Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PowerDrive Plus at fortnightly against EasyStart Web's every 10 months. PowerDrive Plus also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). EasyStart Web's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
