# Google Chrome vs Argon VPN

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Google Chrome at 3.9M against Argon VPN's 307. Google Chrome also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). Argon VPN's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 307, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Argon VPN every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
