Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mirror Browser at 5.0 against Text Browser's 3.9. Mirror Browser also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 31 months). Text Browser's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 50%) and ratings volume (36 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mirror Browser holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Browser has 36 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Text Browser's written reviews are positive against 50% of Mirror Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Text Browser ships an update every 31 months, Mirror Browser every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and July 9, 2026 respectively.
