# Avast Secure Browser vs URL Bookmarker

The clearest difference is rating: Avast Secure Browser at 4.7 against URL Bookmarker's 3.7. Avast Secure Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 7). URL Bookmarker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Avast Secure Browser sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and URL Bookmarker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Avast Secure Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avast Secure Browser has 2.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Avast Secure Browser's written reviews are positive against 100% of URL Bookmarker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Avast Secure Browser ships an update every 5 weeks, URL Bookmarker every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
