Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pi Browser at 57% against BAuthenticator's 8%. Pi Browser also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 43). BAuthenticator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
