Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Private Browser Deluxe at 4.5 against Zip Browser's 3.8. Private Browser Deluxe also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 12) and review sentiment (81% vs 69%). Zip Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
