Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CryptCloudViewer at Free against Disk Decipher's $0.99. CryptCloudViewer also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Disk Decipher's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
