Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Owlfiles at 4.6 against CyberData's 3.7. Owlfiles also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 33%) and ratings volume (7.2K vs 3). CyberData's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
