Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CloudClip at none against Trove's 2. CloudClip also leads on ratings volume (45 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Trove's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
