Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: My PCAFI at free against Clearstream's free with in-app purchases. Clearstream's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Clearstream against 5.0 for My PCAFI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clearstream has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
