Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Protect It at none against NumMind's 1. Protect It also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). NumMind's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
