What it costs over a year

GeeLark’s agent access (API) starts on the Base plan at $5/month (its 5-profile tier, enough for 1–5 phones). Monthly billing shown; GeeLark’s annual billing takes 25% off the plan fee.

Setup GeeLark, per year Zeptap Zeptap pays for itself
1 phone, rented $29.90 × 12 + $5 × 12 = $418.80 $99 once Month 3 ($34.90 × 3 = $104.70)
5 phones, rented $29.90 × 5 × 12 + $60 = $1,854 $149 once Month 1 ($154.50)
1 phone, 1 hour a day by the minute 60 × $0.007 × 365 + $60 = $213.30 $99 once Month 6 (~$17.78 × 6 = $106.65)

Light, per-minute use of one GeeLark phone is cheap, and GeeLark needs no hardware. Zeptap assumes you already own the iPhones and a Mac. If you’d have to buy them, GeeLark is the cheaper start.

Where Zeptap is different

Your real iPhone accounts

Your agent works in the Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp accounts already on your phone, with your history and photos. No new profiles to set up.

Open Instagram, switch to @demo.bakery and answer new comments asking about price, using the menu in my Notes.

Ask, don’t build a workflow

Instead of picking an RPA template, you describe the job. The agent reads the screen as it goes.

Check every TikTok account on this iPhone and tell me which ones have unread DMs.

Your agent, one price

Use Zeptap’s chat or connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor in one click. Pay once; no per-phone, per-minute or per-seat fees.

On iPhone 2, open Shopify, summarize today’s orders and send the summary to Sam on WhatsApp.

When GeeLark is the better pick

No tool fits everyone. If one of these sounds like you, GeeLark is the better choice.

  • You need Android, or more profiles than five phones can hold.

  • You don’t own iPhones or a Mac and don’t want to buy them.

  • Your team needs shared profiles, roles and unlimited seats.

  • You want device fingerprints, proxies and bulk profile creation in one tool.

Switch in 3 steps

  1. Download Zeptap and open it on your Mac.

  2. Plug in your iPhone and pair it. Nothing is installed on the phone, and your passcode stays on your Mac.

  3. Ask your agent in Zeptap’s chat, or connect your own agent.
