Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shearwater Cloud at 2.6 against Dive Check's 1.0. Shearwater Cloud also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (104 vs 2). Dive Check's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
