Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GenieMaths at Free against Pocket CLI's $74.99. GenieMaths also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Pocket CLI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
