Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WHO Contraception tool at none against GYNStat's 2. WHO Contraception tool also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). GYNStat's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
