Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chessconnect at 5.0 against Anker Power's 4.5. Chessconnect also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%). Anker Power's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 7). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
