Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Possum at 100% against Powersensor's 57%. Possum also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Powersensor's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
