# Friendly Social Browser vs E.

The clearest difference is review sentiment: E. at 100% against Friendly Social Browser's 48%. E. also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Friendly Social Browser's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Friendly Social Browser sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and E. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Friendly Social Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Friendly Social Browser has 84K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Friendly Social Browser's written reviews are positive against 100% of E.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Friendly Social Browser ships an update every 2 weeks, E. every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
