Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Google Meet at weekly against WatashiVision's every 2 months. Google Meet also leads on ratings volume (2.3M vs 8) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). WatashiVision's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
