# Weex vs Browser Search

The clearest difference is rating: Weex at 4.9 against Browser Search's 4.2. Weex also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 67%) and ratings volume (255 vs 33). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Browser Search sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
