Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FileEncryptor at none against dB Meter's shown. FileEncryptor also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (4 vs 2). dB Meter's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
