Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PROTECT at none against HELLO's 2. PROTECT also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). HELLO's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
