# iVerify Basic vs µBrowser

The clearest difference is rating: iVerify Basic at 4.6 against µBrowser's 4.0. iVerify Basic also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 104) and chart position (#8 vs #130). µBrowser's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 42%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

iVerify Basic costs $0.99 and µBrowser $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

iVerify Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iVerify Basic has 2.4K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of iVerify Basic's written reviews are positive against 57% of µBrowser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
