Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Private Web Browser at every 4 days against Rubyist's every 3 weeks. Private Web Browser also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Rubyist's advantage is ratings volume (93 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
