Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Google Chrome at 3.9M against Float's 8.9K. Google Chrome also leads on chart position (#2 vs unranked). Float's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Float sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.7 for Float. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 8.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 64% of Float's.
Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Float every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
