Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deflector ◇ at none against SheetWidget's 3. Deflector ◇ also leads on device support (3 vs 1). SheetWidget's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 27.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
