Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: KWMSYS at Free against My Lightning Tracker Pro's $4.99. KWMSYS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). My Lightning Tracker Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and chart position (#5 vs unranked). On ads there is nothing between them.
