Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iSafePlay at Free against Alook Browser's $0.99. iSafePlay also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Alook Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On ratings volume, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
