Pixelscan (pixelscan.net) alternatives: eleven checkers and who runs them (2026)

Pixelscan (pixelscan.net) is a free browser checker. One scan reports how consistent your browser fingerprint looks, what your IP address and proxy reveal, whether DNS or WebRTC leaks your real address, and whether the browser looks automated. It began in 2020 as a bot-detection test. Today it carries partner discount codes for antidetect browsers and proxies, sells a paid proxy checker app, and names no company. On 12 October 2026 its home page said "Zero Data Stored", while its privacy policy said it stores visitors' browser fingerprints and IP addresses. The comparison sets eleven alternatives beside it, with who runs each and what each keeps.

What Pixelscan checks, and what it offers

The free scan needs no registration and covers eleven tools: fingerprint, IP address, IP blacklist, proxy, VPN, DNS leak, WebRTC leak, location, bot detection, an Android checker and a cookie converter. The fingerprint check compares the user agent, operating system, canvas, WebGL, hardware, timezone and language, and flags any that disagree, such as a Windows user agent with macOS signals.

Its partner program ties it to the sellers it tests. The partners page lists discount codes: 50% off Multilogin, up to 45% off AdsPower, 35% off NodeMaven, 20% off GeeLark and Thordata, 10% off BitBrowser, and bonuses at Floppydata and Voidmob; a Bright Data bonus that ended on 31 December 2025 was still listed. Its ranking of antidetect browsers, dated 13 October 2025, puts Multilogin first. Since February 2025 the consistency results themselves link to its top proxy providers and antidetect browsers.

The Proxy Checker is a desktop app for Windows and macOS: 100 free checks, then a paid subscription. Its terms of 16 January 2026 are governed by the laws of Portugal and make payments non-refundable unless stated otherwise. Its privacy policy keeps each check's results with your account (provider, location, type, quality and fraud score) and discards the proxy's address and login. An Android checker, on Google Play and as an APK, scores a phone for root access and automation tools.

What Pixelscan says about your data

The privacy policy has said the same since at least December 2023: Pixelscan stores browser fingerprints and IP addresses "to analyze where they succeed or fail with our test", and it "may also share these details in an anonymized way that does not include IP addresses with our partners", whom it describes as "web bot and anti-detect browser developers". The policy also names Google Analytics and Google Ads. The home page gained a FAQ answer saying results are not stored by August 2025, and the "Zero Data Stored" banner between the archive copies of 1 February and 5 March 2026.

From bot test to partner hub

In its 2022 about page Pixelscan called itself "a one-and-done solution to detect internet bots", made by data scientists with day jobs, and promised: "We do not track our users. Period." The policy that stores fingerprints was in place by December 2023; the partner page and the links from results came in 2025, the paid app in 2026.

Who runs each checker

Searches show which of them people use. Whoer is looked up about twenty times as often as Pixelscan, and BrowserLeaks and BrowserScan draw more searches too.

BrowserLeaks

BrowserLeaks has run since 2011 and splits the job into separate pages: IP address, WebRTC and DNS leaks, canvas, WebGL, fonts, client hints and a TLS test that prints JA3 and JA4 fingerprints. Each page lists what your browser gives away, which suits someone who knows what to look for. Its home page says it does "not collect personal data, store user fingerprints, or set non-essential cookies", and it shows no offers.

BrowserScan

BrowserScan, registered in 2023, offers the same kind of all-in-one check plus extras such as a port scanner, a 2FA code tool and an HTTP2 and TLS test. It names no company. Its home page carries AdsPower banners that lead through a partner link, and AdsPower's own footer listed BrowserScan among its links in 2023 and 2024. Its privacy policy keeps usage data for up to three years and access logs for up to six months.

Whoer

Whoer, online since 2008, is the most searched checker by far. Its IP page gives a "disguise" score and sells, beside the results, its own VPN at $1, two antidetect browsers called NOID and WADE X, and residential proxies. Whoer refused our server, so we read it through the Internet Archive's copy of 1 October 2026.

Iphey

Iphey gives a trust score built on MixVisit's open-source fingerprint code and, like Pixelscan, carries partner offers, in its case for GoLogin, Floppydata and 1browser.

CreepJS

CreepJS is published under the MIT licence, so anyone can read the code that scores a browser. It has been on GitHub since May 2020 and was last updated in June 2026. It is dense and technical, with no offers attached, and most useful to someone who wants to know why a test fails.

AmIUnique and Cover Your Tracks

Two checkers are run for research. AmIUnique is maintained by researchers at Inria, the French research institute, and collects fingerprints to study how unique browsers are, also through an Android app and a Chrome extension. Cover Your Tracks is the test of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, launched in 2010 as Panopticlick and renamed in 2020; it logs no IP addresses and sets a cookie for three months. Both answer one question well: how trackable your browser is.

The other side: Fingerprint, Device and browser info, Scamalytics and IPQualityScore

These four sell to the websites that do the checking. Fingerprint sells visitor identification, free up to 1,000 calls a month and $99 for 20,000; its demo shows the visitor ID a site would give you and says that ID stays the same "on VPN or incognito mode". Device and browser info, run by Antvas Technology in France, publishes bot tests and sells a database of recent proxy IPs. Scamalytics sells IP fraud scores to banks, payment firms, classifieds, review and dating sites, and IPQualityScore calls itself a fraud detection platform. Their verdicts come from the side that runs detection.

Which checker answers which question

• Does my profile look consistent? Pixelscan, BrowserScan, Iphey or CreepJS. Use two, since each weighs signals its own way.
• Does my real IP leak? BrowserLeaks' WebRTC and DNS pages, or the WebRTC tests of Pixelscan and Whoer.
• How trackable is my browser? AmIUnique or Cover Your Tracks.
• What would an anti-fraud vendor see? Fingerprint's demo and the bot tests of Device and browser info.
• Is my IP address flagged? Scamalytics or IPQualityScore, or the free fraud score in our app below.

Proxidize's guide to Pixelscan makes the right point about every verdict: a consistent label only says that the signals Pixelscan tested agree with each other. Each website runs its own checks.

Where HProxy fits

We sell proxies and publish free tools to check them. Our checker app tests proxy lists from your own connection, connects you through any proxy and shows the fraud score of your exit. The score is free with no key, or comes from IPQualityScore, Scamalytics, proxycheck.io or AbuseIPDB with your own key, and the app needs no account. The online checker takes 100,000 proxies a run, and the WebRTC leak test shows whether a browser gives away the address behind its proxy. When a checker flags your address, our Residential Premium keeps one home address on a profile for up to 24 hours, at $1.49 a gigabyte.

What we could not find out

We ran none of these checkers: their tests are scripts that run in the visitor's browser, so we read their pages and policies instead and cannot rank their accuracy. Pixelscan, BrowserScan, Iphey, Whoer and BrowserLeaks name no company on the pages we read. The proxy checker app's prices were not on its pages. Pixelscan's history rests on its own changelog and on archive copies, and its home pages of 2024 and early 2025 load their text in the browser, so their claims are dated only from August 2025. An earlier version of this page treated Pixelscan as a proxy seller. These facts are due for a re-check by 12 January 2027.
