Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: G+ at 5.0 against Watsons ID's 4.1. G+ also leads on ads (none vs shown). Watsons ID's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
