# Google Chrome vs Hashtag Master

The clearest difference is ads: Hashtag Master at none against Google Chrome's shown. Hashtag Master also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Google Chrome's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (61% vs 33%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hashtag Master sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hashtag Master holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 4M ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 33% of Hashtag Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Hashtag Master every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
