Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against SafeFM's 4.2. Google Chrome also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4M vs 42). SafeFM's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
