Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GeckoTerminal at 4.8 against Crypto Watcher's 3.7. GeckoTerminal also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (971 vs 11). Crypto Watcher's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
