Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against Secure Folder PRO's 3.6. Google Chrome also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4.1M vs 77). Secure Folder PRO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
