Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: i at 4.4 against Mobile Security Professional's 2.0. i also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 5%) and ratings volume (251 vs 29). Mobile Security Professional's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
