Membership & Pro plans
How to activate Pro (membership) in the client, view orders, and how the official client differs from the open-source repository.
Plans
See Plans & features and Account & sign-in.
What Pro includes
On top of the free tier:
- Window synchronizer (Windows client)
- Local REST API, MCP, and CLI
- Cloud sync (VirtualBrowser cloud or your WebDAV)
- Referral rewards
Requires sign-in and active membership (vip_level > 0).
Subscribe to Pro
- Install the official build (not a minimal self-built fork without membership services).
- Sign in (required on macOS; Windows can try free features first).
- Open Membership in the top bar.
- Choose a plan and complete payment in the in-app checkout.
- After payment, API, synchronizer, and cloud sync unlock per pricing.
TIP
Copy http://localhost:{port} and api-key from the API screen only when membership is active. The port is dynamic—not always 9000.
