Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CMD at none against Developer Toolbox's 1. CMD also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and chart position (#125 vs unranked). Developer Toolbox's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
