# C. Browser vs BLE Link

The clearest difference is rating: C. Browser at 5.0 against BLE Link's 3.8. C. Browser also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). BLE Link's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 12%) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BLE Link has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of C. Browser's written reviews are positive against 40% of BLE Link's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

C. Browser ships an update every 2 weeks, BLE Link every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
