Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iPolice at Free against Cricket Sounds's $0.99. iPolice also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). Cricket Sounds's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
