Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cloud Battery at Free against Battery Widget's $1.99. Cloud Battery also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 198). Battery Widget's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Cloud Battery is free to download; Battery Widget costs $1.99 up front. Cloud Battery sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Battery Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cloud Battery holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Battery has 1.5K ratings behind it against 198, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Cloud Battery's written reviews are positive against 41% of Battery Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cloud Battery ships an update every 2 months, Battery Widget every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
