Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EVduty at 3.0 against AmbuEnergy's 1.3. EVduty also leads on review sentiment (31% vs 0%). AmbuEnergy's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
