# Dash Web vs Private Browser

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Private Browser at 100% against Dash Web's 50%. Private Browser also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5). Dash Web's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.9 vs 3.5). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dash Web sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Private Browser asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dash Web holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Dash Web's written reviews are positive against 100% of Private Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dash Web ships an update fortnightly, Private Browser every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
