Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WelcomeBob at none against WhenService's 1. WelcomeBob also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). WhenService's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
