Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Browser Note at 100% against Cloud Battery's 40%. Browser Note also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Cloud Battery's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
