# uDisk vs Google Chrome

The clearest difference is ads: uDisk at none against Google Chrome's shown. uDisk also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Google Chrome's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. uDisk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 233, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of uDisk's written reviews are positive against 61% of Google Chrome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

uDisk ships an update every 2 months, Google Chrome weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
