Genlogin Alternatives: Where Your Profiles Live

Genlogin is an antidetect browser with a Cloud Phone product bolted alongside it, and it is unusually clear about storage. Its documentation has a page titled Cloud vs Local, which opens: "Local profiles are saved on your computer, while Cloud profiles are stored in the cloud and can be easily shared between accounts."

Two details on that page matter more than the headline. First, cloud is the default, not the option. The docs say Genlogin lets you "choose to synchronize data with the cloud server (Cloud Profile) by default to share with other members," and the walkthrough notes that Create Profile "checks the 'Sharing on Cloud' option by default." Anyone who never opens the storage settings has their cookie jars on the vendor's infrastructure. Genlogin's software FAQ names it: asked "Where is Genlogin Server?", the answer is "Amazon Web Services (AWS)."

Second, the local mode carries a warning that points straight back at the cloud. Choose Local and "all data is only stored on your computer. However, you need to consider backing up the profiles in case of losing the folder containing the Genlogin directory." The documented way to do that backup is to upload the profiles to Genlogin: the page closes by telling you to protect against a Windows reinstall "by sharing local profiles to the cloud section." So the local option exists, and the only first-party backup for it is the thing you chose local to avoid.

You can at least see and move the folder. Settings has a Storage pane whose purpose is "Storage location: Path where profile is stored," with a stated use case of moving profile data to a drive with more room. Settings also has a Network pane that switches "between Vietnam Server and International Server," which is a jurisdiction choice presented as a latency control.

One more constraint shapes how teams actually use cloud profiles. Genlogin's system FAQ asks whether an account works on several devices at once and answers: "Yes, there is no limit, but you can only run 1 profile on 1 machine at a time, not run the same profile at the same time." A cloud profile is portable between machines, not concurrent across them. The same FAQ adds that "Only 1 account can be logged in on 1 computer."

Ten days is the shortest published grace period of any tool here, and the exact wording repays a second read: "Within 10 days without an update, or without receiving any information from you, your data will be lost." A lapsed card over a holiday is inside that window. So is a failed renewal you miss because the notice went to a shared inbox.

Pair that with what Genlogin's Privacy and Security Policy does and does not say. It says: "We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site and within Genlogin's software ecosystem, and we reserve the right to access and use the information provided voluntarily by users across the Genlogin ecosystem." On security it offers one sentence: "We implement security measures to protect customer information and prevent misuse."

Read that as a contract rather than marketing. There is no named encryption scheme, no statement about who holds the keys, no retention schedule for profile data, and no deletion commitment with a timescale. The only time-bound storage promise Genlogin publishes anywhere is the ten-day one, and it runs in the direction of deletion. The ownership clause is the sharper half: a vendor that calls itself the sole owner of data in its ecosystem, with a reserved right of access, has told you who can read your session cookies.

Genlogin's published prices put the sync feature on the paid side of the line. The free tier lists five profiles with the Synchronizer, automation tasking and the mini-app interface. Cloud data sync appears first on Mini Plus at $15 per month, or $10 per month on the yearly billing the site labels as minus 50 percent. Solo Plus is $29.25 monthly or $19.50 yearly for 150 profiles and five members, Team Plus is $66.75 or $45.50 for 450 profiles and fifteen members, and Company Plus is $141.75 or $94.50 for 1,500 profiles and forty members. Genlogin's homepage claims more than 200,000 users, which is the vendor's own figure and not something anyone outside the company can check.

Sharing is where the read-access question gets concrete. Genlogin's Share Profile doc lets you grant a profile to "any account, including Free accounts," with four permission levels: Read, Sync Data, Edit and Delete. Granting Delete to an outside address is a documented, one-click capability. If you run sub-accounts for contractors, that permission matrix is the actual security boundary around a logged-in session, not the fingerprint engine.

Here is the part that decides whether Genlogin is a tool or a landlord. Search its documentation for a profile export and you will find one export path: cookies. The Cookies page describes importing cookies "in JSON format when initializing a profile," then exporting them by "clicking on the three dots of the profile you want to export and selecting 'Export cookies.'" It adds a detail worth knowing before you plan a migration: "The exported file will be saved as json.txt."

Cookies are not a profile. Genlogin's own Settings page proves it: the Browser pane has a toggle called "Sync IndexebDB," described as synchronizing the "profile's local database data." A tool that treats IndexedDB as a separate syncable surface is telling you that IndexedDB holds state, and a cookies-only export does not contain it. Modern logins increasingly park refresh tokens and device-trust markers there rather than in cookies alone. Export the cookies, import them elsewhere, and some accounts come up logged in while others present a fresh device challenge.

