# Ad Block Multi vs TOR Browser

The clearest difference is price: TOR Browser at Free against Ad Block Multi's $0.99. TOR Browser also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 840). Ad Block Multi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). On rating, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

TOR Browser is free to download; Ad Block Multi costs $0.99 up front. TOR Browser sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Ad Block Multi asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Ad Block Multi against 4.6 for TOR Browser. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TOR Browser has 19K ratings behind it against 840, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Ad Block Multi's written reviews are positive against 74% of TOR Browser's.

Ad Block Multi ships an update every 7 months, TOR Browser every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
