Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ProPass at 100% against Defender HD's 25%. ProPass also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Defender HD's advantage is ratings volume (905 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
