Benefits for Afina Users

CostView and Afina Browser cover different parts of a media buying workflow. Afina Browser runs accounts in isolated profiles with their own fingerprint, proxy, cookies, and cache, while CostView tracks what the team spends and earns on those accounts. Teams that run many profiles in Afina can use CostView to follow supplies, cards, and payouts in parallel. The two products work separately and are not natively connected.
