Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Watchletic at 80% against Equipment Setup's 17%. Watchletic also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). Equipment Setup's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
