Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Deckloud at Free against CloudDeck's $1.99. Deckloud also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.2). CloudDeck's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
