Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DriveCamX at none against Cloud Driving's 1. DriveCamX also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Cloud Driving's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
