Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MCES at Free against Paramedic Protocol Provider's $14.99. MCES also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Paramedic Protocol Provider's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
