# Private Browser vs Teak Browser

The clearest difference is monetization model: Teak Browser at free against Private Browser's free with in-app purchases. Private Browser's advantage is ratings volume (227 vs 39) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Private Browser sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Teak Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Private Browser against 4.4 for Teak Browser. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Browser has 227 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
