Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: uncovAR at none against Watch OWN's shown. uncovAR also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Watch OWN's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
