An anti-detect browser promo code almost always discounts a single payment: the first month, or the first purchase of whatever period you pick. It says nothing about the renewal. So the number worth comparing between tools is what you will pay in month thirteen, on the tier you will need by then, at list price. Searching for a code first and doing that sum second gets the order backwards.
What an anti-detect browser promo code discounts
Codes for these tools come in three shapes, and the difference is in a line of small print that the coupon page rarely repeats.
- First month only: half off, a fifth off, applied to one monthly charge. From the second month the plan bills at list.
- First purchase, any period: the same percentage, but on whatever you buy first. Pick a prepaid year and the code comes off the whole year, which is the largest saving a code ever produces, once.
- Recurring: the discount stays on every renewal for as long as the subscription runs. These exist, they are the minority, and they usually carry a smaller percentage.
Many published codes come from affiliate and review sites that are paid when you buy through them. That does not make a code bad. It does mean the page showing it has a reason to show the percentage and not the renewal.

Why month thirteen is the honest comparison
Month one is a price nobody pays twice. Month thirteen is the first bill after every introductory offer has run out, including a code applied to a prepaid year. It is also far enough away that your setup has had time to grow, and most pricing in this market grows with it, in steps of profiles, seats or open browsers.
Here is an invented plan, to show the sum rather than any vendor's numbers. Say a tool lists 100 profiles at 100 a month and 300 profiles at 200 a month, and you start with 80 profiles and a 50% first-month code.
| Month | What you are on | What you pay |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100-profile tier, code applied | 50 |
| 2 to 7 | 100-profile tier, list price | 100 a month |
| 8 onwards | outgrew 100, moved to 300 | 200 a month |
| 13 | 300-profile tier, list price | 200 |
The code saved 50, once. The decision that set the bill was the tier step in month eight, and the code page had nothing to say about it. The same sum done on a second tool with a different tier ladder can come out in the opposite order from the two headline percentages.
How to work out the month-thirteen price
- Write down what you expect to run a year from now: profiles, people who need a login, and how many browsers open at once.
- On each vendor's own pricing page, find the cheapest tier that holds all three. Note the date you read it, because these pages change.
- Take that tier's monthly list price, or the prepaid price divided by twelve if you plan to prepay the second year as well as the first.
- Check whether any code you have is recurring. If it is, take it off. If it is not, leave it out of the sum.
- Read what happens when you exceed a limit mid-term: an add-on per extra profile, an upgrade at the new price, or profiles you cannot open.
Steps 1 and 2 are where most of the difference sits. A seat costs money on many plans, and how that meter works is in what a second seat costs. The arithmetic for a prepaid year, including the break-even month at each discount, is in yearly discounts, read in full.
Why pricing is tiered at all
Tiers by profile count make sense for a vendor that stores every profile on its own servers, because each one is storage and sync it pays for. That is the reasoning in why anti-detect browsers cost so much, and it is also why a code is cheap for the vendor to give: it discounts the month when you have the fewest profiles.
Month thirteen on Mosaic
Mosaic keeps profiles on your own computer, so a profile costs us nothing to store and there is no ladder to climb. Pro is one plan at $49 a month with no per-profile pricing, so the thousandth profile costs the same as the first. Month thirteen is billed the same as month two, whatever you have grown to. You can try Pro free for 14 days before the first payment, and the current figures are on the pricing page.
