# TOR Browser vs RA AdBlocker

The clearest difference is rating: TOR Browser at 4.6 against RA AdBlocker's 3.0. TOR Browser also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). RA AdBlocker's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TOR Browser sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and RA AdBlocker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TOR Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TOR Browser has 19K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TOR Browser ships an update every 3 weeks, RA AdBlocker every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
