Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CypherAir at none against OneCryption's 5. CypherAir also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and device support (4 vs 1). OneCryption's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
