# Smart Search & Web Browser vs Get Sauce

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Smart Search & Web Browser at 12K against Get Sauce's 25. Get Sauce's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Search & Web Browser sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Get Sauce sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
