Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: eBrowser at free with in-app purchases against Lion Browser's subscription. Lion Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lion Browser sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and eBrowser sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
