Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AquaTune at none against Ad Protection's 24. AquaTune also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.5). Ad Protection's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
