Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pebble at 5.0 against Polestar's 4.4. Pebble also leads on iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). Polestar's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
