Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Y at 5.0 against Wristcam's 3.8. Y also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.4). Wristcam's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
