Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Private Browser at 100% against Hive Private Browser's 50%. Hive Private Browser's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hive Private Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Private Browser's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hive Private Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
