# Cloud Battery vs Unplugged

The clearest difference is rating: Unplugged at 4.7 against Cloud Battery's 4.0. Unplugged also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Cloud Battery's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 116) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Battery sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Unplugged sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Unplugged holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Battery has 1.5K ratings behind it against 116, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Cloud Battery's written reviews are positive against 48% of Unplugged's.

Cloud Battery ships an update every 2 months, Unplugged every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
