The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Premium is $7.99 a month or $69.99 a year, about $5.83 a month, which sits inside this category's cheapest quarter ($7 or less). |
| Free plan and trial | B | The free plan includes a VPN, ad blocking, tracking protection, a privacy report and tab locking, and a 1-week Premium trial is offered in the app. |
| Features | C | A VPN, ad blocker, locks and file tools, but more VPN locations, the kill switch and device-wide VPN are Premium only. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record. It installs and runs as a browser with ad blocking and tracking protection on by default. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | iOS, Android, Windows and macOS are listed, with Premium syncing across devices. No list of integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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 it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
