Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HaLowLink at none against Cloud Battery's 1. HaLowLink also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Cloud Battery's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
