Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SmartDefense at Free against iNet Pro's $9.99. SmartDefense also leads on iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). iNet Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 30 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
