# Browser vs Rugged AI

The clearest difference is update cadence: Rugged AI at every 3 weeks against Browser's every 6 weeks. Browser's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Browser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Rugged AI sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rugged AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Browser has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Browser ships an update every 6 weeks, Rugged AI every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
