Anti-detect Browsers vs. VMs for 100+ Accounts Automation?

Hi everyone,

I am automating around 100+ accounts on social media platforms (X, Tiktok and Facebook) using Playwright, and I keep getting banned using standard Chrome.

I want to rebuild a reliable setup and I'm hesitating between two strategies:

1. Anti-detect Browsers (GoLogin, MultiLogin, AdsPower, etc.)
2. Virtual Machines (VMs) with multiple separate Google Chrome profiles

For those managing accounts at scale today:

• Which approach is more stable and better at avoiding bans?
• Are anti-detect browsers worth the subscription price, or do they still get flagged easily?
• Is the VM approach too heavy to manage or easily detected because of shared hardware signatures?

Would love to hear your real-world feedback. Thanks!
