Ecosia and Bare are both built for people who want more from search than the mainstream offers. Here is a straight look at how they differ.
Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees with its ad revenue. It is a genuinely good cause, and it is also a fairly standard search experience built on Bing's index with ads on the page.
Side by side
| feature | bare | ecosia |
|---|---|---|
| free, no account | ||
| no behavioral profile | ||
| no search history kept on you | limited | |
| no ads on the results page | ||
| minimal, link-only page | ||
| query routed through engine's server |
the verdict
Pick Ecosia if planting trees with your searches matters most to you. Pick Bare if you want the quietest, ad-free, no-history page and would rather support causes separately.
Try Bare in one search
The fastest way to decide is to run a real search. Bare gives you plain links and a single quick fact when it is confident, with no account, no history, and no profile, and your query reaches the index through our server rather than straight from your device.
