Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Record Shelf at 5.0 against Private Web Browser's 4.0. Record Shelf also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and device support (3 vs 1). Private Web Browser's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Record Shelf sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Private Web Browser sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Record Shelf holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Web Browser has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Record Shelf ships an update every 5 days, Private Web Browser weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
