Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Barava at none against Watts Up?'s 1. Barava also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 32 months). Watts Up?'s advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
