The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shomri Manager at none against Lion Browser's 6. Shomri Manager also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). Lion Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