There is no documented way to export the fingerprint configuration either. The hardware, WebRTC, timezone and user-agent set Genlogin generated for a profile stays inside Genlogin. Recreating it elsewhere means building a new identity for an account with months of history tied to the old one, which is exactly when platforms ask for re-verification.

Two operational limits compound this. Bulk delete is capped: "You can only delete a maximum of 100 profiles at a time." And Genlogin supports Windows 10 64-bit plus a macOS build, with 32-bit Windows explicitly unsupported, so a plan that assumed an old bulk-processing box needs a different machine.

None of this makes Genlogin a bad browser. It makes Genlogin a vendor whose exit is cookies-shaped. Price that before you grow to 450 profiles, not after. On the wider trade-off between browser-side and network-side identity, see antidetect browsers versus proxies.

Every tool in this category says it is secure. The claims become comparable only when you ask for specifics, and all five answers below sit in pages vendors already publish, usually in a billing FAQ rather than a security page.

Does a local-only mode exist, and is it the default? A storage toggle buried three clicks deep with cloud pre-checked is not the same product as local-first. Check the create-profile flow, not the feature list.

What is the published retention period after a lapsed subscription? Almost nobody prints this on the pricing page. Genlogin says ten days. Octo Browser and Undetectable both say six months. Incogniton publishes no number at all.

Can you export a whole profile, or only cookies, and does that export cost extra? Treat the export button as a priced feature, because at two of the vendors below it literally is one.

Who holds the encryption key? "Encrypted cloud servers" with vendor-managed keys and user-held-key encryption are different security models wearing the same marketing phrase. Look for a doc that tells you to save a key file.

Can one profile be open on two machines at once? The answer is almost always no, and how a vendor handles the collision tells you how much machinery sits between you and your cookies.

Our antidetect browser pricing comparison covers the plan ladders; this post is about what the plans are holding.

Undetectable is the only tool here that lets you keep cloud profiles without the vendor keeping them. Its documentation calls the feature Private Storage, and the pitch is explicit: "There is an option to connect your own server and store cloud profiles on it, simultaneously gaining security and independence, as well as convenience of working in a team and synchronization between devices. In this case, you will not have to pay for the number of cloud profiles."

The setup is as plain as it sounds. You buy a Private Storage slot, rent a server anywhere you like, connect over SSH, run the installer the docs publish as wget https://cdn.undetectable.io/download/install_private_storage.sh, then point the admin panel at the host. Sync, team sharing and multi-device access keep working; the bytes sit on hardware you chose in a jurisdiction you chose. Private cloud storage appears on the Custom plan at an extra $500 per month, the honest price of that independence at scale.

On the default plans Undetectable is equally direct about the split. Its docs state that "Unlike local profiles, which are stored directly on your device, cloud profiles are stored on Undetectable servers," and the app marks each one: a cloud icon for cloud, a hard disk icon for local. Profiles convert both ways, and the transfer doc describes moving them between machines either by import and export or by pushing to the cloud and choosing "make local" on the second computer.

Two published details are worth more than the feature list. First, export is plan-gated. The docs say "you can import (starting from the Base plan) and export (starting from the Professional plan) profiles," and the pricing page agrees: Base at $34 per month ($412 per year) lists import and cookie export, while Export local profiles and Proxy export arrive on Professional at $69 per month ($832 per year). The door out of Undetectable costs $35 a month more than the door in. That is unusual only in being measurable.

Second, the pricing FAQ answers the lapse question with a sentence that separates storage from access: "Access to local profiles will be suspended until the license is paid. Cloud profiles will be frozen and kept on our servers for six months." Local does not mean reachable. The files are on your disk and the application will not open them until you pay, which is worth internalising before you treat local storage as a hedge against billing problems.

Undetectable also publishes a cloud-profile audit trail, logging date and time, the username, whether the action succeeded, and whether it came from the program or the API. And its doc on resetting a Locked profile is candid about the concurrency cost: the Locked state "can only occur with cloud profiles, as they are the only ones that synchronize between user devices and servers," clearing it requires typing RESET in the cloud panel, and you "may lose some data from the incorrectly synchronized session." We have a fuller teardown in Undetectable Browser alternatives.

MoreLogin builds the local-versus-cloud distinction into its own homepage, which offers "dedicated browser profiles, locally or in the cloud" and then splits the product into Local Browser Profiles for "daily account work on your device" and Cloud Browser Sessions for remote and scheduled work. The Cloud Browser doc, updated 11 August 2026, describes genuine remote execution rather than sync: "The browser kernel, webpage rendering, and network requests are all processed in the cloud. Your local device only receives the video stream and sends keyboard and mouse input." It bills at 0.6 credits per minute, and the doc warns that "Closing the local client does not stop the Cloud Browser," which is how people discover credit burn.

