Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RedApp Lite at 4.6 against Pure Web Browser's 4.1. RedApp Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). Pure Web Browser's advantage is iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
