Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Horologists at 5.0 against Watch Case's 4.2. Horologists also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.6). Watch Case's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
