# Bluefy vs C. Browser

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bluefy at 41% against C. Browser's 12%. Bluefy also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). C. Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

C. Browser holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bluefy has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Bluefy's written reviews are positive against 12% of C. Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bluefy ships an update every 2 months, C. Browser every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
