Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HTML Keep at 5.0 against Private Browser's 4.2. HTML Keep also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Private Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
