Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IQ at none against Microsoft Edge's 4. IQ also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Microsoft Edge's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
