Both are free to download. Cloud Battery sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Firmware Manager for AR.Drone asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cloud Battery holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Battery has 1.5K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Firmware Manager for AR.Drone's written reviews are positive against 40% of Cloud Battery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
