Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Powertime at 4.6 against My Vodafone's 2.9. Powertime also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (42% vs 29%). My Vodafone's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (633 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
