Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WOOX Security at 4.7 against FOWL's 2.1. WOOX Security also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 18) and ads (none vs shown). FOWL's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
