Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CVS Group at free against Padlock's paid. CVS Group also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and device support (3 vs 1). Padlock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
