Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pure Web Browser at 4.1 against XR Browser's 3.6. Pure Web Browser also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 12) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 12.1). XR Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price 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. Pure Web Browser sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. XR Browser asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pure Web Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 43 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Pure Web Browser's written reviews are positive against 100% of XR Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
