Onion Browser is the original free and open-source Tor-powered web browser for iOS. Onion Browser helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you. “The best Tor-related offering on iOS right now is Onion Browser” - The Daily Dot, October 14, 2015. Featured in: The New York Times, The Guardian, Salon, TechCrunch, Gizmodo, Boing Boing, Lifehacker, Macworld, The Daily Dot, & others. FEATURES: • Browse the internet over Tor: - Protect your privacy from website tracking - Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs - Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor. • Fight online tracking: block scripts and automatically clear cookies and tabs, based on your preferences. • And more privacy-enhancing features! DISCLAIMERS: - Web browsing is much slower than through a normal web browser or a VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network. - Onion Browser might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge), force-quit, and then restart the app. - Use of Onion Browser is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device. ** Onion Browser is free and open-source software.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EcoPay at 5.0 against Onion Browser's 3.2. EcoPay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Onion Browser's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Onion Browser sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. EcoPay asks for nothing beyond the download.
EcoPay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Onion Browser has 2.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Onion Browser ships an update every 3 weeks, EcoPay every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
