The clearest difference is monetization model: Protección at free against DaviPlata's free with in-app purchases. Protección also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 29%). DaviPlata's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1.2K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
