# Heart vs Side Browser

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Heart at none against Side Browser's 3. Heart also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Side Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Side Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Heart asks for nothing beyond the download.

Side Browser holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heart has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Heart's written reviews are positive against 67% of Side Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Heart ships an update every 3 weeks, Side Browser every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
