AliasMode vs AdsPower
AliasMode is the better choice than AdsPower for most multi-account work in 2026. AliasMode is free with no profile cap and its desktop app is open source. AdsPower gives 2 free profiles and then charges by profile bundle, about $9 per month for 10 profiles and about $36 for 100. AliasMode also speaks the AdsPower Local API shape, so existing scripts can move. AdsPower is still the better fit if you need its no-code RPA builder, a Firefox engine, or a native macOS or Linux app.

Direct verdict
Choose AliasMode if you work on Windows and want free profiles without a cap, open source, and an API that your AdsPower scripts already understand. Choose AdsPower if your team depends on its RPA builder, needs AdsPower API routes outside the AliasMode subset, or works on macOS or Linux.

Our pick: AliasMode
AliasMode does the core AdsPower job at no cost: a separate fingerprint, cookie jar, and proxy for every profile, groups, login and 2FA storage, and team sharing. It adds what AdsPower does not offer: public source code under Apache-2.0, a Local mode that needs no account, and no profile cap. The AdsPower-compatible Local API covers profiles, groups, and browser start, stop, and status, and each running profile exposes CDP for Playwright.
AliasMode is built and maintained by the Xreacher team, so this is our own product ranked first. Comparisons use the dated sources listed below, with third-party pricing estimates identified separately. Check live plans before buying.
AdsPower's free plan has 2 profiles. After that you buy a bundle of profiles and, on most plans, extra team members. Third-party price trackers put the Professional plan at about $9 per month for 10 profiles and about $36 per month for 100 profiles on monthly billing, with lower prices for annual payment. AliasMode has one price, $0, and no profile cap. An agency with 100 profiles and three operators saves about $430 per year on profiles alone, before seats.
Most teams can move in an afternoon, because AliasMode follows the AdsPower model of profiles, groups, and a loopback Local API. Move one workflow at a time and keep AdsPower until each one is verified.
AdsPower is an established commercial product with a larger feature set in three areas. Its RPA builder lets non-developers record and replay flows. Its Local API is complete and documented in detail, while AliasMode implements a subset. And it ships native apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a Firefox-based engine next to its Chromium one. If one of these is a hard requirement, stay on AdsPower for that workflow.
An antidetect browser separates cookies, storage, and the browser fingerprint. It does not change your IP address. If ten profiles share one home connection, a platform still sees ten accounts on one network. Give each profile its own dedicated static residential IP and keep that pairing fixed. AliasMode takes one HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy per profile, tests it, and sets the profile timezone from the proxy location. We use NobleProxy for this layer.

Yes. AliasMode covers the core AdsPower job: separate fingerprints, cookies, and proxies per profile, groups, team sharing, and a Local API. It is free with no profile cap and open source. AdsPower is stronger for no-code RPA and for macOS and Linux.
Yes. AliasMode has no paid tiers and no profile cap, in Local mode and in Cloud mode. The only paid service is support. The desktop app is open source under Apache-2.0.
AdsPower has a permanent free plan with 2 profiles. More profiles need a paid bundle, from about $9 per month for 10 profiles.
Scripts that create, list, update, and delete profiles, manage groups, and start, stop, or check browsers can work with small changes, because AliasMode uses the AdsPower request shape for those routes. AliasMode does not implement the complete AdsPower API, so check each route in the Local API reference.
Yes, in Local mode. AliasMode imports TXT, CSV, JSON, and XLSX profile exports and maps the name, group, login, 2FA secret, proxy, and user agent. Browser sessions do not transfer, so log in once in each new profile on the same proxy.
No. AdsPower is closed source. AliasMode's desktop app is public on GitHub under Apache-2.0.
