Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Total Protect at none against Car Play Connect's 10. Total Protect also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.3). Car Play Connect's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 13 months) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
