# Google Chrome vs easySearch

The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against easySearch's 4.2. Google Chrome also leads on ratings volume (4M vs 12) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). easySearch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.3 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and easySearch sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 4M ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 68% of easySearch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, easySearch monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
