Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clay Boss at 5.0 against Potfolio's 4.2. Clay Boss also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26). Potfolio's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Potfolio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Clay Boss sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Clay Boss holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Potfolio has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
