Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BackAtHome at none against Secret Browser's 2. BackAtHome also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Secret Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 27.0). On price there is nothing between them.
