BeastBrowser vs Octo Browser: Free Plan vs Paid-Only (2026)

By Ajay Mishra, Team BeastBrowser

Disclosure up front: I work on BeastBrowser, so this is our own comparison against Octo Browser. Every number below is checkable — pricing was verified on both official pricing pages on 2026-11-08, with Octo's docs and independent pricing round-ups as cross-checks. Octo's prices are in euros and exclude VAT. Prices move; check the official pricing page before you buy.

Quick verdict

Short answer: Pick BeastBrowser if you want to start free (5 local profiles a day, no card), flat $30/month for unlimited profiles, RPA and the recorder included on every plan, an in-app proxy store, and a human on WhatsApp 24/7 — your bill never grows as you add accounts. Pick Octo Browser if you want a fast, polished Chromium core, cloud-synced profiles you can open from any device, a built-in residential proxy store, and you are comfortable with per-profile tiered pricing from €10 to €329 a month. The one thing to know before you try Octo: there is no free plan.

Price comparison

Last verified: 2026-11-08. Monthly billing. Octo prices in EUR, excluding VAT.

The honest part most comparisons skip: Octo is cheaper than BeastBrowser at exactly one size — 3 profiles for €10 a month — and BeastBrowser's free plan already covers 5 profiles a day for $0. At 10 profiles the two are effectively tied (€29 against $30). Past that the gap opens fast: 100 profiles costs €79 a month on Octo's Base plan against a flat $30, 350 profiles €169 against $30, and 1,200 profiles €329 against $30. Annual billing narrows it but does not close it — Base at €56 a month is still nearly double BeastBrowser's $199 a year, about $16.58 a month. Octo's cheapest paid entry is real, but it buys 3 profiles, not a business.

Feature comparison

Support comparison

This is the biggest day-to-day gap. Octo runs a chat and ticket queue; BeastBrowser answers on WhatsApp, 24/7, from a human. When a campaign is live and a profile misbehaves, waiting on a ticket costs real money — that is the moment support stops being a line item and becomes the product.

Which one is better for you — honest chooser

• BeastBrowser is better if: you want to try before you pay, you run 50+ profiles, you want a flat budget that never moves, you want RPA included rather than scripted through an API, you want the proxy store in the same place as the browser, or you want WhatsApp support.
• Octo Browser is better if: you value the fastest Chromium updates and a polished interface, you need cloud-synced profiles across devices, the built-in residential proxy store does real work for you, or you run a small fixed set of profiles on Lite or Starter and the tiered price fits.

Switching from Octo to BeastBrowser — 5 steps

1. Export your proxy list: pull your proxies (host/port/user/pass) out of Octo's proxy manager into a CSV — or buy fresh from BeastBrowser's in-app proxy store.
2. Install BeastBrowser and start free: create an account and begin on the free plan — 5 local profiles a day, no card.
3. Recreate your profiles: keep the same naming convention so your mapping does not break. Profiles live locally instead of in the cloud — that is the trade-off, and the reason your data never leaves your machine.
4. Rebuild automations: map Octo API calls to BeastBrowser's local API/MCP, or rebuild the flow with the no-code recorder — usually faster than porting code.
5. Test, then migrate: run fingerprint checkers on 2–3 profiles, run both browsers in parallel for a week, then cancel the Octo subscription.

FAQ

Q1: Does Octo Browser have a free plan?
A: No — there is no free plan. The cheapest way in is Lite at €10/month for 3 profiles. Octo has offered a 2-day Starter trial via a promo code; check their pricing page for the current offer.

Q2: Which is cheaper at 100 profiles?
A: BeastBrowser ($30 flat) vs Octo Base (€79/mo monthly, €56/mo on annual billing). At 1,200 profiles the gap widens: $30 vs €329/mo.

Q3: Does Octo have RPA?
A: No built-in no-code RPA — automation is API-based from the Base plan (€79/mo). On BeastBrowser, RPA + recorder is included on every plan, free included.

Q4: Do both have a proxy store?
A: Yes — Octo's built-in residential proxy store is a genuine strength, and BeastBrowser's in-app proxy store is included on every plan too.

Q5: Cloud profiles or local profiles?
A: Octo stores encrypted profiles in its cloud, so you can open them from any device. BeastBrowser stores them encrypted locally on your PC only (1 PC per licence) — local control and privacy, but no anywhere access.
