# Brave Browser & Search Engine vs Search All

The clearest difference is ads: Brave Browser & Search Engine at none against Search All's shown. Brave Browser & Search Engine also leads on ratings volume (674K vs 2.9K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brave Browser & Search Engine sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Search All sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
