size. Free is $0 with 100 profiles against BeastBrowser's 5 a day; Professional is $3.99 a month against BeastBrowser's $30 flat. BeastBrowser's case is not price — it is no daily caps, automation included on the free plan, and 24/7 human support.

Does ixBrowser include proxies?
No. No proxy bandwidth is included on any plan, and there is no in-app proxy store — you bring your own proxies. BeastBrowser has an in-app Proxy Store on every plan, including free, plus a proxy manager with bulk check.

Can I use both?
Yes, and for a small operation that is the sensible setup: ixBrowser Free for a large library of low-churn profiles, BeastBrowser Free for the five profiles a day where you need RPA, the API, or the proxy store. Pay for the one whose paywall you hit first.

Which is better for a team?
ixBrowser scales seats cheaply — 20 seats at $3.99, 50 at $9.99, 150 at $19.99 — with cloud sync and role permissions. BeastBrowser licenses one PC per account and keeps profiles local. A distributed team will feel that difference on day one.
