Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Auto Agent at 74% against Powergate's 12%. Auto Agent also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (42K vs 299). Powergate's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
