Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Diigo Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diigo Browser has 561 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Text Browser's written reviews are positive against 59% of Diigo 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, Diigo Browser every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
