Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BLUETTI at 4.3 against AnkerBox's 2.7. BLUETTI also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 15). AnkerBox's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
