Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ampaway at 67% against PowerFlex's 21%. PowerFlex's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5.4K vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PowerFlex holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PowerFlex has 5.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of PowerFlex's written reviews are positive against 67% of Ampaway's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PowerFlex ships an update fortnightly, Ampaway every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
