Instagram, WhatsApp, your bank: whatever is on your iPhone, signed in as you, with real notifications and SMS codes. **GeeLark:** Virtual Android phones. It doesn't run iPhone apps. ## Full comparison | | Zeptap | GeeLark | | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Device** | Your real iPhone | Virtual Android phone in GeeLark’s cloud | | **iPhone (iOS) apps** | Yes, every iPhone on iOS 15+, including Home-button models | No. GeeLark says it “currently focuses on Android cloud phone environments” | | **Your accounts** | The apps you’re already signed in to | New Android profiles you set up and sign in to | | **Setup** | Plug in your iPhone and pair it.

Zeptap prices are introductory; see [pricing](https://zeptap.com/pricing). ## 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 * 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](https://github.com/Saransh29/zeptap-releases/releases/latest/download/Zeptap.dmg)** 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](https://zeptap.com/docs/agents/connect). ## questions? The [docs](https://zeptap.com/docs) go deeper, and they're written for agents to read too. Does GeeLark work on iPhone? No. GeeLark’s cloud phones run Android, and GeeLark says it currently focuses on Android; it has no iOS cloud phones today. Is GeeLark free? GeeLark has a free plan with 2 profiles, 30 bonus minutes and one seat. After that, cloud phones cost $0.007 per minute by default, and API access needs the $5/month Base plan or higher. How much does GeeLark cost? GeeLark’s plans are Free, Base from $5/month (5 profiles) and Pro from $19/month (20 profiles), with prices rising as you add profiles. Phone time is extra: $0.007 per minute (capped at $1.20 per phone per day on paid plans) or $29.90 per phone per month. Is there a GeeLark alternative without a subscription? Yes, for iPhone. Zeptap Lifetime is $99 once for one iPhone or $149 once for up to five, with no per-phone or per-minute fees. It works on iPhones you own, not cloud Android phones. Can I use Claude or Cursor with GeeLark? Yes. GeeLark’s official MCP server, run through its CLI, works with Claude, Codex, Cursor and Trae, using a GeeLark API token. Zeptap connects to the same agents and adds built-in chat. Does Zeptap create new accounts or change device fingerprints? No. Zeptap works in the apps and accounts already on your iPhones. It has no fingerprint, proxy or bulk-profile tools; see [multiple accounts](https://zeptap.com/use-cases/social-media/multiple-accounts) for how it handles several accounts per phone. ## pay once and give your agent an iPhone.
