# Aloha Browser vs MT Browser

The clearest difference is monetization model: Aloha Browser at freemium against MT Browser's subscription. Aloha Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (313K vs 2.1K). MT Browser's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aloha Browser sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and MT Browser sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Aloha Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aloha Browser has 313K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 49% and 49% positive.

Aloha Browser ships an update fortnightly, MT Browser every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
