Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SplitterUp at 100% against Proton Drive's 37%. SplitterUp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Proton Drive's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
