Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: TouchyNotes at fortnightly against Private Browser's every 2 months. TouchyNotes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). Private Browser's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 29) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
