## What a second seat costs across anti-detect browsers

Anti-detect browsers meter people as well as profiles. A seat is a login to the vendor's shared library; Mosaic has no teams, so it has no seats.

Most anti-detect browsers charge per user as well as per profile. The profile count is the first column on the pricing page, and the second is seats: how many people can sign in to the same library. Some tiers include a few, some charge a monthly add-on for each person beyond them, and some stop counting at a higher tier. Mosaic has no teams, so it has no seats, and we would rather say that in the table than leave the cell empty.

## Price per user: what you are paying for

A seat makes sense once you see where the library lives. In a product with team plans, your profiles sit on the vendor's servers. When a colleague opens "Shop - Berlin 01", the vendor has to send them that profile's cookies, storage and fingerprint and check they are allowed to have it. Most team products also keep a record of who opened what. Each extra person adds work to that server and support tickets to that vendor's team.

So a seat is a login to somebody else's copy of your profiles. That is a real service, and charging for it is charging for something real. What it is not is a fee for the browser. A second person on a seat runs the same engine as the first. They are paying for the right to reach a shared library.

## The shapes a seat price takes

Seat pricing comes in a handful of shapes, and most plans combine two of them. The figures move often enough that we keep them out of this post; the shapes stay put.

| Shape | How it bills | What to check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seats bundled per tier | Each tier includes a fixed number of people | How many the tier you actually need includes, not the one in the headline |
| Add-on per extra person | A monthly fee for each person beyond the bundle | Whether the add-on price changes with the tier |
| Unlimited seats on higher tiers | Seats stop counting past a certain plan | What that plan costs in profiles you would not otherwise buy |
| Seats on the free plan | A small team can share a small library at no cost | Whether the free profiles cover the work |
| No seats at all (Mosaic) | There is no shared library, so nobody else signs in to it | Whether you need a teammate to open your profiles; if you do, this is not the product |

The add-on is where a quote grows without anyone noticing. A tier with enough profiles for an agency may include one or two seats, and every account manager after that is an extra line. When the add-on price rises with the tier, moving up for more profiles can cost more per person too, so a team of five should price both the tier they need and the one above it.

## Seats and profiles are separate meters

A team plan can meter people and profiles independently, and sometimes launches or open browsers as well. We have written about [pricing by open browser](https://mosaicbrowser.com/blog/concurrent-browser-pricing) and [pricing by daily launch](https://mosaicbrowser.com/blog/pay-per-launch-pricing); a seat is a third axis on the same page. The total for a team is the tier that holds the profiles, plus the people the tier does not include, plus any metered use on top.

None of those meters follow from what a profile costs to run on your own computer. They follow from what it costs the vendor to store and serve it, which is the argument we made in [why anti-detect browsers cost what they cost](https://mosaicbrowser.com/blog/why-anti-detect-browsers-cost-so-much).

## Why Mosaic has no seats

Mosaic has no teams. There is no second login into a shared library, no roles, no permissions screen and no way to hand a profile to a colleague. A Mosaic profile is a folder on your disk and a browser process on your CPU, and Mosaic has no cloud copy of your profiles. With no shared copy, there is nothing for a second person to sign in to, and nothing for a seat to meter.

That is a real limit, and it decides the question for some readers. If two people need to open the same logged-in profile from two computers, a product with team sharing does a job we don't, and its seat price is paying for that job. If each person runs their own accounts on their own machine, a seat buys nothing they would use.

What Mosaic does charge is one price. There is a free plan with a small profile limit, and Pro is $49 a month: one plan, everything unlimited, and it does not charge per profile. The limits and the plans side by side are on the [pricing page](https://mosaicbrowser.com/pricing).

## Questions

### How do anti-detect browsers charge per user?

Three ways are common: a fixed number of seats bundled into each tier, a monthly add-on for each person beyond the bundle, or unlimited seats once you reach a higher tier. Many plans combine a bundle with an add-on.

### What does a seat actually buy?

A login to the vendor's copy of your profiles. Seats exist because the vendor stores the library on its servers, so a second person can open the same profile, with permissions and a record of who did what.

### Does Mosaic charge per user?

No, because Mosaic has no teams. There is no second login into a shared library, no roles and no way to hand a profile to a teammate. A profile lives on the computer that made it.

### How do I work out the real price for a team of five?

Start from the tier that holds your profiles and read how many people it includes; on many pages that is one or two. Each person past that is an add-on line, so price the tier above it too, because its bundled seats can cost less than four add-ons.
