Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LolByte at 5.0 against PhoneBattery's 4.3. LolByte also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). PhoneBattery's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (381 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
