Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Startpage at none against Public Bathroom Finder's 1. Startpage also leads on ratings volume (7.5K vs 5). Public Bathroom Finder's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
