Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CPU at 5.0 against DarkBlock's 4.3. CPU also leads on price ($0.99 vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). DarkBlock's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
