Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: iFox Browser at free against Light Surf Browser's free with in-app purchases. Light Surf Browser's advantage is ratings volume (61 vs 11). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. iFox Browser sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Light Surf Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
