Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Circle Shield at none against AD 2442's 1. Circle Shield also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). AD 2442's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
