Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Teak Browser at free against ChatX's free with in-app purchases. Teak Browser also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). ChatX's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 70%) and ratings volume (481 vs 39). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Teak Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ChatX sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
