Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: T at 4.7 against Protection 360®'s 4.5. T also leads on ratings volume (208K vs 58K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Protection 360®'s advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
