Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Watermark at none against Blur's shown. Watermark also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Blur's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 3.6K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
