Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zapya at none against Google Chrome's 25. Zapya also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Google Chrome's advantage is ratings volume (4.1M vs 33K) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). 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. Zapya asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.5 for Zapya. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 4.1M ratings behind it against 33K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 61% and 62% positive.
Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Zapya every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
