Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clorox Pool at none against Drift Anchor's 3. Clorox Pool also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Drift Anchor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drift Anchor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Clorox Pool asks for nothing beyond the download.
Drift Anchor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clorox Pool has 29K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
