Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: UBrowser at none against Browser Watch's shown. UBrowser also leads on ratings volume (570 vs 49) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Browser Watch's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 37%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
