# TabScroll Split vs Lion Browser

The clearest difference is rating: Lion Browser at 4.7 against TabScroll Split's 3.6. Lion Browser also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). TabScroll Split's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TabScroll Split sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Lion Browser sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lion Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lion Browser has 115 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of TabScroll Split's written reviews are positive against 87% of Lion Browser's.

TabScroll Split ships an update fortnightly, Lion Browser every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
