Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pure Web Browser at free with in-app purchases against RBrowser's subscription. Pure Web Browser also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 12.0). RBrowser's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
