Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BuzzAlert at none against ChangeWatcher's 2. BuzzAlert also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). ChangeWatcher's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
