Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tabster at 100% against GET Mobile's 10%. Tabster also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). GET Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (31K vs 16). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
