Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Google Chrome at weekly against Split Screen's every 12 months. Google Chrome also leads on ratings volume (3.9M vs 4.6K) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). Split Screen's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.6 for Split Screen.

Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 82% of Split Screen's.
