The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Private Browser at 100% against Loom's 50%. Loom's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Loom holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Private Browser's written reviews are positive against 50% of Loom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Private Browser ships an update every 2 months, Loom fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
