Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IDIS Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Content Browser Mobile has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of IDIS Mobile's written reviews are positive against 15% of Content Browser Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IDIS Mobile ships an update every 2 months, Content Browser Mobile every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 6, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
