Archonum

Archonum is a browser automation service that runs Chrome on real consumer Android smartphones instead of cloud servers. It is built for AI agents, scrapers and price intelligence work, where requests from cloud browsers behind residential proxies are often blocked. Because the browser runs on the same phone that owns the IP address, the fingerprint, network and device signals all come from one place.

Archonum runs on a network of more than 250,000 Android phones spread across consumer ISPs in 175+ countries. When a session starts, Archonum provisions a phone, runs Chrome for Android on it and streams the session back to the user's script. Existing Playwright or Puppeteer scripts work unchanged: they point at the Archonum gateway, and the username string sets the exit country, rotation or a sticky session.

Since the hardware is real, Archonum reports genuine mobile signals such as touch events, accelerometer and gyroscope data, battery values and an ARM CPU, which emulated mobile browsers lack. Archonum states that it passes bot defences including Google reCAPTCHA v3, Cloudflare Turnstile, DataDome, Akamai and Kasada. A hosted MCP server gives AI agents 19 tools for one-shot page reads, stateful sessions and comparing a page across up to five countries.

Archonum is priced by concurrency tier plus usage. The Developer plan costs $24.99/mo for 25 concurrent requests, Startup $49.99/mo for 50, Business $99.99/mo for 100 and Scale $299.99/mo for 250, with bandwidth from $5.00 to $4.00 per GB and browser runtime from $0.12 to $0.09 per hour. Annual billing saves 15%, a free trial is available, and Enterprise plans add custom SLAs, dedicated device pools and SSO.

Use cases

• Running AI agents that browse the web in a loop without losing compute to soft blocks
• Competitive price intelligence across desktop, mobile and regional IPs
• Monitoring the prices, promotions and inventory that e-commerce sites show only on mobile
• Collecting data from mobile-first platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and regional marketplaces
• Keeping one device identity and exit country through a login, cart or booking flow
• Letting an AI agent read pages that block plain fetching