The reason MoreLogin earns a slot on this axis is its encryption doc, dated 21 January 2026. End-to-end encryption is opt-in per profile, and enabling it generates a key that you are told to put somewhere yourself: the instructions say to "find a suitable folder to save your key file." You then choose how often the key is checked, either once per new device, once per client login, or every time an encrypted profile starts, and you can retroactively encrypt profiles you already created. The stated purpose is to "prevent the account from being lost after being logged in by others."

That is a materially different claim from "we encrypt your data." A key file the user stores is key custody the user holds, and it is the only such mechanism documented by any vendor here. Verify the behaviour yourself before relying on it, because an opt-in feature with a user-held key is also a feature you can lose by losing the file.

MoreLogin's cache documentation then supplies the most useful single fact in this post. Clearing a profile's data offers three choices: Clear Cache for This Computer, Clear Cache for Cloud, and Clear This Computer and Cloud. The doc names what is in scope: localStorage, IndexedDB, extensions and their data, and cookies. That confirms the thing most buyers assume away. On a synced tool your session state exists in two places at once, and wiping one copy does not wipe the other. If you ever offboarded a contractor by clearing a profile on their laptop, the cloud copy was still there.

Portability has a documented ceiling too. MoreLogin's Transfer feature hands a profile to another MoreLogin team using the recipient super-admin's email and a six-digit code, "cannot be undone," and loses things on the way: "When transferring a profile, you cannot transfer the profile's bookmarks, extensions, and extension data." Only free proxies move with it, not platform proxies. That is intra-vendor handover, not an export. Deleted profiles sit in a Trash with a seven-day window, and the doc is precise that a profile deleted on the 1st "must be restored by 24:00 on the 7th day." Pricing is a $0 Free Forever tier with 2 profiles and 2 users that still includes Profile transfer, the Local API and Selenium or Puppeteer, then Pro from $9 per month monthly or $5.40 per month on yearly billing. See also MoreLogin alternatives.

Everything above negotiates with a vendor over your cookies. Camoufox removes the counterparty. It is an open-source antidetect Firefox build with no account, no subscription and no server component, and its profile is an ordinary browser profile directory at a path you choose. In the Python launcher you pass persistent_context=True together with user_data_dir, pointed wherever you want, and that folder is the whole identity. Backing it up is tar. Exporting it is cp. Nobody can freeze it, and no retention clock applies, because there is no vendor holding anything.

The maintenance evidence, read from the repository on 9 October 2026: the project is not archived, the default branch was last pushed on 8 October 2026, and the most recent release is v156.0.1-beta.36, published 6 October 2026. The three newest commits are dated 8 October 2026 ("Remove old sponsor") and 6 October 2026 ("Publish the npm package as camoufox instead of @camoufox/camoufox" and "Install the paired browser on first launch"). The Python package on PyPI is at 0.5.8, uploaded 6 October 2026. The repository shows 12,428 stars. Licensing is split and documented: the browser itself is MPL-2.0, matching the Firefox source it patches, while the Python and TypeScript launchers are MIT.

Those dates are the point of citing them. "Actively maintained" is a claim anyone can make about a repository that has not moved in a year, so the figures above are commit and release timestamps rather than an adjective, and you can re-read them in a minute.

Camoufox is also honest about its limits in a way commercial tools rarely are. Its README states plainly that "Camoufox does not fully support injecting Chromium fingerprints," noting that some protection systems test for SpiderMonkey engine behaviour, which a Firefox build cannot hide. If your targets expect Chrome, that is disqualifying. There is no profile manager UI, no team seats, no permission matrix and no support desk. You are trading a vendor relationship for engineering time.

So Camoufox is the right answer when profiles are created and driven by code, and the wrong answer when non-technical operators need to click into fifty accounts a day. It is also the only tool here where the migration question is meaningless, which makes it a useful reference point for pricing everything else. We compared the engine side of it in Camoufox versus Playwright Firefox.

Octo Browser belongs here as the clean cloud-only case. There is no local storage mode to evaluate, and Octo does not pretend otherwise. What it does do is publish the number that matters: "Profiles are kept in your account for 6 months. If you do not purchase or renew a subscription within 6 months, all profiles in your account are deleted." Compared with Genlogin's ten days, that is eighteen times the runway on the same failure mode, and it is the clearest argument in Octo's favour for anyone whose billing is handled by somebody else.

