How that compares in General
Too few general tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome (this page) | Free | - | - | |
| Safari | Free | free | - | vs Google Chrome |
| Microsoft Edge | Free | free | - | vs Google Chrome |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Google Chrome badges page.
Before you pay for Google Chrome
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Google Chrome runs on windows, macos, linux, ios, android, and is published by Google LLC of Mountain View, CA. The full record is on the Google Chrome review, and the rest of the category is under best general tools.
