Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Security Protex at none against Clorox Pool's shown. Security Protex also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Clorox Pool's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
