Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PegelWatch at none against myPWS's 11. PegelWatch also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). myPWS's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
