Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Secure Web Browser at 3.5 against LYBrowser's 1.0. Secure Web Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). LYBrowser's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
