Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RBrowser at 4.8 against Gear's 4.0. RBrowser also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 56%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 252). Gear's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RBrowser sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and Gear sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RBrowser holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RBrowser has 1.3K ratings behind it against 252, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of RBrowser's written reviews are positive against 56% of Gear's.
RBrowser ships an update every 2 weeks, Gear every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
