Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LaundryCat at 56% against WASH's 24%. LaundryCat also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). WASH's advantage is ratings volume (200K vs 5.7K) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
