# 3tabs Secure vs Browser

The clearest difference is price: Browser at Free against 3tabs Secure's $0.99. Browser also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 23 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Browser is free to download; 3tabs Secure costs $0.99 up front. 3tabs Secure sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Browser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Browser has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

3tabs Secure ships an update every 23 months, Browser every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 4, 2026.
