Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Penguin Protection at 100% against Classify It!'s 55%. Classify It!'s advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (64 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Classify It! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Classify It! has 64 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Classify It!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Penguin Protection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
