Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: phoneWatcher at every 2 weeks against MonthDay's every 4 months. phoneWatcher also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8). MonthDay's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
