# Grabba Browser vs Skip Search

The clearest difference is rating: Skip Search at 5.0 against Grabba Browser's 3.0. Skip Search also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Grabba Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skip Search sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Grabba Browser asks for nothing beyond the download.

Skip Search holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Grabba Browser's written reviews are positive against 67% of Skip Search's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Grabba Browser ships an update every 5 weeks, Skip Search fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
