Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Budzooka at none against BudWatcher's 5. Budzooka also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). BudWatcher's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months) and chart position (#57 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
