Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MouseBot at Free against Power Hover's $0.99. MouseBot also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 62) and review sentiment (85% vs 76%). Power Hover's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
