Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Phoenix at none against RedApp Browser's 8. Phoenix also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (14K vs 2.3K). RedApp Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
