Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SpeedTest at 73% against Browser's 3%. SpeedTest also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.6 vs 1.0). Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
SpeedTest is free to download; Browser costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SpeedTest holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpeedTest has 6.4K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of SpeedTest's written reviews are positive against 3% of Browser's.
SpeedTest ships an update every 7 months, Browser every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
