Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clear at 100% against MyDataHelps's 45%. Clear also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). MyDataHelps's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (309 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
