Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Google Chrome at Free against Phone Drive Pro's $4.99. Google Chrome also leads on ratings volume (3.9M vs 2.3K) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). Phone Drive Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Google Chrome is free to download; Phone Drive Pro costs $4.99 up front. Phone Drive Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 — 4.7 for Phone Drive Pro against 4.7 for Google Chrome. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Phone Drive Pro's written reviews are positive against 61% of Google Chrome's.
Phone Drive Pro ships an update fortnightly, Google Chrome weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
