Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Private Browser ⊘ at none against Search All's shown. Private Browser ⊘ also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Search All's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 21 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
