ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Figgy Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Obsidian Web Clipper has 105 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Obsidian Web Clipper's written reviews are positive against 63% of Figgy Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Obsidian Web Clipper ships an update every 9 days, Figgy Browser every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
