Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Protexb at none against DNSwitch's 1. Protexb also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). DNSwitch's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
