Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anker Power at 70% against RYOBI's 30%. Anker Power also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). RYOBI's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (13K vs 1.5K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RYOBI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RYOBI has 13K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Anker Power's written reviews are positive against 30% of RYOBI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anker Power ships an update every 2 weeks, RYOBI fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
