Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Private Browser at 4.0 against Secure Web Browser's 3.5. Private Browser also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Secure Web Browser's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 9.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
