Comparison
Argus and Multilogin, side by side
A sourced, dated comparison of Argus and Multilogin: bundled proxy traffic, team roles, profile export, automation and AI, each row read from Multilogin's own documentation.
Comparison pages are usually written by whoever wants to win them, so here is how this one is built. Every Multilogin row below was read from their own site and documentation on 17 August 2026, and each cell links to the page it came from. Anything we could not find on their site is left out rather than guessed at — a blank row here means we did not verify it, never that the feature is missing. And the rows Argus loses are in the table with the rest of them.
Before the table
Which of these is for you
Multilogin sells the proxies with the product — every paid tier carries a monthly allowance of residential traffic — runs Android cloud phones, ships a Linux build, and has four named team roles scoped to assigned folders. It also exports a profile to a file with its fingerprint, cookies and saved logins inside, which is the single capability most people ask for when they move tools.
Argus is for people who already buy their own proxies and want the layer above them instead: a 24-step automation builder, a calendar, datasets the workspace owns, and an assistant running on model keys you bring. Argus sells no bandwidth, has no Linux build, and cannot export a profile as a portable file.
The sourced table
Argus and Multilogin, row by row
Cells are sentences rather than ticks. Two ticks in a captcha row would hide the thing that decides it — whether every solve costs money — and the same is true of half the rows below.
| Capability | Argus | Multilogin |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Yes — 5 profiles, 2 automations, no card | Free forever — 5 cloud mobile and browser profiles, with one-time bonuses of 200 MB proxy traffic and 30 mobile minutesSource |
| Cheapest paid plan | $89 / 30 days for 100 profiles | $11 / month for Pro 10 (10 profiles, 1 seat); $29 for Pro 50, $40 for Pro 100, Business from $89 at 300 profilesSource |
| Desktop builds | macOS on Apple Silicon and Windows 10/11 x64. No Linux, no Intel Mac, no mobile | Windows 10 and later, macOS 14 Sonoma and later including Apple Silicon, and Ubuntu 22 and later. “Multilogin is designed for desktop devices only and doesn’t support mobile devices like phones or tablets”Source |
| No-code automation | Yes — 24 step types, with schedules and datasets, on every plan including free | Documented through code: “Connect workflows through API, ADB, Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, or Postman”Source |
| AI assistant | Yes — an assistant with 18 skills, running on AI provider keys you bring; Argus sells no tokens or credits | AI Quick Actions, which “transforms text prompts into automated action sequences”. Whether it runs on a key you supply is not stated on that pageSource |
| Captcha solving | Built in: “Solves reCAPTCHA in the browser itself, on CPU. No account, no per-solve fee.” | Handed to a solving service you supply: “Multilogin (via integration or script) sends the CAPTCHA to your solving service”Source |
| Team seats | Up to 10 seats on Team and 25 on Enterprise, sharing one pool. No per-resource permission model yet | Four roles — Owner (“full control over everything”), Manager, Operator (“only managing assigned folders and profiles”) and Starter. Seats by tier, unlimited on BusinessSource |
| Moving profiles in and out | CSV import and export of profile rows, plus cookie files matched to profiles by name. There is no single-file export carrying a profile's fingerprint and cookies together | A profile exports to an encrypted archive holding “Metadata (fingerprint settings)”, “Browser data (cookies, extensions, saved logins, etc.)” and cached files, and imports elsewhere. Available on Pro 50 and higher, owner onlySource |
| Proxy management | Shared library with health checks for egress IP, country, latency and datacenter exits; a failed check blocks the launch. Argus sells no proxies | Multilogin sells the traffic as well as the browser — every paid tier includes a monthly allowance of premium proxy traffic, with more available on topSource |
| Crypto payment | Yes — card through Revolut or crypto through OxaPay | Cards including Apple Pay and Google Pay, which renew automatically, and 80+ cryptocurrencies paid manually by invoiceSource |
Every Multilogin row above was read from Multilogin's own documentation on 17 August 2026; the Argus rows come from our own reference. These products change often, and we would rather correct this page than defend it — tell us if something here is out of date. Anything we could not verify on their site is left out of the table rather than guessed at.
What actually differs
One of these sells you the proxies
Multilogin's plans include a monthly allowance of premium residential and mobile traffic, and more can be bought on top. That is genuinely simpler: one bill, one support desk, and nothing to shop for. Argus sells no bandwidth at all — you bring proxies from whichever provider you already use into a shared library, and the product's job is to check them rather than to sell them. Health checks report egress IP, country, latency and whether the exit sits on a datacenter network, name the provider behind it, and block the launch when a check fails rather than falling back to your own connection. Which model is cheaper depends entirely on what you already pay for traffic, and we are not in a position to guess that for you.
What actually differs
Multilogin can hand a whole profile to someone else. Argus cannot
This is the row where Argus loses outright, and it is worth being plain about it. A Multilogin profile exports to an encrypted archive carrying its fingerprint settings, cookies, saved logins and cached data, and imports into another installation. Argus has CSV import and export of profile rows — names, proxies, folders, tags, start pages, operating system, user agent, language and timezone — and can match a folder of cookie files to profiles by name, but there is no single file that carries a profile's identity and its session together. If your work involves handing finished, logged-in profiles to clients, that is a real reason to choose the other product, and it is why the switching guide on this site does not pretend an importer exists.
What actually differs
Roles, and the honest state of teams in Argus
Multilogin documents four roles — Owner with “full control over everything”, Manager, Operator limited to assigned folders, and Starter, which only launches what it is given. Argus has seats on a shared workspace and no per-resource permission model: everyone in an organization sees the same pool of profiles, proxies and cookie sets. Writes are safe under concurrency — every write touches a single row, so two people on the same list cannot overwrite each other — and plan limits are enforced in the database rather than only in the interface. But per-resource permissions and an activity log do not exist yet, and the teamwork page on this site says so in the same words.
The honest part
Where Argus is the wrong answer
Four things about Argus that a table makes it easy to skim past. If any of them is load-bearing for you, buy the other one — a refund and a bad review cost us more than the sale was worth.
- The desktop builds are macOS on Apple Silicon and Windows 10/11 on x64. There is no Linux build, no Intel Mac build and no mobile app.
- Everything runs on your machine. There is no hosted API and no cloud runner, so nothing happens while the app is closed — a schedule entry whose slot passed with the launcher shut is marked missed and skipped, never caught up.
- The cheapest paid plan is $89 for 30 days. Several products in this category start lower.
- Teams share one pool with no per-resource permissions and no activity log yet — both are named as missing on the teamwork page rather than implied.
The rest of what Argus does not do yet is written down on the teamwork page and in what an anti-detect browser cannot do.
Moving over
What actually transfers, and what does not
Profiles do not move between these tools the way files move between folders. There is no shared format, and the part that matters most — a profile's cookies and its fingerprint together — is the part that travels worst. What genuinely carries over, what has to be rebuilt, and the order to do it in are on the switching page, written without pretending an importer exists that does not.
