Both Mobilerun and DuoPlus put mobile devices in the cloud and let you automate them and both can run many social media accounts at scale with automation. Let’s compare these two on different parameters.
Mobilerun is an open-source, LLM-agnostic framework plus a managed cloud that lets AI agents drive real Android and iOS devices with natural language. It also provides cloud devices and real mobile devices in the cloud.
DuoPlus runs real ARM-based Android devices in the cloud, each in an isolated environment, so one person can operate many social media, e-commerce, or gaming accounts from a single computer without buying physical phones.

Mobilerun controls both Android and iOS, and its cloud even offers real physical iPhones on custom hardware built for iOS stealth.
DuoPlus is Android-only. If iOS matters to you, DuoPlus is off the table today; if you specifically want the newest Android on real ARM silicon, DuoPlus is the stronger claim.
Mobilerun is built around LLM agents that read the screen (a11y trees plus screenshots), then tap, swipe, and type from a natural-language instruction. It's LLM-agnostic and supports a reasoning mode for complex multi-step tasks. Usefully, you can build a workflow with the agent and then replay it as a fast, deterministic script with no model in the loop.
DuoPlus approaches automation through RPA: pre-built templates and custom workflows, plus an Operation Sync feature that mirrors one action across many devices at once (like posting to dozens of accounts simultaneously).
Both Mobilerun and DuoPlus stress that their devices look like real phones to detection systems, but they get there differently.
DuoPlus runs virtual Android on authentic ARM chips deployed globally, and gives each instance an independent environment which means its own device parameters, GPS, and simulated SIM/base-station data across 150+ countries to reduce account association risk. There is basically no cap on how many devices you create or run.
Two constraints DuoPlus states plainly: each cloud phone requires a dedicated proxy IP, and there's no real SIM, so calls/SMS need the separate Cloud Number product.
Mobilerun offers a mix: cloud-hosted virtual phones, plus real physical hardware (including iPhones) for workflows that need the strongest device authenticity. It bundles carrier-grade residential proxies and real-device identity, and its real devices can receive SMS directly.
DuoPlus is built for reach without setup friction: no client download is required, and you control your fleet from any PC or mobile browser. Under the hood it's a proprietary, closed platform, but it exposes a REST API, Android ADB access, and proxy management, with extensive API docs for phone control, automation, and team management.
Mobilerun’s core framework is open source under the MIT license. You can run it locally on your own machine and devices, then scale to the managed cloud with a config change.
The difference is: Mobilerun is code-first and inspectable; DuoPlus is a managed, browser-based dashboard product with an API attached.
Mobilerun (per its pricing page): a dedicated cloud Android phone is $80/month ($768 billed yearly); a real physical iPhone is $200/month ($1,920 yearly); bring-your-own-phone is $5/month ($48 yearly). There's also pay-as-you-go cloud Android at $0.03/min with no commitment. Usage add-ons: cloud Android time $0.03/min, mobile premium proxy $10/GB, and agent step $0.01. Enterprise pricing (10,000+ concurrent phones, SOC2/SSO) is custom.
DuoPlus (per its help center and product pages): the cloud phone itself is around $2/month (cheaper in bulk), billed separately from "startup" time. You then pick a startup mode — Temporary Startup billed by the minute (its help center lists $0.06 per 10 minutes per device, capped at $1.2/day per device) or a flat-fee monthly Subscription Startup that allows unlimited startup during its validity. New users get 1 month of cloud phone plus 30 minutes of free startup time. (DuoPlus lists slightly different per-minute figures across pages, so check its live pricing page before buying.)
The main difference: DuoPlus is optimized for cheap, large fleets of Android instances you spin up and down; Mobilerun's per-device plans cost more but include the AI agent, stealth identity, proxy, and iOS.
Choose Mobilerun if you're building AI agents, want an open-source and LLM-agnostic framework, need iOS as well as Android, or want to prototype locally and scale to a managed cloud with the same code.
Choose DuoPlus if your job is running many Android social media or e-commerce accounts safely and cheaply at scale, you want a no-download browser dashboard with bulk operations, one-click reskin/sharing, and RPA templates, and you don't need iOS.
Both can run large fleets of social media accounts with automation, so this isn't an either/or on capability - it's a fit decision. Pick Mobilerun if you want AI-agent-driven automation, open-source flexibility, and cross-platform (iOS + Android) reach. Pick DuoPlus if you want a no-code, browser-based dashboard tuned specifically for scaling Android account operations.
