Both are free to download. iFox Browser sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Browser and Notes for iPad asks for nothing beyond the download.
Browser and Notes for iPad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFox Browser has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of iFox Browser's written reviews are positive against 0% of Browser and Notes for iPad'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 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
