Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wallbox at 4.5 against Hayward Poolwatch's 1.0. Wallbox also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 1). Hayward Poolwatch's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
