Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Caraplug at every 2 weeks against Eclipse Home's every 4 months. Caraplug also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Eclipse Home's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
