Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CD Check at 5.0 against MyBonds's 3.5. CD Check also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). MyBonds's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
