# iCab Mobile (Web Browser) vs Offline

The clearest difference is price: Offline at Free against iCab Mobile (Web Browser)'s $2.99. Offline also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (138K vs 468). iCab Mobile (Web Browser)'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (66% vs 49%). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Offline is free to download; iCab Mobile (Web Browser) costs $2.99 up front. iCab Mobile (Web Browser) sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Offline sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Offline holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Offline has 138K ratings behind it against 468, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of iCab Mobile (Web Browser)'s written reviews are positive against 49% of Offline's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
