Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Find Devices at 100% against Cloud Battery's 40%. Find Devices also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Cloud Battery's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 41). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
