Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Drwer at 4.5 against Encryptor's 4.0. Drwer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). Encryptor's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
