Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Contentroll at Free against WatchFeed's $0.99. Contentroll also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). WatchFeed's advantage is chart position (#58 vs unranked) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