On security Octo makes a specific claim and a vaguer one. The specific part: "Profile passwords enable end-to-end encryption of your data," alongside two-factor authentication and an Action Log for tracking profile activity, with access rights assignable by tag. The vaguer part, which is the vendor's own unverified assertion rather than a measurement: "We've had no data leaks throughout the entirety of Octo's history," plus a stated uptime of 99.995 percent. Treat both as claims by an interested party. The encryption statement is thinner on key custody than MoreLogin's, since it never says who holds the key material.

On concurrency Octo reads as more permissive than Genlogin until you parse it. Asked about one account on several devices, it says there are no restrictions on device count and that "you also can work with different profiles simultaneously on multiple devices." Different profiles, not the same profile. That is the rule Genlogin states, phrased from the generous end.

Octo prices in euros, which matters if you are comparing against dollar plans. Lite is EUR 10 per month for 3 profiles, Starter EUR 29 for 30 profiles, Base EUR 79 for 200 profiles with API access, Team EUR 169 for 600 profiles and 6 members, and Advanced EUR 329. Term discounts run 10 percent at three months, 20 percent at six and 30 percent at twelve. Note the shape: no local option at any price, and the API arrives at EUR 79. More on the tool in Octo Browser alternatives and on the category in cloud antidetect browsers.

Incogniton is in this list to make one point unmissable: on some tools, getting your data out is a paid upgrade, and the entry plan does not include it.

Read Incogniton's own feature matrix. On Starter Plus at $19.99 per month, Cookie export is marked unavailable. So is Profile transfer between users, so is Restore deleted profiles, and so is REST API access. All four appear on Entrepreneur at $29.99 per month. The pricing FAQ repeats it in prose, listing what the free package excludes: "Export cookies from your browser profiles," "Transfer browser profiles between Incogniton users," and the "Ability to restore deleted profiles."

On the $19.99 tier you can hold ten logged-in identities and cannot export a single cookie through the product. That is not a hidden term; it is printed in the comparison table. It is the cleanest demonstration of the rule this post is built on: a vendor with no export is a vendor you cannot leave, and a vendor that sells export as a tier upgrade has put a price on leaving.

The storage model is cloud sync with a vendor-managed key, described on the homepage as: "Access your browser profiles from all your devices. Your data is also securely saved in our encrypted cloud servers." There is no claim that you hold the key, and no key file to save. Incogniton's privacy policy commits to no specific retention period, saying only that it "will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy," with the standard candour that it "cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security."

The rest of the ladder: a free starter giving 10 profiles for two months before dropping to 3, Starter Plus at $19.99 monthly or $13.99 on six-month billing, Entrepreneur at $29.99 or $20.99, Professional at $79.99 or $55.99 for 150 profiles and 3 seats, and Custom from $149.99 for 500-plus profiles, with a slider reaching 5,000 profiles and 25 seats. Discounts are 30 percent at six months and 40 percent yearly. Fuller treatment in Incogniton alternatives.

Everything below comes from each vendor's own published pages, read 9 October 2026. "Not published" means the vendor says nothing on that point, which is itself an answer.

Three patterns fall out of that grid. Published retention spreads from ten days to six months for a risk every buyer carries identically. Export availability does not track price: the cheapest option here, Camoufox at zero, has the most complete export, while $19.99 on Incogniton buys none at all. And "local storage" means at least three different things, namely bytes on your disk the app still opens when billing lapses, bytes on your disk the app refuses to open until you pay, and a local copy shadowing a cloud copy you must clear separately.

The order of operations decides whether accounts survive a migration, and the common mistake is leaving the export until last.

Start by freezing the exit. Before changing anything, export cookies from every profile you care about on the plan you already pay for, and store them outside the vendor. On Genlogin that is the three-dot menu per profile, producing a file saved as json.txt, which you should rename to .json immediately so your tooling parses it. Do this while the subscription is current, because on Undetectable the export capability sits behind the Professional tier and on Incogniton behind Entrepreneur. Paying one month of a higher tier purely to get your data out is a legitimate and often necessary expense.

Next, inventory what the export does not contain. Genlogin's separate "Sync IndexebDB" toggle tells you that surface exists; MoreLogin's cache doc names localStorage, IndexedDB, extensions and their data, and cookies as four distinct things. Anything outside the cookie jar will not move, so plan a re-login for those accounts rather than discovering it mid-migration.

Then pin the network identity before you touch the browser. This is the step people skip and regret. If a profile has spent four months on one exit IP and you import its cookies into a new browser on a different IP, you have changed the browser fingerprint and the network origin at the same moment, which is the combination that triggers re-verification. Keep the IP constant across the switch, move the profile, let the account settle, then revisit anything else.

