# TextJam vs Private Browser

The clearest difference is rating: TextJam at 5.0 against Private Browser's 3.7. TextJam also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Private Browser's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TextJam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Private Browser sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TextJam holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Browser has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of TextJam's written reviews are positive against 76% of Private Browser's.

TextJam ships an update every 2 days, Private Browser every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
