Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Banking at 5.0 against Forex Watch's 4.5. Banking also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). Forex Watch's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
