# Aloha Browser vs TOR Browser Private + VPN

The clearest difference is monetization model: Aloha Browser at freemium against TOR Browser Private + VPN's subscription. Aloha Browser also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (315K vs 2.3K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aloha Browser sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and TOR Browser Private + VPN sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Aloha Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aloha Browser has 315K ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Aloha Browser's written reviews are positive against 32% of TOR Browser Private + VPN's.

Aloha Browser ships an update fortnightly, TOR Browser Private + VPN every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
