Sogou Browser 12 is out: startup is 35% faster, engine switching is smootherSee what is new

Is it paid

The personal edition is free with no crippled features; the enterprise edition is licensed and adds management and audit.

The browser itself is free for personal users, and core capabilities such as the dual engine, ad blocking and sync cost nothing. What costs money is centralized management and audit for organizations.

What is free

The personal edition includes all browsing capabilities: dual engine, ad blocking, download manager, sync, extensions and mobile apps, with no feature limits and no forced advertising.

  • All browsing features available
  • No time limit
  • No forced advertising
  • Free for personal use, including office work

What is paid

The enterprise edition adds central policy deployment, extension governance, security audit and dedicated support, licensed per device and per year.

  • Central policy and configuration deployment
  • Extension whitelist and risk control
  • Security audit and log export
  • Dedicated support with response targets

How to tell them apart

The personal edition is downloaded directly from the official site or app store and needs no license key; the enterprise edition is deployed by your administrator, and individuals cannot buy enterprise features on their own.

  • Personal: download from the official site
  • Enterprise: deployed by the organization
  • There is no paid "speed boost" upsell
  • Beware of third parties charging fees in our name
