Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Protocol at none against Dynamix's 17. Protocol also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). Dynamix's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
