Verdict
The clearest difference is price: piHour at Free against Browser's $1.99. piHour also leads on ads (none vs shown). Browser's advantage is chart position (#186 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
