Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ProtectAd Plus at none against AdBlocker's shown. ProtectAd Plus also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). AdBlocker's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
