Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cốc Cốc at none against ProtectAd Plus's 6. Cốc Cốc also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). ProtectAd Plus's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ProtectAd Plus sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $10.49 per month. Cốc Cốc asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cốc Cốc holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cốc Cốc has 764 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Cốc Cốc's written reviews are positive against 78% of ProtectAd Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cốc Cốc ships an update weekly, ProtectAd Plus every 10 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
