Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cloud Battery at 4.0 against Pokit's 3.1. Cloud Battery also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 23) and review sentiment (40% vs 27%). Pokit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Cloud Battery holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1.
