Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lion Browser at 4.7 against TabScroll Split's 3.6. Lion Browser also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). TabScroll Split's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
