# Truecaller vs Google Chrome

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Google Chrome at 61% against Truecaller's 22%. Google Chrome also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (4.1M vs 253K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Truecaller sells 11 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.

Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 4.1M ratings behind it against 253K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Truecaller's written reviews are positive against 61% of Google Chrome's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
