Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Subscriptions at 4.7 against Whatssub's 4.0. Subscriptions also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (86% vs 71%). Whatssub's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.2 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
