Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Planetary Hours + Widget at free against PoetryBot's freemium. Planetary Hours + Widget also leads on ratings volume (919 vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). PoetryBot's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
