Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tab at 4.2 against Symantec's 2.7. Tab also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 7). Symantec's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
