Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Watchdog at none against BetSlate's 10. Watchdog also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). BetSlate's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
