Best for a phone browser with a free built-in VPN
Aloha is a browser for iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac with a free VPN, ad blocking and tab locks. The VPN's wide location choice, device-wide use and kill switch need Premium at $7.99 a month, and the privacy claims are the vendor's own.
Who Aloha Browser is for
- Fits if you want a VPN and an ad blocker inside the browser itself
- Works for locking individual tabs with a passcode or Face/Touch ID
Who Aloha Browser is not for
- Skip it if you want VPN country choice or a kill switch without paying, as those are Premium
- Pricey if you pay monthly: $7.99 a month is $69.99 a year, about $5.83 a month
- Watch out: the Premium price shown is the US App Store one and may vary by region
- Watch out: the privacy claims are the vendor's own, backed by an audit of its privacy policy it cites
- Not for you if a crypto wallet is a turn-off: Premium can be turned into an NFT through an Aloha Profile

Keep Aloha Browser, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Aloha Browser you would be making a web browser. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $69.99 a year.
What you could make
- Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A web browser.
- Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Aloha Browser’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
