# Google Chrome vs DTNet

The clearest difference is price: Google Chrome at Free against DTNet's $0.99. Google Chrome also leads on ratings volume (3.9M vs 71) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). DTNet's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 25) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Google Chrome is free to download; DTNet costs $0.99 up front. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. DTNet asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.7 for DTNet. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 71, 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 78% of DTNet's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
