Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iQua2 at 4.8 against WaterGuru's 4.1. iQua2 also leads on ratings volume (763 vs 239). WaterGuru's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 38%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
