Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Brady Express Labels at 4.3 against EXFO Power Checker's 1.0. Brady Express Labels also leads on ratings volume (425 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). EXFO Power Checker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Brady Express Labels holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brady Express Labels has 425 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of EXFO Power Checker's written reviews are positive against 63% of Brady Express Labels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EXFO Power Checker ships an update every 8 months, Brady Express Labels every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
