Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: It's a Date at free against TableWatch's freemium. It's a Date also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 2). TableWatch's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and device support. On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
