You can check the battery status of your phone and watch with your watch. Compatible with complications (automatic update). You can check the charging amount and charging status of the phone in a timely manner from the clock face. We will notify you by a notification when the charge amount of the phone or watch becomes less than the specified% or becomes full charge. The graph also displays the change in charge level for your phone and watch. - Set up complications with the watch app on your watch or phone. - The battery status displayed in the complication is automatically updated approximately every 12 to 60 minutes. The reason why the update interval has a range is that it depends on Watch OS. If the automatic update has stopped (for example, there is no update for more than 1.5 hour), tap the complication to restart it. In the iPhone app, the latest update time is displayed under the watch's charge status display. - Tap the complication to update to the latest status. - A circular complication can be assigned to the outer circle and the inner number to indicate the battery level of the phone and watch, respectively. -- I am a Japanese developer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BatteryPhone at none against Cloud Battery's 1. BatteryPhone also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Cloud Battery's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 156). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Battery sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BatteryPhone asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cloud Battery holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Battery has 1.5K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of BatteryPhone's written reviews are positive against 40% of Cloud Battery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
