The clearest difference is rating: Proton Drive at 4.1 against Censor Text's 3.0. Proton Drive also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proton Drive sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Censor Text sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
