Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against X Browser's 3.7. Google Chrome also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (3.9M vs 49). X Browser's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and X Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 67% of X Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, X Browser every 29 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
