About this app
Search the web. Plant trees. Fund climate projects.
Ecosia is more than just a search engine — it's your way to support climate action and tree planting projects every day, just by browsing the internet.
🌳 Search with purpose Like other search engines, Ecosia earns money from ads. But unlike them, we use 100% of our profits to fund climate action. Over 250 million trees have already been planted across 35+ countries.
🔒 Your data stays yours We only collect what's needed to deliver search results, and your searches are always encrypted. — We want trees, not your data.
⚡ Our solar plants Searching requires energy. Ecosia invests into renewable energy, phasing out fossil fuels from the electricity grid.
🌍 Transparency & Ownership As a not-for-profit, steward-owned company, we publish monthly financial reports that show you which organisations were funded.…

Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.

What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
65–79% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
From the package we downloaded and read — version 150.0.7871.63.42, scanned 2026-09-21.
Permissions Android classifies as dangerous
None requested
Counted against the eighteen permissions listed in collect-package.ts. A dangerous permission is one Android asks the user to grant; requesting one is not itself a finding.
Analytics or tracking SDKs in the scanned package
None found
Advertising SDKs in the scanned package
None found
Counted as distinct SDKs in the package we scanned. One mediation bundle can contribute several, so this is not a count of advertisers.

Developer says data deletion can be requested
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text
