Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ShiftPower at 61% against POWERbot's 7%. ShiftPower also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). POWERbot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
