Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Anti Browser at Free against Glide's $1.99. Anti Browser also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). Glide's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Anti Browser is free to download; Glide costs $1.99 up front. Glide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Anti Browser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anti Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anti Browser has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Glide's written reviews are positive against 83% of Anti Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
