# Private Browser ⊘ vs Search All

The clearest difference is ads: Private Browser ⊘ at none against Search All's shown. Private Browser ⊘ also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Search All's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 21 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Private Browser ⊘ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Search All sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Search All holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Search All has 2.9K ratings behind it against 309, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Private Browser ⊘'s written reviews are positive against 52% of Search All's.
