Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PRK’n at 3.0 against TheftPatrol's 2.2. PRK’n also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 18%). TheftPatrol's advantage is ratings volume (237 vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
