Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CBA Empower at 5.0 against Brightspeed's 4.0. CBA Empower also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Brightspeed's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