Move in cohorts, lowest value first. Take five expendable profiles, run them in the new tool for a week against the same exits, and watch challenge rates rather than cosmetic fingerprint scores. A clean pass on a checker site is not evidence; a week of logins without a verification prompt is.

Finally, clear both copies. On any synced tool, deleting locally leaves the cloud record intact. MoreLogin's three-way cache menu makes this explicit, and the same logic applies to Genlogin's cloud profiles and Octo's account-side storage. Delete on the vendor side too, remembering Genlogin's cap of 100 profiles per operation and MoreLogin's seven-day Trash window. If you shared profiles with sub-accounts or contractors, revoke those grants: a Read or Sync Data permission on a stale cloud profile is still a live grant.

Genlogin bundles Gen-proxy, Incogniton advertises built-in proxies, and Octo resells proxy access, but the IP layer is the one component you keep across every migration above, which is a good reason to own it separately from the browser. A profile tied to an exit you control survives a change of vendor; a profile tied to a vendor's bundled pool does not, and MoreLogin's transfer doc spells out that platform proxies specifically do not move.

SparkProxy prices this as a plan rather than a meter. Entry is "Starting from $75/month," plans are packs rather than per-gigabyte, and unlimited bandwidth is included, so the billing unit is the plan and its concurrency rather than the traffic you consume. The pool is 1M+ premium IPs across 80+ countries, with random rotation and 5-minute auto-rotation, over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, authenticated by IP whitelist or user and password, on a 1 Gbps port. There is a 24-hour free trial with no credit card, and term discounts of 5 percent at three months, 10 percent at six and 15 percent at twelve. For the difference between pool types, see the guide to residential, datacenter and mobile proxies.

The other thing worth doing before a migration is checking a target's behaviour without opening fifty browser profiles to find out. The SparkProxy Scraping API answers that from a script. Base URL is https://scrape.sparkproxy.io/api/v1, auth is the X-API-Key header, and there are 1,000 free credits for exactly this reconnaissance. Two parameter facts save money. First, render_js defaults to true and costs 5 credits, so a plain fetch needs an explicit render_js=false and costs 1. Second, json_response=true is the only thing returning the envelope with job_id, status_code, duration_ms and credits_used, and the body inside it is base64, so decode before matching. The format parameter is content conversion only, so format=json does not mean the envelope.

# challenge_probe.py  -  does this target challenge a bare request?
#   pip install requests
#   SPARKPROXY_KEY=sk-... python challenge_probe.py
import base64
import os
import requests

API = "https://scrape.sparkproxy.io/api/v1"
KEY = os.environ["SPARKPROXY_KEY"]

# Markers that mean "we were asked to prove we are a browser", not "we got the page".
CHALLENGE = ("captcha", "are you a human", "verify you are", "enable javascript",
             "cf-challenge", "px-captcha", "/_Incapsula_Resource")

def probe(url, country=None):
    params = {
        "url": url,
        "render_js": "false",        # explicit: default is true and costs 5 credits
        "proxy_type": "premium",     # file-based premium pool
        "json_response": "true",     # the ONLY source of the envelope
    }
    if country:
        params["country_code"] = country   # +5 credits

    r = requests.get(API, headers={"X-API-Key": KEY}, params=params, timeout=120)
    r.raise_for_status()
    env = r.json()

    # The envelope's body is base64. Decode before matching, or every probe
    # reports "clean" because the markers cannot appear in base64 text.
    html = base64.b64decode(env["body"]).decode("utf-8", errors="replace")
    hits = [m for m in CHALLENGE if m.lower() in html.lower()]

    return {
        "status": env["status_code"],
        "ms": env["duration_ms"],
        "credits": env["credits_used"],
        "bytes": len(html),
        "challenged": hits,
    }

if __name__ == "__main__":
    for target in ["https://www.sparkproxy.io/", "https://www.sparkproxy.io/pricing"]:
        result = probe(target)
        verdict = "CHALLENGED " + ",".join(result["challenged"]) if result["challenged"] else "clean"
        print(f'{result["status"]:>3} {result["ms"]:>6}ms {result["credits"]:>2}cr '
              f'{result["bytes"]:>7}B  {verdict}  {target}')

Run that against your real targets from a few countries and you learn whether you have a browser-fingerprint problem at all. Sometimes a plain fetch on a clean residential exit returns the page, and the antidetect browser you were comparing was never the constraint. Batch mode requires render_js=false, and the whole batch costs 1 credit. Our notes on picking proxies for scraping go deeper on pool selection, and fingerprint protection in antidetect browsers covers the browser half.
