# XR Browser vs Private Browser

The clearest difference is rating: Private Browser at 4.5 against XR Browser's 3.6. Private Browser also leads on ratings volume (231 vs 12). XR Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Private Browser sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. XR Browser asks for nothing beyond the download.

Private Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Browser has 231 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of XR Browser's written reviews are positive against 68% of Private Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
