Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PAK Start at none against Philips Water's shown. PAK Start also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Philips Water's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
