Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PowerSpoke at none against Cycling Computer's 2. PowerSpoke also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Cycling Computer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
