Afina vs Dolphin {anty} — 2026 Side-by-Side Comparison
Two anti-detects, one verdict. We compare fingerprint quality, team workflow, performance and pricing across both products.
Afina currently sits at #1; Dolphin {anty} at #6 in our quarterly ranking. Here's the technical reasoning behind that gap.
Fingerprint engine
| Surface category | Afina | Dolphin {anty} |
|---|---|---|
| Device-level (12) | 12 / 12 | 10 / 12 |
| Browser-level (15) | 15 / 15 | 12 / 15 |
| Network-level (8) | 8 / 8 | 5 / 8 |
| Behavioural (12) | Built-in | Plugin required |
| iphey.com (all green) | Yes | Mostly |
| demo.fingerprint.com | <15% bot | 25–40% bot |
The big gaps: Dolphin doesn't tunnel UDP cleanly (see our UDP article), so WebRTC reveals real IP. Dolphin also doesn't ship per-region font sets — the same Windows font list is used regardless of profile country.
Team workflow
| Feature | Afina | Dolphin {anty} |
|---|---|---|
| Roles | 5 levels | 3 levels |
| Profile transfer | 1-click | Manual export/import |
| Audit log | Signed (Ed25519) | Plaintext server-side |
| Bulk operations | All actions | Limited |
| Zero-knowledge encryption | Yes | No |
Dolphin's team workspace is solid, but the encryption model means staff at Dolphin can theoretically access your cookies. For teams holding high-value sessions, that's a problem.
Performance
Rust core vs Electron shell. We measured on Mac M2 / 32GB / 200 profiles:
- Cold-start: Afina 2.1s vs Dolphin 3.4s (-38%)
- RAM per profile: 180MB vs 290MB (-38%)
- Shell RAM: 38MB vs 220MB (-83%)
For a team running 50+ simultaneous profiles, this is the difference between fitting on a single workstation and needing dedicated hardware.
Pricing
| Tier | Afina | Dolphin {anty} |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 15 profiles | 10 profiles |
| Entry paid | $8 / 100 prof | $89 / unlim |
| Team | $29 / 5 seats | $159 / 5 seats |
| Business | $79 / unlim | $299 / unlim |
Afina is between 3–4× cheaper per seat at every tier.
Where Dolphin still wins
Two real strengths:
- Plugin marketplace — Dolphin has more third-party automations (mostly affiliate-specific) than Afina, because Dolphin has been around since 2018.
- Brand familiarity — your traffic team probably already knows Dolphin. Onboarding new operators costs hours.
If your team is already running 1000+ Dolphin profiles and your day-to-day workflow depends on plugin X, migration cost is real. For everything else, Afina is the upgrade.
Migration
Afina ships a Dolphin importer:
- Export your Dolphin profiles (Settings → Export → All)
- Import in Afina (Profiles → Import → Dolphin)
- Verify a sample of 5 profiles — login, check WebRTC, check cookies preserved
- Mass-migrate in batches
Cookies and localStorage are preserved. Fingerprint configs are translated to Afina's device profiles automatically.
Verdict
Afina wins on the four technical axes that actually matter — fingerprint coverage, UDP, ZK encryption, performance — and is cheaper. Dolphin is fine for solo low-stakes; Afina is the right choice for everyone else. See the full Afina review for our scoring methodology.
