# Raycast vs BrowserGPT

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BrowserGPT at 100% against Raycast's 55%. BrowserGPT also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Raycast's advantage is ratings volume (242 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raycast sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and BrowserGPT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BrowserGPT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raycast has 242 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Raycast's written reviews are positive against 100% of BrowserGPT's.

Raycast ships an update every 11 days, BrowserGPT every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
