Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Browser at 4.1 against AdAway's 2.8. Browser also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 18 months) and review sentiment (21% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. AdAway sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Browser sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 16 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of AdAway's written reviews are positive against 21% of Browser's.
AdAway ships an update every 18 months, Browser fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
