Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lookahead+ at none against WatchThisCube's 3. Lookahead+ also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). WatchThisCube's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
